Local briefs

From Staff reports

OWASSSO — Tahlequah’s baseball team dropped a 7-0 decision to top-ranked Owasso on Saturday in the finals of the Owasso tournament.

With the loss, the Tigers fall to 5-5.

Tahlequah, ranked 19th in Class 5A, advanced to the tournament finals after demolishing Muskogee, 10-1, on Friday.

Austin Riley limited Muskogee to two hits during his time on the mound. Riley, in addition to having five strikeouts on the mound, added four hits on offense, including a three-run double in the sixth inning.

Tahlequah took an early lead on Colby Brittain’s three-run home run, and the Tigers would never look back from that point on.

Brandon Conrad also posted a first-place finish for the Tigers, beating the rest of the field in the high jump at 6 feet, 2 inches.

The Tigers — which also had Logan Cook finish third in the discus at 142 feet, 2 inches — came in sixth place with 26 points.

At the Glenpool meet on Friday, the Tahlequah girls finished eighth with 44 points.

Roach also finished second in the high jump at 5 feet.

Poll

What do you think of Sen. McCain's proposal to allow cable TV channels to be sold a la carte (individually, rather than in bundles with a lot of channels no one wants)? Bear in mind some less popular channels could go by the wayside with no bundling support, and that while overall packages should theoretically decrease in cost, individual channels might cost more.

Strongly in favor of a la carte.
Somewhat in favor of a la carte.
Somewhat opposed to a la carte.
Strongly opposed to a la carte.
