I was up until after 4:30am getting my photos and video loaded and organized on my computer and now have just a few hours sleep. Check back (much later) for wrestling and basketball photo pages. -- Ted 10am Sunday

Snow over ice on roads now (at 9 degrees). Be extremely careful if you must get out. Saturday Baseball Report from Snook Bayouth: Collinsville JV beats Owasso JV 4-3 in extra innings (8) in season opener (photo later)


Ted's Tactical Plan: I hope to have photos of the basketball girls hoisting a regional plaque and the wrestlers hoisting another state championship trophy by the end of the day. But you won't see any status here on either until about midnight as I plan to travel light and leave my computer in Collinsville. Spending any update time after basketball here might delay me getting to OKC for the first match of the wrestling finals and any delay there might give me more minutes on the potentially icy roads late this evening. -- Ted Wright -- noon Saturday 3/1/2014
