SUMMARY: Norman petitioners have one day left to gather enough signatures for a controversial entertainment district vote. The city council previously voted 5-4 to advance the project. Organizers, led by Russell Rice, report an exhausting effort to collect the necessary 6,098 signatures during a 30-day petition drive. Despite challenges, they remain optimistic, emphasizing the need for community support to demonstrate public will for the $600 million project. With the deadline approaching, petitioners plan to continue their efforts outside Yellow Dog Coffee Company, seeking to maintain momentum and ensure their voices are heard before the vote.

SUMMARY: The Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association (OSSAA) voted 11-3 to implement a 35-second shot clock starting in the 2026-2027 season for Classes 3A to 6A high school basketball. Smaller schools in Classes 2A, A, and B may opt to use the shot clock in non-playoff games if both teams agree and NFHS approves. Some coaches, like Davis AD Jeff Brown, prefer the traditional game and worry about costs and logistics, while others, like former Davis assistant Stefan Hunt, support the change for faster, more exciting games. The shot clock was previously rejected by OSSAA in 2023 but is common in 30 states now.
