Latest on Alves
It's been an interesting season for the Durant Lions, but the last couple of weeks have been even more so.
Beau Simmons has the latest on Daryn Alves in his article in yesterday's Durant Democrat.

Playoffs?! You want to talk about playoffs??!!
The Victory Life Eagles have been in the OSSAA for 3 years now, but due to the structuring of the districts, the Eagles' football program is enjoying membership for just the second year. And it's taken only 2 seasons to make the playoffs.
The Eagles 55-7 victory at Grandfield on Friday, coupled with the Corn Bible Academy loss to Temple, thrust VLA into the postseason. And with Thackerville's 22-point loss at Tipton, the Eagles slipped ahead of the Wildcats and into third place in District C2. One slot up in the district standings also means that, though the Eagles will have to make a journey almost out of our time zone, they will avoid a first-round matchup with Shattuck and its (current) 92-game winning streak.

A Brief Glance at Four Years
If you’ve listened to a Southeastern football broadcast over the past 4 years, then you know that I’ve been riding on the “Daniel Nichols Bandwagon” for almost that entire span. I was really sad to see Nichols’ collegiate career come to an end tonight – especially since he came so close to tying the receiving TD record and receiving yardage record. But his time at SOSU will be long remembered.
Here’s a very small glance at some of what Daniel Nichols has accomplished at Southeastern:
1st place All-time receptions – 192
1st place All-time points scored – 196
2nd place All-time receiving – 3036 yards
2nd place All-time receiving TDs – 32
4th best single season receiving – 971 yards, 2009
8th best single season receiving – 818 yards, 2007
11th best single season receiving – 797 yards, 2008
2nd most receiving TD in a season – 12, 2009
7th best single game receiving – 185 yards, Oct. 24, 2009, at NSU
8th best single game receiving – 183 yards, Nov. 10, 2007, vs. ECU
*Tied (with others) for most receiving TD’s in a game – 3, Nov. 10, 2007, vs. ECU and Aug. 27, 2009 vs. Henderson State
More on Daniel Nichols later...

How's everyone been?
Hey, everyone. Long time, no blog.
Let's start with a quick update.
SOSU 27, ECU 26
This one was a blowout early, and then the Savage Storm had to hang on at the end. Southeastern scored 27 points in the first quarter and didn't score in the final 46:24. But the Storm finishes at 7-4.
Victory Life 55, Grandfield 7
VLA not only makes the playoffs for the first time ever in the OSSAA, but snags the 3rd spot in District C2.
More about all of this later, but I needed to get back in the proverbial saddle.
See you.
