  • Guard Dogs bite 72nd CONS in first round of playoffs

    If 72nd CONS had all their players at the game, things could've been very different. Although the 20-6 final score resembles a game that was mostly lopsided, the victorious Guard Dogs would've had their hands full under different circumstances. "We had a great game and look forward to the rest of

  • 32nd CCS rolls 965th AACS in first round of playoffs

    If Monday night's game was a playoff match with a league championship on the line, the 32nd CCS squad sure didn't act like it. They were just having fun. So if fun equates to blow out victories, then maybe the 32nd CCS team (5-1 overall) should make F-U-N their new banner-font motto because it

  • Hawks lose to Pioneers in close game

    Although it's strange to say, the Tinker Hawks' loss proved a victory of sorts.

And even though the NAIA Pioneers pulled away for a 93-81 victory in Altus

  • Lady Hawks drop one to Western

But victory's sweet taste fell just out of reach Nov. 21, and the Lady Hawks watched a hopeful win slip

  • ALC aims to improve workload

  • The future is wide open

    In her cubicle, while fidgeting and typing, Airman 1st Class Ashley Mize, 72nd Force Support Squadron, spoke about her love for the Air Force. Having just celebrated her first anniversary in the service, she has big plans: she wants to go to the U.S. Air Force Academy, through the Leaders
