In July, twelve local 8 year old boys represented Southeast Oklahoma as they competed in the Cal Ripken Regional 8 year old Machine Pitch All Star Baseball Tournament in Jonesboro, Arkansas. The boys played in 6 games that were stretched over the 4 day competition. They finished 5th out of a total of 21 teams. Parents & grandparents in attendance were very proud of the effort & representation displayed on behalf of Southeast Oklahoma.

Twenty-one members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club endured two days of over one-hundred degree heat to compete in their annual noon to noon bass tournament. The tournament began at noon on Saturday, August 4 and ended twenty-four hours later at noon on Sunday, August 05. A weigh-in was held at 9:00 p.m. on Saturday night. After weigh-in, members could return to the lake and continue fishing or go home and then return at their leisure to complete the tournament. The stringer weights from both days were added together to determine the contestants final weight for the tournament.
