Students discuss topics during BCM Focus Week
By Courtney McBride
NSU’s Baptist Collegiate Ministries' Focus Week was a success.
This year’s theme was “Our Story” and throughout the week different students shared their story, and how God is working in their lives.
Monday Kelsey Holeman and Layna Austin talked about their mission experiences and how God uses them in leadership. Tuesday Dexter Cogburn talked about his call to ministry. Wednesday Becca McNeil and Haley Stocks, former Miss NSU spoke about their musical talents and how God has blessed and used them through these talents. Thursday Nick Highsmith wrapped it all up by sharing his story and reading some prayer requests that hit home.
“I always enjoy the speakers and the praise time,” said Katrina Gragg, Haileyville senior.
After the service, students anticipated Nick Highsmith’s pie in the face since the guy’s lost the jar wars to the victorious girls.
Basketball season is around the corner
As the leaves begin to turn colors and the wind begins to howl just a hair harder; the long wait for basketball to begin is just a few weeks away. The men’s basketball team for the RiverHawks will pick up where they left off Nov 2 at Minnesota. Their record last year was 20-9 and 10-2 in the Lone Star Conference.
Although the men’s team lost two key seniors they have many returning players with experience. Jason Jones, Cathors, France senior will be looked upon to lead the team. Jones who was named to the NCAA/ NABC Division-II all-star game last year will be a force to be reckoned with.
“If they would have not had injuries and a small bench last year, I believe we could have gone a lot further,” said Evan Flores, Tulsa sophomore.” I am excited to see how we will do this year.”
The RiverHawks women's basketball team, who had an excellent season, fell short unfortunately of the Elite 8 last year. They finished 28-7 and 13-1 in the Lone Star Conference. Preseason polls have the RiverHawks ranked 11th nationally.
“Our expectations are big this year, but I believe that with this group of girls we have a great chance to go further than we did last year,” said Jasmine Wright, Dallas junior.
The RiverHawks women's basketball team will return home Nov 18 to face St. Mary’s at 7 p.m.; and the men’s team will return Nov. 17 to host Ecclesia. Both games will be at Jack Dobbins Field House.
'The Buried Life' checks off the bucket list
“So when we come to your town, you know we’re going to ask; what do you want to do before you die?” This is the end of the television show “The Buried Life” on MTV. That is a weighted question when thought about heavily.
Most people have certain things they want to accomplish before they die. However, if never thought about it could be hard to come up with a bucket list. “The Buried Life” is a show comprised of four guys traveling all over the world marking off one task at a time on their bucket list. In the process of completing the tasks they help a stranger complete something on their own list. This show is full of heartfelt stories that need to be heard.
“For the most part, I would have to say that I have accomplished a lot in my 42 years of life, but there are definitely many more things I want to add to my bucket list,” said Leah Moore, Tahlequah junior.
Some choose traveling, doing something out of the ordinary or even the simple things like making a family.
“I love to travel, so I want to travel to Germany, Africa and Australia, just to name a few,” said Moore.

The baseball team work together to fix the field
By Roldan Ochoa
The baseball team is working on their field to get it ready for the spring season.
The baseball players are working hard on their pitching mount to make it better for
the pitchers. All the players are taking turns to work on the mount after they do their
individual work outs.
“We are working together as a team to make our field in a better condition to play
and for the coming season, because we pass the most of the time playing in here then
living in our houses. The baseball field is our home and the team is the family who live in
here, we are owners of this field that is why we take care of it,” said Andrew White, Elfrida, Ariz., senior.
The players are also replanting grass, working on the infield dirt and painting the fences.
The baseball team is going to be working for two or three weeks until they get done fixing the field.
