STILWELL - Brad Drain's field goal was the difference on Friday night as Stilwell posted a 10-7 win over Sallisaw to beat the Black Diamonds for the first time since 1977.

Drain's kick put Stilwell up 10-0 in the third quarter, but Sallisaw quarterback Matt Oberste and receiver Dalton Lessley connected for a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to get Sallisaw on the scoreboard.

Sallisaw had another drive going late in the game. However, a long pass play resulted in a fumble and Stilwell recovered at its own one-yard line and was able to run out the clock.

Stilwell is now 4-1 overall and 2-0 in District 4A-4. Sallisaw slips to 1-4 and 0-2 ahead of Friday's game at Fort Gibson.

Gore 27, Talihina 21 (2OT)

GORE - The Pirates scored touchdowns on both of their possessions in overtime to knock off Talihina on Friday night at K.G. Horn Stadium.

The Pirates took a 14-0 lead in the first quarter as Talon Bell went 76 yards with a screen pass from Trace Kizzia and Jacob Elyassin ran for a 53-yard touchdown. Talihina pulled within 14-7 by halftime before tying the game in the second half.

Gore is now 3-2 overall and 3-1 in District A-8. The Pirates will travel to Lincoln Christian next Friday for a non-district game. Talihina dropped to 1-4 and 0-3.

Muldrow 33, Checotah 17

CHECOTAH - The Bulldogs snapped a three-game losing streak on Friday night with a 33-17 win at Checotah in District 3A-4 action.

Muldrow improved to 2-3 overall and 1-1 in the league, while Checotah fell to 1-4 and 1-1. Muldrow will travel to Roland on Friday night.

Victory Christian 14, Roland 6

TULSA - Victory Christian took a 14-0 lead in the first quarter and then held off Roland to claim a District 3A-4 victory on Friday night.

The Conquerors used a fake field goal and a touchdown pass to grab an early 14-0 lead, but Roland quarterback Drew Roberts tossed an eight-yard touchdown pass to Travon Hudson to get the Rangers within 14-6 in the second quarter.

The Rangers had a chance to possibly pull even late in the game when they had a first-and-goal situation from the three-yard line. However, Roland was backed up and, on fourth-and-goal from the 13, Roberts scrambled for 11 yards before being tackled at the two.

Victory Christian is now 2-3 overall and 2-0 in the district while Roland dropped to 2-3 and 1-1. The Rangers will host Muldrow on Friday night.

After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher.
