his mistakes and yearned to be better. “He really wasn’t a factor in the game for Oklahoma State any longer,” Adrian said. “They kept him on the sideline. I think he grew up from that because that hurt him. He was kind of depressed by that. Then James Washington wound up going to the front line, and he started producing. I told him, ‘James Washington, he’s out of trouble. He’s a good receiver. It’s his time to shine.’ He grew up on the sideline. It made him realize what he needed to do.” Seales finished in a rut but wanted to come back stronger in 2016. The support he has around the team has helped. “My teammates came together and talked to me, letting me know that life’s too short to try to ruin your life and just came together to tell us to win games and do great things,” Seales said. In late August, Seales received a one-year deferred sentence for his October 2015 charges. Twenty-five hours of community service was one of the requirements for the deferred sentence. Seales achieved most of those hours through working at the YMCA in Stillwater. “It was good,” Seales said. “I like being around the kids and seeing their smiles.” Seales said he plans to continue to help the YMCA.

Seales grew up in Port Arthur, Texas, where seafood and barbecue served as the staple foods in the region. The smell of barbecue would permeate the shores as kids popped firecrackers at town events. It was all

and noticed the boy could keep up with him from an early age. Because of Seales’ speed, Adrian put him at running back, where he thrived. Seales’ mother, Twana Doffeny, and Adrian split when Seales was young, and Adrian moved to Missouri City, Texasm after he took a job in Houston as a chemical process operator, decaffeinating coffee beans. As Seales got older, he graduated to Pop Warner football. As soon as he got off work, Adrian made the 91-mile drive to Port Arthur to watch Seales play. By the time he got there, Seales usually had one or two touchdowns. “I guess you could say I was living my dream,” Adrian said. “I’m too old to be playing football now, so I just watch him play. Especially when the touchdowns came, I’d just look at him and tell him to go.” Although living near the shore was fun, it also, at times, could be dangerous. Seales, Doffeny, and Seales’ brother and sister had to evacuate when Hurricane Rita hit Port Arthur in 2005. Seales remembers sitting in traffic for hours on his way to Adrian’s house, where the family stayed for four months after the hurricane damaged the apartment it shared. “When I was in Missouri City, I had to make new friends and adapt to how it was out there,” Seales said. “Going back, it was great to be back because I knew everybody down there. But going back, seeing how much it had FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2016

Cowgirls surge forward with momentum BY Nate hiat t

Sp o rt s R eporter

Anna Beffer tries to make an impact when she steps on the pitch. After a golden goal victory against Texas, Oklahoma State has an opportunity to use the momentum it gained from the thriller in Austin, Texas, when it travels to Lubbock, Texas, and Lawrence, Kansas, for the last multigame road trip before postseason play. “(The win) gave us that little push we needed,” Beffer said. “… The win was like a big sigh of relief. We finally have been rewarded for all our hard work, and I think it will give us a lot of momentum going into this weekend.” OSU (6-5-2 overall, 1-2 Big 12) is fourth nationally with 33 goals, which leads the Big 12 and is three fewer than Texas Tech and Kansas have scored combined on the year. TTU (8-2-2, 1-1) was ranked in the top 25 early, but the Red Raiders and Jayhawks are only receiving votes in the polls. Jade King, Rebekah O’Brien and Jordie Harr lead the Red Raiders, with King as their top scorer. She has five goals and one assist. The Jayhawks have produced a more balanced attack than Tech. KU (8-32, 3-0) has 17 goals on 15 assists while the Red Raiders have 19 goals on eight assists. The Cowgirls, with 29 assists, lead the conference in both categories. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2016

Cowgirl midfielder Anna Beffer will be crucial to OSU’s success as it heads into road matchups against Texas Tech and Kansas this weekend. Beffer has five assists, including one on a golden goal to give OSU a 2-1 victory against Texas.

“The Texas Tech coach is a really good friend of ours,” OSU coach Colin Carmichael said. “They do an excellent job, and they play a system that is hard to match up with. They are very good at possessing the ball and have some good young players.” The Cowgirls haven’t lost to Tech in their past four meetings, though three ended in draws. Carmichael said KU has had a great season and has been the opposite of the Cowgirls. The Jayhawks have had a lot of close games, but they have found ways to win, he said. “That is dangerous,” Carmichael said.

tage and got herself in better position, and it paid off. Her fifth assist on the season set up the golden moment on the road. “To be honest, that was arguably one of the best moments I have had on the field since I’ve been here,” Beffer said. “I have a really good relationship with Colin, and I always really just want to help this team. I know I have the ability to make an impact, but I feel like I haven’t really done the team justice in times like that. “I really wanted to make a difference in the game, and it was a huge relief. I was so excited when Haley finished because we deserved that. It was such a good moment.” The Cowgirls head to John Walker Soccer Complex to face TTU at 6 p.m. Friday on FSN. After that, they travel back through Oklahoma and up to Kansas and Rock Chalk Park to play KU at 1 p.m. Sunday on ESPN3. “For us, it is a big weekend and a pivotal weekend as well,” Carmichael said. “It is important that we keep the momentum going, try to finish the season strong and make a run in postseason play.” Nate Hiatt is a sports media junior from Lansing, Michigan.
