Oklah o m a th at football is king and every thing else is
seco nd rate. Whil e th e p erc eption of thi s w ill certainly
carry over to Uni o n, nothing cou ld be furth e r fro m
the truth.
Gil Cloud
Director of Athle tics
Bartlesville, Sa nd Springs, Sapulpa and Stillwater. Th e
new 9-team conference will co mpete fo r cha mpion ships in
the following sports: cross-country (boys/girls) ; softba ll
(girls); wrestling, ba sketball (boys/girl s); swimming (boys/
girls); volleyball (girls) ; baseball ; track (boys/girls) ; tennis
(boys/ girl s); golf (boys/ girls) and soccer (boys/ girls).
Two sports which are still in question, as far as conference
championship is concerned , are football and gymnastics.
Because of the 8 -team district p lan in footb all, each of th e 9
conference schools can not play the whole conference in a
match game.
The conference is currently considerin~ alternatives to a
conference schedule and the members will decide in
January on how to proceed .
Gymnastics must remain an independent sport as only 4
of th e 9 members have a gymnastics team. Conference
rules state that over 50% of the schools involved must
participate in an activity to constitute a conference
championship.
The 7th Annual Union Redskins Roundball C lassic wi ll
begin January 6 and run through January 11 at two sites
(high school gym and junior high gym) . Si xteen girls teams
will fill two 8 -team brackets and 10 boys teams will
compete for the title in the boys divisions. This is an
outstanding week of basketball with exce llent teams and
individual players competing for the championship. Make
plans to attend!

-COMMENTTh ere has long been a stigm a a ttach ed to at hl eti cs in
Oklah o m a th at football is king and every thing else is

carry over to Uni o n, nothing cou ld be furth e r fro m

Gil Cloud
Director of Athle tics
Bartlesville, Sa nd Springs, Sapulpa and Stillwater. Th e
new 9-team conference will co mpete fo r cha mpion ships in
the following sports: cross-country (boys/girls) ; softba ll
(girls); wrestling, ba sketball (boys/girl s); swimming (boys/
girls); volleyball (girls) ; baseball ; track (boys/girls) ; tennis
(boys/ girl s); golf (boys/ girls) and soccer (boys/ girls).
Two sports which are still in question, as far as conference
championship is concerned , are football and gymnastics.
Because of the 8 -team district p lan in footb all, each of th e 9
conference schools can not play the whole conference in a
match game.
The conference is currently considerin~ alternatives to a
conference schedule and the members will decide in
January on how to proceed .
Gymnastics must remain an independent sport as only 4
of th e 9 members have a gymnastics team. Conference
rules state that over 50% of the schools involved must
participate in an activity to constitute a conference
championship.
The 7th Annual Union Redskins Roundball C lassic wi ll
begin January 6 and run through January 11 at two sites
(high school gym and junior high gym) . Si xteen girls teams
will fill two 8 -team brackets and 10 boys teams will
compete for the title in the boys divisions. This is an
outstanding week of basketball with exce llent teams and
individual players competing for the championship. Make
plans to attend!
