6/4/2019 |  Ben Johnson

It's that time of year again. Summertime has arrived, and high school sports fans are left waiting for more games in August. But fear not! The Publics and Privates OKpreps Podcast will help get you through the slow months.

This week the guys recap some state tournament baseball, including Edmond Santa Fe and Pryor winning titles for the first time for both programs. The guys also look back on the memorable moments from the 2018-2019 athletic season, including some cross country, football, basketball and much more. 

The podcast closes out with Swisher breaking down this week's Skordle Shootout in Cushing. A solid field of small school hoopsters will be at Cushing Middle School, and Swisher gives you all the details you need to stop by and watch some basketball.

SKORDLE SAMPLER - Week 9 (2021)

10/27/2021 |  Michael Swisher

Halloween candy is fantastic and why exactly are these “fun sized” portions so awesome?

I believe the answer lies somewhere in the combination between quantity and variety, where someone can sample and indulge in all their favorites. 

Maybe because it only happens once a year in late October? 

As a child, Halloween meant trick or treating for hours and loading up a paper grocery sack full of Halloween candy, most of which was eaten before bedtime. 

Some of the candy ended up in the freezer for school lunches and daily snacking until all that would be left were Tootsie Rolls, Almond Joys and Mounds because those three are terrible

 I’m sorry if you like those but I do not! 

If you saw Mississippi State Head Football Coach Mike Leach’s post-game interview last Saturday, he really hates candy corn!  

I agree and think most people also hate candy corn except Adam Diesselhorst, whose birthday just so happens to be on Halloween.
