Steve Lowe embarks upon his second season as head coach of the Murray State College women's basketball team in 2020-21. The '19 - ‘20 Aggies averaged 75.6 points per game, with five players shooting 35% or better from the three-point line. Under Lowe, the Aggies topped all NJCAA DI teams in threes per game (10.8) and made threes in a season (357). Alaijah Stewart was a Top 50 NJCAA Freshman All-Star, 2nd in the nation in total three-point field goals made on the season, and tied for 2nd in the nation in three-point field goals per game. As a freshman, Jillian Ingram was the All-Tournament Team MVP. In his first year at the MSC helm, Lowe and the Aggies went on a 10-game winning streak, which lead to an overall record of 21-12 and winning the Region II title. Lowe spent the previous five seasons (2014-19) as an assistant coach at the University of Portland. "Steve will bring to MSC great experience as a recruiter and teacher of the game,” Justin Cellum, Assistant V.P. for Business Affairs and former head coach, said at the time of Lowe's hiring. “The campus and community will enjoy watching our team under his leadership.” While at Portland, Lowe helped coach three second-team all-conference players, three honorable mention players, one freshman all-conference player and four first-team all-academic players. "I'm very blessed to be able to take over the program at Murray State College,” Lowe said at the time of his hiring. “I'm excited for the opportunity to continue what Coach Cellum has established. My vision is to build a culture of hard-working, respectful and disciplined student athletes who believe in being the best they can be every day on and off the floor.” Lowe spent three seasons (2011-14) at Eastern Washington in Cheney where he helped guide the Eagles to a WNIT berth and a combined 51 wins in three years. Under Lowe's watch, the Eagles landed a conference MVP honor, two first-team all-conference selections and a Big Sky Freshman of the Year. Prior to his stint in Cheney, Lowe spent three years as an assistant coach for the women's basketball program at Cameron University in Lawton, Oklahoma. Lowe helped the Aggies double their win total and excel in the classroom. During Lowe's three years on the staff, the team GPA improved from a 2.5 to 3.4. Lowe's first collegiate coaching experience came at Bellevue Community College where he helped take the team from a 4-22 mark during their first season to a remarkable 26-5 record in 2007. He helped lead the squad to a second-place finish in the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NWAACC) in 2007 and the team claimed a pair of North Division regular-season titles. Lowe is a 2001 graduate of Central Washington University, having earned his bachelor's degree in special education. He earned his master's degree in technological education from Walden University. Lowe and his wife, Brianne, have two daughters, Harper and Kiernan, and a son, Gunnar.

Ardmore's Ricky Smith Junior wrapped up his senior season in dominating fashion, bringing home four gold medals in the the OSSAA Class 5A State Track Meet. “It's a killer mindset at the end of the day when you step on this track because the winner wins and the losers lose,” said Smith. Smith won the boys 100m and 200m run, as well as the long jump and 4x100m relay. Smith credits his success from a combination of hard work and dedication paying off in the end. ”Sometimes you get people that lead by example,” said Bell. “Sometimes you get people that lead by what they say. Sometimes you get them through character and he did all of that for us.” ”Whatever I want to do, I want to be the best at,” said Smith. “Whether that's physical therapy, going into college, or whether that's track. I want to push myself to be the best. Honestly it's just the killer mindset I was born with.” Thank you for listening to my interview with Ricky Smith.

In today world many people are spending more time at home cooking for their family. Today on the Traffic Jam with Cedric Bailey we talked about the importance of cooking with June Fair Harris Robinson. According to June her mother and grandmother really can cook and they past down the skills to June, Sharon and Beverly while growing up in Stonewall Oklahoma. Today June has pass this on to her children as well. There are two important factors to consider when deciding which tasks your child is able to perform in the kitchen: their physical ability to do the task and their mental ability to comprehend the task and, in particular, the possible dangers involved. Young children will not have the strength to lift pots and pans or to cut through dense foods like potatoes, but they also may not know that hot foods can burn them or that knives are dangerous. Younger kids also may have trouble remembering a series of steps that need to be followed, so you can help them by breaking down a task step by step as they go along. They definitely need to show that they can follow directions before you let them handle dangerous equipment. You know your child better than anyone, but here are some tips for helping them get acquainted with the kitchen so that they can become proficient. It is important that your kids master each level before going on to more technical cooking activities. Thanks for listening to this podcast and remember to list to the Traffic Jam with Cedric Bailey daily at www.musicalsoulfood.com Be sure to pick up June Fair Harris Robinson book as well. varsitydreamsbooks.com

June Fair Harris Robinson was born into poverty at Valley View Hospital in Ada, Oklahoma during the late 1950's. June, being the 5th of 8 children was the 1st of her siblings born in a hospital setting. Until 1971 her family lived in an old uninsulated dilapidated shack that had no indoor plumbing. Winters were cold and summers were hot. Government-issued commodities were their primary source for meals during those years of lack. June grew up in the small town of Stonewall, Oklahoma where she attended integrated public schools. June's parents attended segregated schools and both received a 10th grade education. June's father worked as a service station attendant and her mother initially worked as a dishwasher and later a cook. After graduating from high school, June became a 1st generation college student after receiving financial assistance from a generous donor who lived in her hometown. Through God's grace, the trajectory of June's life changed. Statistics had already predicted she wouldn't graduate from high school. June received her Bachelor of Science in Education degree in 1983 from East Central University in Ada, Oklahoma and followed a career path to Wichita, Kansas where she worked with Special Needs students, In 1987, June changed careers and began working for Sedgwick County Department of Corrections at Judge James Riddel Boys Ranch in Goddard, Ks. June found her niche in working with male juvenile offenders. In her years of work it became apparent that her students had taught her so much. She learned compassion and mercy on another level. She learned to think outside the box. She discovered the effectiveness and value of building healthy relationships. June retired in 2016, as Corrections Shift Supervisor. Writing has always been a type of therapy for June. It was something that came natural to her. She began writing her 1st book in 1995 but lacked the confidence to seek out publication. In 2007 she began writing again and became a published author in 2010 after completing Book 1, Varsity Dreams. Varsity Dreams is a children's book for 3rd grade students and above. June's character, Jimmy Jenkins is a gifted basketball player in need of a pair of basketball shoes. His family cannot afford to buy him a pair. The book vividly describes some of the challenges faced by children living in poverty. So often, children living in poverty are left trying to solve the problems of meeting basic needs. In 2020, June completed Cattle on a Thousand Hills which is the sequel to Varsity Dreams. June's character, Jimmy Jenkins continues his journey through a maze of interpretation in Book 2. Through it all he comes to understand that his Varsity Dreams came to fruition through Cattle on a Thousand Hills. June resides in Wichita, Kansas with her husband Ronald Robinson. June's 3 adult children, Lance (Alexandria), Jordan (Marissa) and Lindsay Harris also reside in Wichita along with her seven grandchildren, Mariah, Michael, Lincoln, Londyn, Lane, Mason and Landan Harris.

TED & SHERI After a dozen year hiatus, one of gospel music's most legendary duos, Ted & Sheri – Ted Winn and Sheri Jones-Moffet, are back together again! The Stellar Gospel Music Award winning pair has teamed up with the dazzling GRAMMY® Award nominated foursome, The Walls Group. The blend of their respective Memphis and Houston church-trained voices is nothing short of magical on the soulful retro-styled, feel-good groove, “Now I Know” (Ted & Sheri, LLC / Black Smoke). The Memphis-reared duo of Ted & Sheri first hit the national stage in 2001 with the release of the independent album, The Healing Starts Right There (Church Howze), which earned them two Stellar Gospel Music Awards. The project featured the fan favorites, “Come Ye Disconsolate,” a remake of Andrae Crouch's classic “I'll Be Thinking of You,” and the acapella tune, “Thank Him.” Their 2004 sophomore album, Celebrate, featured the Billboard Top 5 title-cut that was written for them by Donald Lawrence. The cut, “God Will Take Care,” was featured on the platinum-selling project, WOW Gospel 2005. By the end of the decade, they had amicably pursued solo careers. Sheri went on to lead “Encourage Yourself” by Donald Lawrence & the Tri-City Singers on their Billboard No. 1 smash, “Encourage Yourself,” in 2007. She followed with two solo albums for EMI Gospel / Motown Gospel that birthed radio singles such as “Shine” and “Faith to Believe.” Her debut set, Renewed (Motown Gospel) earned her a GRAMMY® Award nomination for Best Contemporary R&B Gospel Album in 2009. Ted launched his own recording label, Teddy's Jamz, in 2009. His solo debut album, Balance (Teddy's Jamz), appeared soon after with radio hits such as “God Believes in You,” “Moving Forward,” and the Top Ten smash, “The Lifter.” His 2017 album, Stand in Awe (Teddy's Jamz), featured four radio singles, including the Top 10 smash, “Grateful,” which featured the dynamic vocals of song stylist, Maranda Curtis. In 2021, Ted & Sheri reunited to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their first release last year by partnering with Black Smoke Music Worldwide to release their first album in nearly two decades. The music video for their first offering, “God Can Heal It,” has racked up over a half million YouTube views. Their as yet untitled album will release later in 2022.

Story by the Ardmoreite: Drew Butler The community gathered at Noble Stadium on Thursday evening to reflect on the losses of the past year while also looking forward to the future at Night of Healing. The evening included inspirational music from Equip Life Music Ministry and a solo performance from Susan Pfau Yeager as well as an inspirational message from Pastor Artie Farve and Pastor and City Commissioner John Credle. One of the highlights, however, came when Allen Benson shared his story of surviving COVID. Benson, a native Ardmoreite and graduate of Ardmore High School, pointed out that COVID does not care who you are or what your history may be. While at AHS, he played football and later went on to Oklahoma State University where he was starting linebacker for his junior and senior years. After college he went on to work at Michelin for 37 years as well as run his own yard service. As he phrased it during his speech, COVID looked at all of those things and said, “so what?” “I was in the hospital for six days,” Benson said. “I couldn't breathe. I was so weak that I ran out of energy in the shower. The first time I got the chance for a shower, I had to sit down. That's how weak I was. I took two transfusions to bring be back. I lost about 30 pounds – which I did have to lose, but I didn't want to lose it that way.” He noted that the isolation of being in the COVID unit took it's toll. But he was able to make it through with the help of Christ. “When you're isolated and your loved ones are not around you, who is there with you,” he asked. “Jesus was there with me every step of the way. I could feel him holding my hand. The thing I wanted to know was what can I do to help this along. I know God doesn't need my help, but it was mostly for me and my family.” Benson eventually recovered as did his family members who also had the virus. He offered some closing advice to anyone dealing with the virus – or any of life's other problems. “Don't ever give up,” Benson said. “Fight to the end. And when God stepped in, God said that's my child. Leave him alone. And I'm still here today.”
