RATTAN — Rattan’s Ben Ellis threw a 1-hit shutout over Hugo on the RAM’s home field last Thursday, striking out seven and walking only one. His teammates backed up the arm scattering seven hits, inclusing one home run by Dawson Addington enroute to the 8-0 decision. Rattan plated five runs in the second inning to take a big lead over Hugo.

Eight of Hugo’s high school and middle school students are headed to State for powerlifting this year. Senior Sharod Holt and junior Mekii Bell qualified for the Oklahoma State Powerlifting Championship.

The Buffaloes season came to an end last Tuesday night after a 58-34 loss to Prague in Regionals. Hugo had dropped the first game in Regionals to Bethel before overtaking Lexington to keep their State tournament hopes alive, but Prague, which had a dominant regular season, proved to be too much for the Buffs to handle.

The Boswell Scorpions cruised past Achille in recent baseball action, scorching the base paths with a massive 12-run first inning and a 13-0 win. The Scorpions were led by Jessie Gardner and Brenden Robinson, each with three hits.
