The last time the Marlow Lady Outlaw softball team took the field, it was in the quarterfinals of the state tournament.
With a strong core of players back from that team, expectations would
put the Lady Outlaws back in Hall of Fame Stadium come October.
Outlaw fans will get their first look at this year’s football squad with the annual Blue-White scrimmage on Saturday night.
The game is set to begin at 6 p.m. at Outlaw Stadium.
Instead of admission, fans are asked to bring donations of towels, canned soda and bottled water for the team.
With mixed results, the softball season began in the area with Bray-Doyle and Central High both getting shutout wins, while Marlow fell Tuesday night.

This week I had to say so long to summer.

When school lets out, thus the sports of the local high schools cease.
The old saying goes, “That’s why they play the game.”
Otherwise, scheduled contests might just be settled in how big your particular school is.
According to the 2008-09 average daily membership (ADM) numbers
released by the Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association,
Marlow is the fifth-smallest school in Class 3A football this season.
