Ada’s Drake Kanuch – Athlete Spotlight
For Ada High School junior Kanuch, golf has grown from a childhood pastime into a defining part of who he is — both on and off the course. Kanuch began playing competitively at just eight years old, but it didn’t take long for him to realize the sport could be something more. Competing in tournaments against older, experienced players showed him early on that he could hold his own. That moment shifted his mindset, turning golf from a hobby into a serious pursuit.

Latta rallies past Colbert in Class 2A-I final for first OSSAA baseball title since 2005
SHAWNEE — Kaiden Goolsby more than redeemed himself. Pulled from the mound in the first inning, the junior starting pitcher delivered the go-ahead run in Latta’s 6-5 win against Colbert in the Class 2A-I state baseball championship game Saturday afternoon. “Not one pitch of that was easy,” Latta coach Dillon Atkinson said. “We got down going into the last inning, and we had guys step up.” Colbert, which led 3-0 after the first inning, took a 5-4 lead in the bottom of the sixth inning after No. 9 hitter Tucker Shields tripled and scored on a balk. The lead didn’t hold. Goolsby, after being roughed up on the mound, ripped a two-run single in the top of the seventh inning, scoring the tying and go-ahead runs. He tripled earlier in the game on a ball the Colbert right fielder misplayed.

Peyton Fjeldsted powers Preston past Tushka in 2A-II final for first OSSAA baseball title
SHAWNEE — Peyton Fjeldsted pulverized the pitch. The only question: fair or foul? The ball snuck inside the left-field pole for a grand slam. The next ball Fjeldsted hit left zero doubt. The junior designated hitter clobbered a three-run shot to left-center field. Fjeldsted’s pair of blasts, accounting for seven RBIs, propelled Preston past Tushka 13-7 in the Class 2A-II baseball state championship game on Saturday night in Shawnee. Fjeldsted did all of that damage in back-to-back innings — the grand slam in the fourth and the three-run homer in the fifth. More than 700 feet between them.
