Running back Jimmy Smith said the session had a strong impact on the kids.

Registration is open for the SoonerSafe program that helps Broken Arrow homeowners install storm shelters if they own both their home and land in eligible counties.

Broken Arrow representatives McKenzie Mathurin and Macy Marriccini were named to the OCA All-State Large East girls basketball team—Fort Gibson's Laynee Stanley and Addy Whiteley also earned spots.
