Exploring Underrated Sports in America Where Oklahoma Graduates Go after College
Countless graduates from diverse categories of education begin a journey of advanced opportunities in our nation’s workforce.
So how many graduates of Oklahoma colleges are staying back in the workforce?
According to the state’s most recent Employment Outcome Report, more than three-fourths of graduates from Oklahoma public colleges and universities are employed in the same state
five years after graduation.
Retention rates were particularly high among nursing graduates and those who received a scholarship through the Oklahoma Promise Program. These statistical figures are said to believe that higher education specifically creates the drive on our workforce in Oklahoma.
Data collected to determine the accurate retention rate is further based on graduates from Oklahoma high schools
Sports in the United States are like a vibrant mosaic, with fans going crazy for their favorite football, basketball and baseball teams. These three sports are like giants in the American sports world, capturing the hearts and minds of millions. But hidden away from the spotlight, there's a whole world of athletic competitions just waiting to be discovered. These sports bring together athleticism, strategy and cultural heritage. They deserve more attention from American sports fans. So, let's take a journey and explore a few unique sports that have
the potential to captivate audiences and carve out their special place in the vast landscape of American sports.
Usually, squash is confused with its most proximate relative, racquetball.
"I am not well-versed in how squash works, but I wish I was. I truly had never heard about it until I spoke to a good friend of mine from India," said John Dean, a sophomore at Rose State College.
Two players, eyes locked, are engaged in an absolute fight. Their stage is a fourwall court. The players use high-powered rackets to project a tiny, hollow ball against the front wall. The idea is to hit the ball with such accuracy and power
that the opponent cannot return it before it bounces twice on the floor. Squash asks for very particular skills. The players have to
be masters of lightningfast reflexes to react to the changing rotation of the

Oklahoma on the Olympic Map: Softball and Canoe Slalom in 2028
Praveena Jackson Editor-in-Chief
Oklahoma City has been chosen, in a historic move, to host the canoe slalom and softball major events at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Approved by the International Olympic Committee, this approach is a calculated attempt by the LA organizers to save expenses while promoting the Olympic spirit across the country. Oklahoma is expected to be a major
as well as students from outside our state attending colleges or universities. The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education emphasize the numbers of what some would consider critical occupations such as teaching, engineering and nursing.
Graduates from STEM programs recorded a high percentile (84.1%) of students finding employment within one year post graduation. Current freshman Lauden Smith was happy to share some of his future endeavors as a STEM major.
“I’m currently pursuing my associate degree in science and look to further my education in mechanical engineering at a four-year university.”
When asked on his thoughts of staying in Oklahoma after graduation, Smith had this to say; “More than likely I will, I’m interested in working for
factor in the success of the Games, presenting its outstanding facilities and hospitality to a worldwide audience.
The 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles organizers have suggested that the softball and canoe slalom events be held in Oklahoma City, which is almost 1,300 miles away from the main host city. The aim is to make the most of current facilities and save expenditures. The IOC Executive board accepted this decision, which was
the Tinker base.”
Well known as the “Beginning Track Program,” Rose State’s registered nursing program thinks that their education, through the facilitation of this dynamic process provides students the scientific background, practice-based knowledge and clinical reasoning skills that are necessary to enter the practice of nursing.
Oklahoma’s highest retention rate came in the nursing field. At different types of degree levels (associate, bachelor's and master's), more than 95% of nursing graduates were employed in the state one year after graduation.
For nursing students in Oklahoma, the state average passing rate of ADN programs is 83.32%.
Out of 35 nursing schools within our state, Rose State College ranks sixth overall. Their average passing rate is recorded at 88.65%.
Rose State Nursing Alumni Heidi Saavedra provided experiences of
competitions at our unique, world-class whitewater and softball venues,” Holt was quoted as saying in an nbcnews.com article. “We are confident we will be an outstanding partner to LA28 in creating a dynamic environment for Olympians and fans. We are excited about the opportunity to support one of America’s great global cities, Los Angeles and work closely with the LA28 organizing committee to ensure that the 2028 Olympic Games are a success.”
made public. The City of Los Angeles must still provide its final approval. To make sure the Games are a success, Oklahoma City's Mayor, David Holt, voiced his excitement for the proposal and his desire to work with Los Angeles. This action demonstrates a pattern in which the financial demands of hosting the Olympics are managed by leveraging the infrastructure that already exists.
“Oklahoma City has hosted many international
her past tenure among this college and her current career endeavors; “It’s been a few years since I graduated from Rose. The nursing program is a field I’d recommend to anyone. Without my ADN, I would not be in this fulfilling position at Integris as an RN.”
Developed in 1992, legislation within the state created the Oklahoma Promise program. This was created to help families who met certain income restrictions send their children to college.
Recently in 202223, current and former Oklahoma’s Promise scholarship recipients earned 3,976 certificates and degrees; almost half included bachelor's and a third were associate degrees. Coincidentally, the students among this program averaged a retention employment rate at 92.6% one year after they graduated. Graduate from the University of Oklahoma, Sean Dixson had this to say:
American side a sizable home-field advantage.
The stadium is now a unique facility, having undergone numerous upgrades throughout the years. The park added training rooms, underground dressing rooms and larger dugouts between 2013 and 2015.
Known for being the home of the Women's College World Series every year, Devon Park in Oklahoma City will host the softball competitions during the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
With 13,000 seats, this stadium is significantly larger than any other in the Los Angeles area, where no venue can hold more than 2,000 spectators. Devon Park, which is situated on the grounds of the USA Softball Hall of Fame and the organization's headquarters, gives the
“My parents enrolled me in the Oklahoma Promise Program. I was able to complete my master's in communications and I’ve been active in our state’s workforce including employers such as Beacon, Waste Management and ABF Freight.”
Gov. Kevin Stitt mentioned how these retention rates are immensely significant and the graduates who stick around are huge contributors to the state's economy.
Among our entire nation, Oklahoma in comparison averaged 73.3% rate of graduates who were employed in Oklahoma. This was in the median; states like California and Washington displayed high retention rates in the workforce.
Oklahoma's institutions of higher education have been working diligently to enhance relationships with area businesses by providing programs necessary to meet the needs of changing
The press box, along with the exterior entrances, underwent renovations in 2018, which included the addition of a brick facade, new ticket windows and a three-story press box with interview rooms. With the addition of roughly 4,000 permanent seats following the 2019 World Series, the stadium's capacity was increased and its standing as a top location for significant softball events was established.
These upgrades, combined with less extravagant ones made later, helped Oklahoma City become eligible to host the Games.
Riversport OKC in Oklahoma City, is scheduled to be utilized in 2028. It was the site of the
industries.
This year Stitt, alongside legislative business leaders, placed an emphasis on upgrading Oklahoma’s workforce delivery system.
2024 U.S. Olympic Trials for canoe slalom. “Working at Riversport is already an incredible experience, with so much happening every day. I can only imagine how inspiring it would be to witness all the talented athletes in action during such a major event,” said Emma Grace, a staff member at Riversport.
Oklahoma City's selection as the venue of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics' softball and canoe slalom competitions highlights the city's growing reputation as a top sports destination. Oklahoma City is in a good position to provide an unforgettable Olympic experience since it has a history of hosting big events and top-notch facilities like Riversport OKC and Devon Park. This choice reinforces Oklahoma's place in the Olympic legacy while additionally supporting the LA organizers in controlling expenses and showcasing the state's capacity to be a major player in the international arena.
The creation of the new Oklahoma Workforce Commission will complement students who will soon be joining the workforce.

There’s Always Something For Students At Rose
Berryhill Assistant Editor
There's a club for almost every interest at Rose State. If you love film, music or animals, there's a club for that. If you have hobbies such as gaming, baking or cartooning, there's a club for that. You can be around people with majors that align with yours. You can even join clubs with individuals whose identity resembles your own. Since last semester, there has been an increasing number of clubs formed on campus, all with differing objectives. Some being Raiderthon, Raiders Reaching Others and the Housing Creative Crew. Raiderthon, a recently created organization, is a year-long student-led fundraiser for philanthropy benefits to Children's Miracle Network, Children's Hospitals for doctors, research and excellent care.
Lily Goolsby, the Executive Director for the organization, was inspired from her family's, involvement in
Oklahoma's Children's Health Organization.
This organization's dance marathons are through Children's Miracle Network who partner with a local hospital or foundation, more specifically the Children's Health Foundation. They disperse the funds to different doctors, hospitals and research centers in Oklahoma. However, they primarily go to OU Children's Hospital. Not only does the money go to the doctors, but it also goes to the families involved.
One event they are looking forward to hosting is a big event in the spring. At this event, they'll host a dance marathon and reveal how much money they have raised throughout the year. Their goal is $10,000. Although it may be a large number, everyone is confident they can reach their goal. Other events include writing letters for donations around December, as, well as writing Christmas cards for the hospitals.
This organization prides itself on making a difference. "I want to make
free events throughout the year that include free food and T-shirts.

"My family's been involved in our organization for a long time, so it's something that is really close to me, it's something that I'm passionate about," said Goolsby. "I feel like it's changed the trajectory of my life," she said.
Another organization, Raiders Reaching Others, is an organization dedicated to helping individuals earn volunteer hours for easier accessibility.
a very big impact on our community and children's hospitals," said Director of Public Relations Jessica Roe. "I want everyone to know about it."
Moreover, this organization hits home to many individuals. Whether they are struggling with an illness and need the help or know
Individuals will be informed on when, where, why and how long the events will take place. They search for volunteer hours that occur on and off campus, Especially since some scholarships require off-campus volunteer hours. This organization intends to have an event every month.
President Dravin Henderson started this organization inspired by his time in high school.
“Allison and I actually went to high school with Dravin,” said Vice President Emma Davis. “We were all in Student Council and we would volunteer often. We thought it would be cool to bring it to Rose.”
Some events they are looking forward to Pumpkinville at the Myriad Gardens in late September. They are also looking forward to working with OK Kids Korral, a housing organization that helps families with a child with cancer. While the families are staying at the suites, they host events for them.
“You can cook for them, you can clean for them and you can do arts and crafts with them,” said Public Relations Director Giyonnah Hurvey.
Additionally, they are seeking to help a veterinarian center with walking dogs and packaging their meals.
“I’d say our plan in the long run is to help our community, better our community, and Rose State too,” said Davis. Henderson said he wanted to put Rose State on the map as a school that volunteers often.
These are a few of many clubs that are newer on campus. Some include the Cyber Club, Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature, Sign Language Club, the Mental Health Student Advisory Board and the Gay Straight Alliance. There are clubs everywhere at Rose State. Visit https:// rosestatecollege.formstack. com/forms/active_clubs for more information.
Although they do not work with any specific organizations, they are happy to work with OK Kids Korral and the Rose State Resource Center. Their goal is to amplify the needs of others. Whether it’s those who are in need or individuals who are ready to help their community.
7 p.m. Monday-Friday. Now to answer a few questions you might have:
- You don’t have to ask to use the restroom. Congrats, you are an adult now.
- The TFCU Café does not offer a meal plan, but if you download the app, you get a dime back for every dollar
you spend.
- Sporting events and Rose State Theatre productions at Rose are free for students, so go support baseball, softball, volleyball, men's and women's soccer and the drama students.
- You need a parking pass. Don’t park in spots

- Take advantage of all the free events, most of them have free food.
- Get involved. Join at least one club, it will help
you make friends and have fun. College is what you make it so make it fun.

'Amygdala' is an Enigma
Peter Monden Online & Cartoon Editor
Grundeis is a German gothic-rock band that specializes in multi-layered guitars. What makes Grundeis so interesting is that they have such a small following despite their incredible music. They currently have less than twothousand monthly listeners on Spotify. I love their sole album: “Amygdala,” and I think they should have a much bigger following.
Amygdala is a gothic-rock album through and through. It has a suitably dark sound. The multi-layered guitars work together to create a watery and echoey ambiance. The vocals have a somewhat desperate and haunting quality. The drums maintain a droning rhythm and the guitars and vocals contribute to the effect. The pacing is deliberate and often somewhat slow.
I’ll stick mostly to the highlights of the album. Amygdala opens with “Blood to Water.” It’s a solid enough track with a slower pace. Next up is “Vain,” it’s pretty good. “Vain” has a meandering pace and vocals that have a sense of tired desperation.
“Run” is energetic and anxious from an instrumental perspective. The vocals have a lot of variety in their delivery in this song.
“Never Got Away” is easily my favorite track. The song opens with faint ambiance and a lone guitar riff as the rest of the instrumental builds around it. The vocals start slow
and weary, but they build as the second guitar joins in. Then the vocals and one of the guitars recede again. The instrumental continues briefly until the pattern repeats. But instead of deconstructing at the end, the guitars build to a dense, pounding and slightly abrasive rhythm. The vocal delivery becomes more purposeful in tone with a sense of conviction before taking on a haunting quality and fading out. Then the song slowly decreases in speed until it stops.
“Vex” and “Tormented” are both similar to “Run” in that they provide variety.
“Tormented” in particular is a standout with an emotional tone and vocals I’d describe as passionately apathetic.
“Bleed” matches the energy of “Tormented” but with a droning composition.
“Rejection” starts out somewhat unremarkably but ultimately builds to something interesting.
”Break” is a good sendoff for the album. It’s slower and utilizes tone and backing vocals to create an aggressive but apathetic sound.
Out of the whole album, none of the songs drag. It's possibly the only album on Spotify on which I've left a like on every track. Even the least interesting tracks warrant a relisten. I’ve included most of them in my daily music playlist at least once. “Never Got Away” has been in and out of my daily playlist many times. I couldn’t recommend this album enough to fans of gothic-rock.
Realistic HEMA game surges on Steam–developer signs on thousands of playtesters
Xander Strickland News Editor
In 2022, a Reddit user called _SideniuS_ posted on r/unrealengine showing a brief tech demo titled “Advanced full-body physics simulated humanoid.” This 43-second demo revealed a self-righting, reactive ragdoll with procedurally generated movements that seemingly adapted to its terrain and forces exerted upon it by the user.
Later that year, in October, a developer on X (formerly known as Twitter) with the handle @ Halfsword_game posted a link to the aforementioned post followed by their own tech demo, featuring blank characters in a basic 3D environment, with each character bearing some form of medieval weapon. These characters appeared to react to their environment and to damage taken from these weapons in a realistic manner, flinching and staggering before righting themselves.
Two months ago, this same developer released their playtest to a game previously demoed on Steam, known as Half Sword. Now, the playtest has over 1,000 live players on Steam. All authorized
playtesters who were issued email invitations by the developer.
The high volume of testers is due to the innovative mechanics Half Sword implements. The game is a medieval combat simulator inspired by Exanima, it allows the player to don historically accurate arms and armor in gladiatorial bouts against similarly equipped AI-driven enemies who fight to the death. The small but passionate development team has been hard at work recreating the unique aesthetics of historical European martial arts (HEMA) and bringing them to life in Half Sword. The playtest demonstrates realistic weapon handling which allows players to physically maneuver their weapon to strike their opponents or to parry any incoming attacks.
The game represents a distinct, unique experience compared to other medieval combat systems (like Bloody Bastards and Exanima) by focusing on realistic physics and HEMA-inspired combat techniques. All movements are procedurally generated, controlled by the player clicking and dragging their mouse in the direction they would like their sword to move. Uniquely, these
movements appear to follow existing HEMA strikes and guards and even when the player’s mouse is stationary, there are some cases where their character will move their sword into a guard passively parrying an incoming strike.
In addition to these dynamic strike mechanics the developers of Half Sword have also slowly been introducing new features into the playtest for the last several weeks. These features reinforce the realism of the game by making fights more unpredictable or strategic in some cases.
Bone breakage allows the players to break one another’s limbs, rendering shield or weapon arms useless. Dismemberment is the same, sometimes eliminating opponents altogether by cleaving them in two. Bleeding and exhaustion can cause players to slowly lose consciousness during a fight, and precise weapon and armor hitboxes add skill elements to the game, meaning players have to deliberately place meaningful strikes.
The developers of Half Sword are actively updating their game based on the feedback they receive from playtesters. The playtest is currently accessible for free
on Steam and only requires users to submit a request to join the playtest through said platform. Testers are encouraged to share their experiences and suggestions through all channels as the game’s content continues to diversify. The Half Sword Games team plans to introduce more content with the next snapshot expected to introduce visual mechanics for blood loss and potentially new arenas in which to fight.
Half Sword is turning out to be a unique entry in the medieval/fantasy combat genre in gaming, potentially setting the standard for 3D combat damage systems. Developed by a small indie team with a high attention to detail and a passion for realism, historical accuracy and player feedback, this game promises an immersive experience for the general gaming audience and especially those interested in medieval swordplay. This latest playtest is an opportunity for students to get involved in a promising game and help shape the future of what could be a milestone for realistic combat simulators.

ball, top-notch stamina to maintain rallies going on for a long time and strategic thinking to keep or dodge an opponent's rally. One could say imagining a mental work of art demanding a more intensive focus, similar to that needed in a chess match, fused with the effort of a marathon, is pretty close to the essence of squash. Watching the world's best squash players, like Nicol Ann David, one would think that this is not only a sport where power and finesse are raised to some of their highest degrees, but also a game where both mental and physical abilities are challenged.
Other than that, field hockey is another uncommon in parts of the U.S. It is a fastpaced team sport played on grass. For those in search of a sport that combines the fast-paced, physically demanding action of hockey and the skill ad teamwork of soccer, field hockey is an exciting alternative. Played on a grass field with protective gear and players brandishing curved sticks, the goal is to move a hard ball down the field into the opposing team's goal. Field hockey boasts a strong international presence, especially in Europe, Asia and Australia. While still developing in the United States, the sport is catching on, especially at the collegiate level. With teamwork, strategic positioning and
outstanding displays of athleticism, field hockey has the potential to become an American sports favorite.
The next sport is badminton. With its captivating blend of force and simplicity, badminton is a convincing demonstration of athleticism on the court. Badminton, on the surface, could look like a simple backyard game but behind the poised strokes is an incredibly demanding sport that demands huge athleticism.
“Growing up, I used to go for badminton classes and they were brutal. I eventually played badminton professionally and went to a few competitions. I had to train day and night for it but it was worth it because I managed to snatch a few medals,” said Chloe Tan, a junior at the University of Central Oklahoma.
Using small, lightweight rackets played by two or four people, badminton involves the throwing of a feathered shuttlecock back and forth across a net. The simplicity of the game misrepresents the phenomenal skill needed to be a great badminton player. Elite badminton players have lightningfast reflexes to react to the unpredictable flight of the shuttlecock, developed over years of dedicated practice. Their bodies are in full flight as they leap, dive, and contort to return every shot. But badminton isn't all about grace; explosive power is essential too. Smashes can reach
speeds over 200 kilometers per hour (124 mph), testing an opponent's defenses and reaction time. From Strings and Paddles, Tan Boon Heong, a professional badminton player from Malaysia set the fastest badminton smash ever recorded, at 493 km/h (306 mph). Badminton masters use delicate drops and net shots to add another dimension of complexity to the sport. This makes opponents grind their teeth
of traditional tags than Kabaddi. This fast-paced, contact sport originally from India has been gaining popularity in the United States. Two teams take turns sending a single player, known as a "raider," into the opponent's territory. The raider's goal is to tag as many opposing players as possible while holding their breath—the catch is that their breath is their only timer. The raiders must get back to their side before their breath runs out, or they are docked. This is then followed by an enjoyable mix of tag and wrestling, where the opposing team attempts to hold the raider while he attempts to tag them.
court divided into named zones. Players are allowed to hold the ball for only so much time in each zone. Thus, they must pass and move quickly if they are to drive the ball down the court. They do this to take the ball and aim it at a hoop with no backboard like in basketball.
and rework their game plans. Watching a highlevel badminton match is an exciting experience, seeing the incredible blend of athleticism, accuracy and tactical thinking required to be successful.
Moving on, Kabaddi is another sport that is not well-known. Kabaddi embodies a thrilling blend of tag, wrestling and strategic schemes. There isn't a more exciting modification to the world
Pennina Jackson Photography Editor
Kabaddi requires a unique combination of physical ability and tactical understanding. Raiders must have great agility and strength to move through the opposing team's defense, while defenders must have quick reflexes and teamwork to strategize how best to capture them. The constant back-andforth action, punctuated by the raider's desperate gasps for air, puts audiences right on the edge of their seats.
Moving onto the next sport, netball, where teamwork and skill are essential. Netball or, as it is sometimes termed, highscoring basketball without dribbling, provides a more than interesting take on the traditional court game.
Once the sport of the Commonwealth countries, netball is played by two teams who fight each other for control of a ball on a
Netball's emphasis on teamwork and constant movement makes it such a fast-paced and thrilling sensation. Unlike basketball, where one-star player often takes control of the game, the game is reliant on all players to play their part in the offense and defense. Players must possess tremendous skill to dodge around opponents and create space for a pass, whilst also being aware of their teammates' positions at the same time. Constant movement and strategic passing patterns make netball almost like a dance of athleticism to watch. These brief narratives just scratch the surface of the diverse tapestry of exciting sports that most American viewers have yet to discover. All sports provide a distinct combination of athleticism and cultural tradition, for example, netball's focus on quickness and teamwork, and Kabaddi's mix of strategy and strength. So when the desire to try new sports emerges, one should not be afraid to step outside of conventional American favorites. By doing this, you could find a new interest or form of entertainment as well as recreation, adding new perspectives to life.
Haikyuu: A Review
Haikyuu is one of the most inspiring anime I've ever watched. It’s a manga series and a TV show that follows Shoyo Hinata, a middle school student who becomes obsessed with volleyball after watching a national championship on TV. Shoyo Hinata was just a little boy when he was cycling in front of an electronics shop. As he peddled
past, he suddenly heard a ‘ womp ‘ sound, a strange, unfamiliar noise that made him stop his tracks. Curious and a bit puzzled, he glanced around and noticed a small crowd gathered around the shop's window. With his usual curiosity and enthusiasm, Hinata approached the crowd to see what had captured everyone’s attention. As he peeked through the window trying to see what had caught everyone's attention, he saw the
main thing that inspired him; It was a star player that goes by the name “the Little Giant.“
The Little Giant is a legendary star player from Karasuno High School’s volleyball team who was known for his impressive skills despite being shorter than most of his opponents. This player had a significant impact on the short and inspired many, including a young Hinata. Ever since then, Hinata had not stopped dreaming about being a volleyball champion.
