OSU to face old Big 12 foe Texas A&M in 2019 Texas Bowl J erem y Ko lok S po rts R ep ort er @ Je r emyKolok

The Oklahoma State football team will face a former Big 12 opponent in its bowl game this postseason.

OSU and Texas A&M have not played each other since the latter left the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference in 2012, but they will meet for the first time from separate conferences in the Academy Sports + Outdoors Texas Bowl on Dec. 27 in Houston.

Texas A&M is 7-5 with a 4-4 conference record, but OSU coach Mike Gundy deemed the Aggies “the best 7-5 team in college football

history.” Their losses were at the hands of Clemson, which was No. 1 at the time and made the College Football Playoff; No. 12 Auburn; No. 13 Alabama; No. 5 Georgia and the current No. 1 team, LSU, which made the College Football Playoff.

No. 25 OSU finished the regular season with an 8-4 record, which included four tough road wins and home wins against Kansas State and TCU and concluded with a home loss to College Football Playoff-bound rival Oklahoma.

This will be the second time Gundy has matched up against Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher, who faced the Cowboys while at Florida

State in 2014 in the first game since the Seminoles won the BCS National Championship a year before. The Cowboys took home a 37-31 loss at the hands of Fisher and Jameis Winston.

The most recent time OSU faced Texas A&M was in 2011, when Brandon Weeden and Justin Blackmon helped the Cowboys escape College Station with a narrow 30-29 victory, which was a part of OSU’s 2011 Big 12 Championship run.

With the series dating back to 1996, OSU played Texas A&M every season between then and 2011. The series ended on a four-game OSU win streak between 2008 and 2011,

though Texas A&M holds a 17-10 lead in the series.

OSU’s 2019 Texas Bowl bid marks the 14th consecutive season in which the Cowboys have been invited to a postseason bowl game. This is the ninth-longest active bowl streak in all of college football and the second-longest in the Big 12.

The Cowboys have won each of their past three bowl appearances and four of their past five, and they will look to carry that three-game postseason win streak into NRG Stadium on Dec. 27 in front of t.c. brewster/O’COLLY Oklahoma State running back LD Brown runs through the what will likely be a healthy crowd of predominantly Aggie line of scrimmage during the Oklahoma State vs. Baylor football game Oct. 19 in Boone Pickens Stadium. fans.

CAN GOD BE TRUSTED? Can God be trusted? That is quite a question. Immediately many would say, “of course.” Then why don’t we take the challenge of the gospel and the scriptures, and put our faith in God’s word and his promises?

Abraham is called the father of those who live by faith. We can see in his action the demonstration of real faith.

Romans 4:21 (NIV) tells us that Abraham was “was fully persuaded that God had the power to do what he had promised.” There was no question in this man’s mind that God had the ability to do any and everything, and certainly what he said, he could do. This is dealing with God’s ability. In the impossible situation that Abraham was in, he was fully convinced God could do a miracle and keep his promise.

There is also a scripture in Hebrews that gives us another picture of Abraham’s view of God. “...he considered him MONDAY, DECEMBER 9, 2019

faithful who made the promise.”

(11:11 NIV) This verse does not talk of ability but character. Abraham not only knew God could do, but would do what he promised. So Abraham actively embraced the Lord’s promise and lived his life on that basis. What happened? The impossible took place and was fulfilled in Abraham’s life.

What has God promised you and me?

He says he will forgive our sins so we can stand excepted before him. He has promised a new life that comes directly from him. He has promised to lead our lives in a way that will count the most for eternity. He has told us that our lives will produce a fruit that will have eternal value. What are we waiting for?

He has the power to fulfill his promise to us and he is faithful to do it. Let’s go for this with all our hearts. Let’s embrace his Word to us. The promises are calling! Let’s do it!!

Blecha-Wells brings music education to the community of Stillwater Z ach Go shor n S taff Repo rt er @z achxgo s h

Music has always been a part of the human experience. In the earliest days, it was sought out by men who made the first wind instruments from bones and drums from animal hide. Music is everywhere today, seeping out of car stereos, echoing through stadiums and playing in the background of every gathering.

This balance of pitch, rhythm and tone has the power to captivate people, send shivers down their spine, express what cannot be said and bring a sense of nostalgia in an instant. To hear someone performing a piece of music live is to hear the fruits of the hours of labor it took to learn, practice, fail and practice it more, all done to make the performance sound perfect and effortless.

The impact of music in society is owed to music education, especially in the role it plays in childhood development. Quality music education teaches children how to read, write and play music. More significantly, it teaches them valuable life skills such as autonomy, courage, critical thinking and how to work in a group at a young age.

These days, music education for children most commonly comes from school, where music classes are taught. However, access to music education is diminishing in places like Oklahoma where, according to the Oklahoma Policy Institute

and Quadrant Arts Education Research, more than 800 music education classes were shut down between 2014 and 2018, leaving communities struggling to develop the skills that music education provides.

According to the Oklahoma State Department of Education, 28% of the Oklahoma student population is without any options for fine art classes.

In Stillwater, someone is working hard to ensure music education thrives in Oklahoma and across the globe. Meredith BlechaWells is an associate professor of cello at Oklahoma State University and the director of the university’s Community Music School, a program focused on providing childhood music education. With the experience of an extensive musical career and a passion for providing access to music education to every child, Blecha-Wells took the music outreach programs OSU already had and brought them together into one united school in 2017.

“The Community Music School came from kind of separate groups that were already established that came together under one umbrella,” she said. “For a while, we had a string academy, which is a version of the youth orchestra, we had the youth choir program, but we didn’t have the Suzuki program, so I put that in place.

So those three programs are our pillars right now.”

Through the OSU Community Music School, Blecha-Wells works to fulfill

MONDAY, DECEMBER 9, 2019

the vital role of music education for the community of Stillwater and the surrounding area at a comparably low tuition rate. They offer scholarships to students, often turning to fundraising to help students in need who want a musical education.

Jeffrey Loeffert, the Director of the Greenwood School of Music, which the Community Music School is housed under, said he admires Blecha-Wells’ initiative.

“The Community Music School offers a creative outlet and a learning outlet for many students who otherwise wouldn’t have access to that same level of instruction,” Loeffert said. “We’re a better community because of it, and consequently a better state. We’re better equipped to serve the people of Oklahoma.”

Distinguished music professors teach the students, who are given access to OSU facilities such as the McKnight Center.

Blecha-Wells’ hope is that the school will teach life skills and develop a love for music in the students.

That is already the case for Brian Harrison’s fifth grade daughter. Harrison said she once had no interest in the musical arts, but then a friend introduced her to the youth choir.

“One of her friends invited her to join this choir and it’s like, ‘Heck yes, I’m going to sign her up,’” Harrison said.

“Now that I’ve done that, she loves going to practice. She’s talking about wanting to be in the band or orchestra next year, and it has completely

flipped her perspective on music and what it can do.”

The youth choir is the oldest part of the OSU Community Music School.

Julia Haley, who is still the coordinator for the choir, started it in 1999. She said Blecha-Wells’ focus on bringing music education to underserved children is providing something essential to their development.

“I have a quote that I like to use, ‘The fact that children can make beautiful music is less significant than the fact that music can make beautiful children,’” Haley said. “Human beings all need the arts; they speak to us and teach us in different ways than some of the more academic subjects. A lot of research shows that the arts, experience in the arts, helps students achieve in all areas, in cognitive development, in physical development, everything.”

Scientific research supports this claim and provides a compelling argument for childhood music education.

Early musical experience increases the literacy, memory, fine motor skills, social skills and cognitive abilities of children in comparison to those who don’t have musical experience, according to a study from the Institute of Education at the University of London.

While Blecha-Wells is helping bring better music education and the benefits it provides to the Stillwater community, she also has her sights on bringing it to the developing world through a nonprofit organization she

OCOLLY.COM

started with her husband, the Global Pedagogy Initiative.

She said the focus of this organization is to establish music education programs for communities in developing countries that don’t have access to the level of education she was able to get.

“My thought is if you can go into these areas and teach the teachers how to teach and you can give them the skills,” Blecha-Wells said, “then they can pass it on to the next generation. So, that’s kind of like my inspiration, and I’ve experienced it in a number of ways.”

Her experiences include going to countries such as Haiti, Tanzania and Colombia to bring the curriculum needed in their communities. With plans to establish satellite music schools and a system to allow her to make remote Skype calls to teach lessons regularly, BlechaWells is bringing something to the children of developing countries that would be otherwise unlikely for them to experience. She said she wants to expand this initiative and include the Community Music School in its growth, with plans of having OSU students provide lessons.

“I think it’d be really great if we could have satellite programs, whether that be physically or doing more stuff online with Skype and such,” Blecha-Wells said. “I think that’d be really cool; we could get into those communities that just have no access to music education. Because I talk about the developing world, but there’s

so much of that in Oklahoma even; you don’t have to go far.”

Following Blecha-Wells’ vision into the future, the Oklahoma State Community Music School looks to continue to expand.

Although the need for more music education still exists in Oklahoma and globally, Blecha-Wells is doing everything she can to help her community.

“We’re just trying to be impactful in a way that really teaches the whole human being and teaches them these life skills,” Blecha-Wells said. “But also teaches them about compassion and gives them that sense of independence, autonomy, courage and strength. All those things that go well beyond just what we’re doing with teaching the technique.”

Rebounds, second-chance points allow Wichita State to storm past Cowboys H allie Hart C o - E dito r-in - C h ief @ hallieha rt

Mike Boynton sat with his arms folded in front of him and studied the paper that summarized the Oklahoma State men’s basketball team’s tough afternoon in GallagherIba Arena.

On that stat sheet, the numbers for rebounding and second-chance points told the story of the game before Boynton said anything in the press conference.

Wichita State showed no mercy on the glass, took advantage of second-chance shots and clobbered the Cowboys 80-61 on Sunday.

The Shockers outrebounded the Cowboys 42-31, and they outscored OSU in second-chance points 23-8.

“They pursued the basketball more aggressively than we did,” Boynton said.

“They brought the fight to us. We didn’t necessarily fight back strongly enough, and there’s the result.

There were several times early in the game where our guys were trying to slap at the ball, and their guys were going and grabbing it with two hands and … pursuing the ball with purpose.”

Sophomore guard Jamarius Burton set the tone for the Shockers’ relentless rebounding game with a game-high eight boards.

When WSU controlled possessions, it often fed the ball to freshman guard Tyson Etienne, whose 19 points led all scorers.

Etienne went 7-for14 from the field and made five of his eight 3-point shots.

Cameron McGriff, a Cowboy senior forward who had 10 points and a team-high seven rebounds, said Boynton’s postgame message to the team revolved around toughness.

“It’s just the will within,” McGriff said.

“We have a lot of talent and things like that, but we’ve got to show a little bit more grit.”

On the Cowboys’ first possession, McGriff awakened OSU fans with a two-handed dunk. With 11:44 until halftime, McGriff was flying to the hoop again, this time for an alley-oop with the assist from freshman point guard Avery Anderson.

The highlights weren’t enough to keep the Cowboys (7-2) afloat in the absence of starting point guard Isaac Likekele, who missed his second straight game because

of illness. Then they had to play without sophomore post Yor Anei, who fouled out with 10:19 left.

The Shockers (8-1) led 38-31 at halftime and inflated their advantage in the second half with support from a sizable fan presence.

The vocal pockets of Shocker fans made it seem as if WSU could have been the home team at times, continuing a “Defense, defense” chant late into the game.

In the second half, the Cowboys couldn’t hit a shot from the field until senior guard Lindy Waters III made a layup with 15:56 left.

Waters contributed a team-high 11 points, but OSU had its lowest-scoring game of the season.

As the Cowboys enter finals week, a stretch with no games, they have time to reflect on their struggles against WSU and implement changes.

“We just all understand that we’ve got to look in the mirror as far as why are things going this way,” McGriff said. “And definitely do some soul-searching over the next couple practices, which, they’re gonna be tough. We’re just gonna have to be ready to work.”
