VALLIANT — Hugo earned its first home win of the season Thursday night, beating Valliant 47-21 on homecoming. Even though the Bulldogs were one of the easier games left on Hugo’s schedule, the win was important for a few reasons.

WILBURTON — In a wild game that included questionable penalties and a good deal of animosity, Hugo put up a season-high 37 points to beat Wilburton last Friday night. Hugo’s offense was led by their stable of running backs, who accounted for 256 rushing yards and four touchdowns against the Diggers.

The Rattan RAMS are again headed to the Oklahoma Class A baseball State playoffs. They earned the trip by being named co-Regional Champions after defeating Latta, losing a close 8-6 game to the Red Oak Eagles, and then defeating Latta, 7-6 in a tight thriller.
