Bobcat baseball is back, and continues to improve

March 21, 2013

A little more than a decade ago, after the closing of the baseball program, Tyrone’s students would most generally end their baseball careers as the little league season drew to a close. The boys would sadly watch America’s favorite pastime fade with good memories on the field. However, four years ago, Tyrone’s baseball program was reinstated - and the Bobcats couldn’t be more appreciative of their opportunity to play ball.

Head Coach Clay Witt said after four years back in business on the diamond, things are really starting to look up for the Bobcat team.

Lady TIgers fall to ‘Skins in OT, 2-1

March 20, 2013

Guymon’s Lady Tigers traveled across the state line to Lberal Tuesday evening and although the JV girls lost 2-0 and varsity fell to the Lady Redskins 2-1, Head Coach Michelle Davis said it was a good game. The Lady Tigers are already looking forward to another chance to dance with the Lady Redskins in April - this time in Tiger territory.

Davis said the varsity girls were the first to score in the game, in the second half. The Lady Redskins answered back with a goal in their favor with approximately seven minutes left in the game - this ultimately sent the game into overtime.

Friday evening, the Guymon Tigers boys and girls soccer team traveled to Dell City for what turned out to be a rather successful outing for both Tiger teams. The Lady Tigers experienced their first win of the season by besting the Dell City Eagles 3-0. The boys enjoyed a win of 8-1 over their big city counterparts.

Boys Head Coach Mike Taylor said it was nothing short of an “awesome” game. After halftime, the freshman boys learned what it was like to play - and win - in the big leagues of varsity soccer.

Doubleheader ends in disappointment for Tigers

March 16, 2013

Friday evening’s doubleheader at Asa Howard Legion Field left the Guymon Tigers scoreless - for both legs of the competition against the Pampa Harvesters, of Pampa, Texas. The first game saw the Tigers experience a run rule in the favor of the Harvesters with a final score of 12-0. However, game No. 2 was a bit of a different story. Although a loss of 4-0 to Pampa was disappointing for the Tigers, a much more aggressive, confident and seasoned team appeared to hit the field.
