In 2014, OG&E made a substantial contribution that helped facilitate the start of early design planning for the renovation of the Crystal Bridge Conservatory. In 2019, OG&E opened Together Square, a new downtown green space. This space is accessible to the public and has allowed the nonprofit organization Fields and Futures to build a basketball and soccer court that is
free for everyone to use. Additionally, this green space is greatly utilized by John Rex School, providing a wonderful outdoor area just steps away from the downtown school. OG&E awarded Scissortail Park a grant to create a Monarch Garden near the Boathouse, promoting monarch conservation. The park's horticulture staff completed planting the garden in late summer. Visitors can visit the garden and take an information from the Monarch Mailbox to learn how to create their own backyard garden to support Monarchs and other pollinators. OG&E also sponsored the Park's holiday lighting, including the Union Station lighting with music for the past three years.

Rouse connected with Holden Manchester on another score. Curently, Crossings occupies the fifth spot
in the district standings, as only the top 4 teams in each district qualify for the playoffs. Meanwhile, John Marshall and Mount St. Mary look to end the season with wins. The Bears (1-8, 1-6 4A-1) endured a 42-16 loss at Weatherford, while the Rockets (2-7, 0-6 3A-1) took a 28-19 defeat against Mannford.

yard scoring drive to hand the Rockets a 2819 loss last Friday night at Glass Family Field. “We just shot ourselves in the foot too many times,” Mount St. Mary coach Matt Truelove said after the game. “We had too many penalties and turnovers on offense and our defense couldn’t get off the field.” The teams traded two fumbles each over the final minutes of the first quarter and opening of the second quarter before Mannford got on the board first in the second period.

Krug and Stanley were among 10 seniors who played their final home games. “I thought Joe (Krug) had a fantastic night and ran well for us,” Truelove said. “I really feel bad for him and our other seniors.”

Cyclones capture 1st title; Antlers grab 10th crown Both the Casady and Deer Creek boys cross country teams capped off successful seasons by winning state championships last Saturday at Edmond Santa Fe. After dominating the SW Preparatory Conference over the last few seasons, the Cyclones made their presence known in their first season in OSSAA by capturing the Class 3A championship. “It’s been a great experience,” said Casady coach Matt Pena. “We’ve become extremely proud members of the OSSAA.” The Antlers, which missed the podium in a “disappointing” 2022 season, reclaimed the top spot in 6A with
their 10th crown in school history. “Our these this year has been ‘the process is greater than the outcome’,” Deer Creek coach David Riden told FRIDAY. “We were glad to have the outcome we did on Saturday.” For Casady, all five runners finished in the top 20 to finish nearly 50 points better than second-place Community Christian and Heavner came in third. Ashton Hale paced the Cyclones with a runner-up finish in the individual standings, completing the 5-kilometer coursein 16:29.24. Ayden Kerr claimed fourth, followed by Billy Mathis in 10th, Same Rhoades in 17th
and Joshua Goggins in 19th place. One advantage in Casady leaving the SPC, Pena said, is the ability for parents and other students to attend the state meet just a few miles up the road in Edmond. “There was a lot of excitement (around the state experience),” Pena said. “It was so much better to have our students and parents here to celebrate.” Meanwhile, Deer Creek also boasted five athletes in the top 15. Brody Woodcock led the Antlers with a time of 15:37.72 over the 5K course to take third place for the Antlers. Story continued at OKCFRIDAY.com.

Variety Spotlight on Oklahoma
V
ariety magazine, America’s premiere source for entertainment news since 1905, published a glorious article about Oklahoma this week both in print and on Variety.com. The story, written by Todd Longwell, provides an indepth look at the rise of the Oklahoma film industry through the eyes of a few key industry players. The piece also explores the impact of Oklahoma film rebate programs in attracting big projects and the impact of those big projects on building soundstages, growing small businesses, and creating job opportunities across the state. When I lived in Los Angeles, Variety magazine was like coffee. The first thing every person in our production office did every single morning was read Variety cover to cover. Every producer in town wanted to know what everybody else was doing. No one wanted to be out of the loop or caught off guard. Some of us would continue the information dive into The Hollywood Reporter. But everyone read Variety. Variety magazine was founded by legendary Jewish journalist and publisher Sime Silverman as a weekly magazine focused on the vaudeville and theater scene in New York City. The magazine
expanded to Los Angeles in 1933 and added the Daily Variety to cover the movie industry, establishing the magazine as the premiere source for entertainment news. Even though Variety is online, the printed version is still on every desk in Hollywood. Variety.com, the online version of the magazine, now attracts 53.3 million people each month. That’s ten million more than HollywoodReporter.com and double the audience of Entertainment Weekly’s ew.com, according to online marketing research firm SEMRUSH. The Variety story about Oklahoma opens with Prairie Surf CEO and businesswoman Rachel Cannon discussing her reasons for moving back to Oklahoma after a successful twenty-year career as a Hollywood actress on network television. Cannon has become such an integral part of the Oklahoma film industry; people forget what a formidable voice she is on our behalf to the broader entertainment industry. When Rachel Cannon talks, people in Holly-

wood listen. They know her, they recognize her from television, and they trust that she knows how to do things their way. When she lures them to tour our city and see the giant sound stages in downtown Oklahoma City, they return with projects like American Underdog, Tulsa King, and Twisters. In the article, Cannon is joined by Reservation Dog’s creator and filmmaker Sterlin Harjo, Oklahoma Film + Music Office Director Jeanette Sampson, Cherokee Film Senior Director Jennifer Loren, and film costumer Valerie Parker. Each of them has played a big role in the growth and expansion of the Oklahoma film industry and offers a unique perspective on its current success. The piece also gives a lot of credit to the successful productions of Harjo’s Reservation Dogs and Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon for drawing positive, international attention to filming in Oklahoma. Variety magazine’s article is accompanied by critical praise for Killers of the Flower Moon, which will soon be followed by “For Your Consideration” ads through awards season and into next year. The Oklahoma film industry is hot right now. And it’s likely to get even hotter.

Heritage Hall celebrates hearty homecoming
C
harger Pride has filled the Heritage Hall campus throughout Homecoming Week, which brings a fun week of theme days and class competitions in the Upper School. This year’s Homecoming theme, Under the Disco Ball, kicked off with a colorful lineup of dress up days. On Monday, students and faculty sported Juicy tracksuits, butterfly hair clips, big gold chains, as well as many other iconic trends from the 2000s for the day’s Y2K theme. On Tuesday, Chargers got “arrested” by our own “fashion police” (student council officers dressed in police uniforms) for their atrocious “Crimes Against Fashion,” which included jean shorts and leggings, mis-matched prints, and other outfits that should be outlawed. Western Wednesday was filled with cowboy hats, much plaid and denim, and the clanking of cowboy boots. Friday’s lip sync competition, an annual highlight held on the morning of the home-

We like it when other people visit our city By Eric Oesch Staff Writer Have you seen the colorful and peppy commercials on TV touting Oklahoma City as a hip, fun tourist destination? You might have seen one of them on your favorite channel recently. You can’t miss the upbeat music behind the images featuring handsome young folks and families enjoying the attractions, places and people that make our city special. The commercials are targeted to the leisure drive markets within a seven-
