TUPATALK: Condolences to coach; sports briefs

I wanted to offer my condolences to Dewey High head football head coach Ryan Richardson on the passing of his mother.

May and her other loved ones feel a sense of peace as they honor her and mourn her absence.

We sometimes refer to the death of someone as a “loss.”

In my mind, their presence remains very strong through love, memories and the hopes they are in a better place and still thinking of us.

Following are some summaries of pass sports reports that appeared in the E-E.

Jamie Elam spun a no-hitter to power the Caney Valley softball team past Nowata, 5-0. Nowata batters never hit the ball out of the infield — those who got their stick on Elam's hummers and hump-backed change-ups. Christy Noblit also turned in a strong mound effort on behalf of Nowata. Katie Core drove in one of Caney Valley's runs. In the fourth inning, Jaclyn Hargrove crossed home play for Caney Valley.
