Deer Creek is on life support, while Oklahoma Christian Academy and Edmond Santa Fe are done for the year following Friday night.

But Sooner fan or not, you have to love the Heisman Trophy winner’s attitude.His first start could come this week against Baylor, or it could be against Texas. You will not hear any crying from Bradford, though, that is for certain.The media has questioned his decision about coming back. He could have been the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft, instead he gets injured in the opener and now his future is in question.But what seems so shocking to some across the country, really isn’t that shocking at all. Bradford is living his dream. The dream of any former high school star in the state of Oklahoma that wants to play in either Stillwater or Norman.

While Edmond Santa Fe is the only squad that will be at home next week, all four teams have a legitimate shot at state.

And there are signs the big three have reached a near full recovery from the spit.

But that reputation on the diamond appeared to have slipped a bit the past couple of seasons. Edmond Santa Fe was the city’s lone representative at the state tournament in 2007, and last fall the area teams were shut out of the ASA Softball Complex.

The Oklahoma State football team caught the eyes of many after an impressive 2008 campaign, but those expectations have only increased this year for the Cowboys, who boast three potential Heisman candidates and a recently completed Boone Pickens Stadium.

Though we will have one more season to enjoy it.

Edmond All Sports Inc. (EASI) was looking for Umpires for the upcoming youth baseball season.
