8th Demons shut
Five former Stillwater
High Pioneers will be
inducted into the Stillwater
Pioneer Athlete Memorial
during ceremonies at 10
a.m. Saturday in SHS's
Student Activities Center.
The induction ceremony
caps off a busy week of
activities surrounding
SHS's annual Homecom-
ing Football Game Friday
night at Pioneer Stadium.
The 2011 inductees are
Ernest Bradley (Class of
1929), Jack Griffith (Class
of 1944), Bruce Irwin
(Class of 1959), Don Scott
(Class of 1961) and C. D.
Mihura, who is being hon-
ored with a distinguished
service award.
Presenters will talk
briefly about each inductee,
while the families of the
inductees will receive
plaques from the S.P.A.M.
committee. A reception
will be held afterward.
I was honored to know
three of the inductees
- Bradley, Griffith and
Mihura - and each is
deserving of this recogni-
tion, as are the other two
honorees.
Jim Harris, a former
SHS football coach, who
guided the Pioneers to the
school's only football state
championship in 1967, was
a driving force in organiz-
ing this award for deserv-
ing, departed Pioneers.
The S.P.A.M. commit-
tee became committed to
providing a scholarship on
behalf of the organization
to a graduating SHS senior,
naming the scholarship in
honor of Coach Harris.
Coach Harris, a member
of the Oklahoma Coaches
Association Hall of Fame,

The eighth grade Demons rolled to a 28-0 win over the
McLoud Redskins here last Thursday night.
P-T used three second quarter scores to put the game
away and used solid defense throughout to preserve the
shutout.
The Demons first score came with 1:56 left in the first
quarter on a 15-yard touchdown pass to Jacob Gould from
Dillon Longbrake. Nickolas Huckabay raced in for the
two-point conversion for an 8-0 lead.
Fumble recoveries set up the first two second period
scores. After Gould recovered a Redskin fumble on the
McLoud 25-yard line, it took only three plays to score.
The short drive was.capped by a three-yard run by Shawn
Crosby. The extra points try failed leaving P-T with a 14-0
lead with 6:06 left in the second quarter.
Daniel Wall recovered a McLoud fumble on the first
play of the ensuing drive at the McLoud 20-yard line.
The one play drive resulted in another touchdown pass
from Longbrake to Gould at the 5:18 mark for a 20-0
advantage.
The final score came on the last play of the first half
on a six-yard TD pass to Bradyn Littau from Longbrake.
Brady Davis added the two-point conversion for what
proved to be the 28-0 final score.

Two second half scores enabled the McLoud Redskins
freshmen to gain a 21-8 win over the P-T freshmen here
last Thursday.
McLoud scored on the game's opening drive on a nine-
yard touchdown pass. The extra point kick gave the visi-
tors a 7-0 lead with 5:05 left in the first quarter.
P-T used two big plays in its first drive for the only
score. It started with a 42-yard run by Jacob Peyton to
the McLoud 16-yard line. The scoring play was a 16-yard
strike to Peyton from quarterback Zac Bledsoe. Peyton
had fell to his knees but quickly got up while the ball
was in flight to make the catch at the goal line. Bledsoe
hit Thunder Sharp in the back corner of the endzone for
the two-point conversion at the Demons held an 8-7 lead
that held up until halflime.
McLoud took the lead for good on the final play of the
third quarter on a one-yard run. The two-point conversion
failed for a 13-8 lead. The Redskins' final score came
with just over two minutes left in the game with another
one-yard run but this time the extra points try was good
for the 21-8 final score.
