PATRIOT DAY AND NATIONAL DAY OF SERVICE AND REMEMBRANCE – September 11
Former President George W. Bush made this statement on our first anniversary of Patriot Day and his words are still fitting 22 years later.
MAY WE NEVER FORGET!
"...We remember and honor those who perished in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. We will not forget the events of that terrible morning nor will we forget how Americans responded in New York City, at the Pentagon, and in the skies over Pennsylvania — with heroism and selflessness; with compassion and courage; and with prayer and hope. We will always remember our collective obligation to ensure that justice is done, that freedom prevails, and that the principles upon which our Nation was founded endure." ~George W. Bush, Proclamation, Patriot Day, 2002

Wolves edge out win over Indians
By CRAIG HALL
When one talks about Heavener’s football team, the praise usually goes to the offense.
And rightly so. The Wolves have an explosive offense and several weapons.
The Heavener defense has not been in the same discussion. That changed in Thursday’s opener against Pocola.
After being torched for 32 points in the first half, the Wolves’ defense blanked the Indians in the second half and broke a two-game losing streak against the Indians with a 33-32 win in the brutal heat at Harvey Stadium.
The Wolves scored the only touchdown in the second half to take the lead and got three turnovers by the Indians, including two interceptions by senior Jackson Clubb. Heavener also recovered a fumble with just over 2 minutes remaining that allowed the Wolves to run out the clock for their first win in a season-opener since a victory over North Rock Creek in 2020.
Heavener will not get to enjoy its biggest win in several years long as the Wolves are at home again next week against Central Sallisaw.
Pocola had scored a combined 105 points in wins over the Wolves in the previous two seasons, then used big play after big play to speed away to a 32-27 lead at halftime before that offense came up empty in the second half.
The Indians, expected to be one of the main threats to win its district, gets to play against Hackett, Arkansas next week.
