CARDINAL FOOTBALL -- Jr. High Update -- 9-30-16

The Pryor- Creek Jr. High Football teams roared into Sallee Stadium Thursday night for a Metro Lakes Conference showdown. The rather large Pryor Tigers gave the Cardinals all we wanted in each contest. Each game demonstrated the tenacity of the Cardinals offense and defense to knock the stripes off of the Tigers. The “spread offense” of the Tigers was difficult to stop in each game, but the swarming defense of the Cardinals proved that we were the better team in each game. The Cardinal Middle School Band made the evening a great venue of entertainment for the fans and players. They played songs and led cheers all night long adding to the enthusiasm of the contest. Our cheerleaders continue to “fire-up “our fans and players in each contest, adding to the fun atmosphere of Jr. High Football.

A big “thank you” goes out to our teachers. Knock on wood, not one player has been on the ineligible list of No Pass No Play. Our teacher do an outstanding job of giving our students the tools they need to be successful in the classroom. These tools will be used as life skills very soon in the students’ life.

“No One Fights Alone, We Fight With Daniel.” Daniel Malon a freshman student athlete for the Cardinals is suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Please keep Daniel in your prayers and look for updates on the Collinsville QB Club Facebook page or Daniel’s Trek on Facebook.
Next Thursday the Cardinals will host the newest member of the Metro Lakes Conference, the Glenpool Warriors. Games begin at 5pm. Hope to see the Cardinals Nation get rowdy but display great sportsmanship.

7th grade lose a nail bitter 14-12.
8th grade win a big one 26-18
9th grade win BIG 33-16.

Coach’m up …. Tom Redding
Junior High Cheerleaders
During halftime of the 9th-grade football game on Thursday night, the Pryor cheerleaders brought signs to the Collinsville side to show their support for Daniel Malon. Several of our JH cheerleaders stayed and cheered for the game so we could participate in showing our support as well. Cheryl and I are very proud of the young ladies on our squad for their willingness to stay a few extra minutes so they could be a part of this evening. It's a blessing to have such tremendous support for Daniel, not only from Collinsville, but from surrounding communities.

Thank you -
Jeannie Smalygo and Cheryl Meyer

October is Quit Month in Oklahoma

SmokingisNotOK Campaign will inform Oklahomans about the importance of smoking cessation

OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklahoma Insurance Department, along with the American Cancer Action Network and the American Lung Association, will partner with numerous local health care providers in Oklahoma to sponsor SmokingisNotOK, a public awareness campaign aimed at informing residents about the importance of quitting smoking.

“Smoking is Oklahoma's leading preventable cause of death, killing more Oklahomans than alcohol, auto accidents, AIDS, suicide, murder and illegal drug use combined,” said Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner John D. Doak. “Last year, federal agencies clarified a requirement that health insurance companies cover tobacco use counseling and interventions. Coverage of the preventive services is required. The services are covered with no out-of-pocket costs and no prior authorization.”

According to the Oklahoma State Department of Health, Oklahoma ranks 39th among all states for its adult smoking rate, with about 23 percent of adult Oklahomans smoking cigarettes.

“Oklahoma is among 13 states that don't have comprehensive smoke-free state laws in place,” said Dawn Watson, Oklahoma government relations director, American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, Inc. “Oklahoma residents can smoke in bars and the state allows restaurants to have separate ventilated smoking rooms so there is still more to be done in making Oklahoma smoke-free.”

Oklahoma residents can get involved in Quit Month by using the hashtag #SmokingIsNotOK to share stories about quitting on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

“Our main goal is to educate and inform Oklahoma residents about the resources available to help them quit smoking,” said Jeremy Hughey, executive director, American Lung Association in Oklahoma. “We realize it is no easy feat to give up the addiction to tobacco, but Oklahomans need to know there is help available to them when they’re ready to quit.”

You can get more information about Oklahoma Quit Month at NOTOK.oid.ok.gov. There are also helpful tools online at QuittersCircle.com and you can download the Quitter’s Circle® app* from the App Store or Google Play.

The Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline is also available at 1-800-QUIT-NOW (784-8669) for access to FREE resources.
