Doin' It On The Dailey
Garfield track succeeds at district meet
By Sonia Giebel
As most seniors and a few lucky underclassmen readied themselves for a Friday night of pictures and partying, other bulldogs were lacing up their track shoes for the district meet – and they certainly impressed.

A Bitter End To a Sweet Season
Garfield boys soccer advances to state tournament
By Sonia Giebel
The jerseys lay forgotten on the pitch and the tears began to flow; the boys soccer team lay dejected, disappointed after a first round 1-0 loss to Stadium High School. Their disappointment can only be expected – no one expected a first round loss for the bulldogs – not after an 11-3-3 record, a KingCo Championship and league, and a top ten state ranking. But this loss does in no way define this team; their season, the most successful in Garfield history, was simply remarkable.

Why I still love OKC
By Frankie Pavia
I was just as crushed as everyone else when Howard Schultz, Clay Bennett, David Stern, et al stole my beloved Supersonics away. They have been my favorite sports team ever since I sat through a 1995 earthquake watching a Sonics game, not even realizing that my surroundings were shaking like sumo wrestlers were stomping in my living room.

By Emma Baker, Paul Minor, Adam Stansell, Nick Thompson & Max David

Everyone Wants These Bulldogs
Garfield seniors prepare for college athletics
By Paul Minor
As the sunshine grows brighter and hotter each passing week, many students have nothing but summer on their mind. This is a bright and joyous time, but with the arrival of summer also comes the sad departure of many proud bulldogs.

POTI: Claire MillerShe squashes the competitionBy Paul MinorWhen I imagine two athletes trapped in a box, I think of two MMA fighters duking it out. When I imagine two athletes knocking balls with rackets I think of tennis. And for those athletes who want a bit of both, squash is the perfect combination.
