    One September 30, 2018 the online auction company Great Collections sold an elite set of Eisenhower Dollars. The sale was sponsored by Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS). The sale was billed as “I like Ikes”. T he prem ie r coi n of

    the auction was a 1973-S Eisenhower dollar in a very high grade. From 1971 to 1974 Eisenhower dollars struck at the San Francisco mint were produced with 40% silver. Likewise, the Bicentennial Ike dollars were produced in 40% silver. Each 40 percent Ike dollar yields .3162 ounce of silver. The

    40% silver dollars edge will appear white. Since these Ike dollars were produced for collectors they have been found in top grades. They tend to be more expensive in Mint State 68 and Mint State 69. The total mintage for 1973-S Ike dollars was 1,833,140 coins. Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) certified a

    1973-S as MS 69. Only two have attained this high grade (so far). It sold at auction for $4,050.Should anyone find one in grandpa’s collection call 405-

    222-8718. Thanks for reading.

    SWOSU Football alum Brad Smithey, now the offensive coordinator at Brazosport High School in Freeport, Texas, will lead the 2019 United States Under-16 Select Team against Mexico Norte, an Under-16 team of top players across northern Mexico, on January 11, 2019, during the 10th annual International Bowl Series at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas."I am extremely blessed with the opportunity to be the

    head coach of the USA Team," Smithey said. "I love everything that USA Football stands for and couldn't be more proud to be a part of their organization. It is an opportunity of a lifetime to be able to coach players from all over the nation to compete against another country. I love seeing the growth of football because it has given and taught me so much about life. I only hope I can impact and spread my wisdom to the athletes I will be coaching."Smithey played for the Bulldogs from 2010-14,

    concluding his career as one of the most prolific receiving threats at SWOSU in the NCAA era. He remains ranked fourth at SWOSU in receptions (14) and eighth in receiving yards (1,135) while also hauling in eight touchdown receptions as a Bulldog. A two-time All-Great American Conference selection, Smithey first joined the USA Football family in 2015 when he played for the U.S. Men's National Team, which earned the gold medal at the 2015 IFAF Senior World Championship in Canton, Ohio. He has since become a member of USA Football's Board of Directors, which helps steer the U.S. Olympic Committee-member organization. "The U.S. National Team program has always

    benefitted from the expertise and leadership of its coaches, and we're excited to have Coach Smithey lead

    SWOSU Alum Brad Smithey Selected for USA Football Head Coaching Position

    our student-athletes at this year's International Bowl," said Aaron Ingram, senior manager of U.S. National Teams for USA Football. "With experience of playing for our national team and winning a gold medal in 2015, he will have his team ready to compete and proudly represent our country. A tremendous football strategist, Coach Smithey welcomes the challenge Mexico Norte brings, which features some of the best high school-aged players in Mexico who love this sport as much as we do."

    Established in 2010, the International Bowl is the longest-running annual series of high school-aged international football teams. This year's event – International Bowl X – will convene 16 teams from three continents across four age divisions for two gamedays of global competition. U.S. National Teams are managed by USA Football, a member of the U.S. Olympic Committee and the sport's national governing body. All International Bowl games will be webcast live on ESPN3.

    SPORTS Presented by:Tucker Takes Down Another Record as Lady Bulldogs Roll Past SNU

    Doug SelfSWOSU Sports Information Director

    Hailey Tucker scored a game-high 25 points and became the Great American Conference's all-time leader in made free throws as she led the Lady Bulldogs to an 87-58 victory over Southern Nazarene on Saturday afternoon.SWOSU was in control from the outset, scoring the first

    five points and never looking back as they built a lead of 22-8 at the end of the first quarter. That lead soared as high as 27 in the first half after consecutive three-pointers from Tucker and Savannah Gray made it 43-16 late in the half. The Lady Dawgs took an advantage of 43-19 to the intermission, with Tucker matching the Crimson Storm's scoring output at the break.The Lady Bulldogs continued to control the game into

    the second half as their lead remained double digits the entire half. The Crimson Storm mustered a six-point run early in the third quarter but to no avail as SWOSU held strong ending the quarter with a 28 point lead at 69-41. The Lady Bulldogs cruised in the fourth quarter eventually extending their lead to 35 points in the final two minutes of the game. Tucker was 10-for-12 from the line, giving her 444

    made free throws in her career and surpassing A'ndrea Haney of Harding, who held the previous record with 435. Tucker has now broken two conference records this week, becoming the GAC's All-Time leading scorer on Monday

    and she ends the week with 1,845 career points, which is tied for second in school history with Valerie Fariss. In addition it to Tucker's strong performance, Hayden

    Priddy chipped in 13 points while Bethany Franks neared a double-double again with 10 points and eight rebounds while also recording three steals. In total, SWOSU had

    offensive contributions from 11-of-12 players who entered the game, including 29 points from players off the bench.The Lady Bulldogs, now 8-1, 3-0 GAC on the year, will

    focus on final examinations this week before returning to action next Saturday (Dec. 15), when they face Oklahoma Baptist at 1:00 pm inside the Pioneer Cellular Event Center.

    Bulldogs Upset Bid Denied Late by #5/6 Southern Nazarene

    SWOSU's contest with nationally-ranked Southern Nazarene on Saturday afternoon turned into an individual showdown between star point guards, with #5/6 SNU pulling away at the end for an 84-79 victory. The Bulldogs got a career-high 40 points from junior Tre

    Evans, who was near a double-double with nine rebounds as well. His counterpart from SNU, Micah Speight, answered with 30 points – including 28 in the second half – and spearheaded an 8-0 run for the Crimson Storm after the Bulldogs tied the game at 63-all with 7:07 to play. SWOSU trailed by as many as 15 in the middle portion

    of the second half before Jamar Sandifer spearheaded a 20-5 run that he capped off with a pair of free throws to tie the game at the 7:07 mark. SNU quickly answered, with Speight hitting a three and scoring five straight points before reigning GAC Player of the Year Jhonathan Dunn connected from long range to make it 71-63 with 4:44 to play. Down the stretch, SWOSU's offense sputtered, relying

    heavily on Evans to create for himself. He consistently got to the free throw in the final minutes, but was unable to get his team any closer than four points before SNU put

    the game away. Evans finished 13-of-25 from the field and 10-of-12 from the stripe, while dishing out two assists but committing six turnovers. Sandifer was SWOSU's only other player to score in double

    figures, finishing with 16 points and six rebounds while the rest of the starting lineup added just 14 points combined. Cheikh Fall hauled in a team-leading 10 rebounds, while Luke Lewallen chipped in with six points off the bench.

    Jim Morrison

    A few months ago a former SWOSU student sent a check with an accompanying note that simply said, “Expand the Kingdom.” I opened a special account, making sure that I did not get the money mixed up with my personal account. As special needs have developed in the community I have been able to meet some needs and do some things that I hope will be helpful in “expanding the Kingdom.” The question occurred to me, “what does it mean to expand the

    Kingdom? What is the Kingdom? Of course I knew my friend did not mean for me to advance my “personal” kingdom or my personal sphere of influence in a secular sense. He was referring to the rule and reign of God in the lives of people for whom Christ died. He was asking that I use the money to provide more resources or opportunities for people to hear the truth and come to a personal relationship with Christ as Lord. Also, it could be seen as enlarging the vision and passion for young believers to see themselves as servants of God, as salt and light in a dark world. As I pondered the question it came to my mind that we as

    believers should see all our resources as means by which the Kingdom of God grows in influence and power. Of course we are commanded to provide for our families but the provision often sought after becomes excess.This does not mean that we should never go on a vacation,

    buy nice clothes, or enjoy recreation. It is not a legalistic way of obeying certain rules in order to please the Father. But if all our resources are at God’s disposal; if we truly belong to him as his obedient servant, it should cause us to ask some tough questions about our indulgences, and desire for comfort and convenience. It is easy to justify any purchase, at least in our own minds. We

    can build a mansion and say, “God blessed me.” I’m not so sure it was God. The devil is quite happy that we divert large sums of money that could be used to “expand the Kingdom,” to fulfill our dreams, comfort and prestige. I’m sure this will not make me any friends, but I cannot

    understand why a mature believer would buy a new car or one of the luxury models. Can you honestly say, “This is to expand the kingdom?” Of course, if no one bought a new car, soon there would be no new cars to become used cars. But I’m sure there are enough secular people to maintain the line of used cars. I believe that Scriptures teach that a simple lifestyle that meets

    our needs and those of our family is preferred to indulging in every sale that comes along just because it is “on sale.” I challenge each of you as a believer in Christ, to become aware of the needs of reputable faith organizations and regulate your taste to give sacrificially to things that “expand the Kingdom” and provide a platform for the presentation of the love, goodness and grace of God. “Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t

    do it, sins.” James 4:17To comment: [email protected]

    WEEKLY NEWSBITESFIRE DEPT. CONTRACT APPROVED- The 2019

    Weatherford Fire Union Contract was approved by the Weatherford City Commission said Mayor Mike Brown.“The other thing that was brought up from us was to

    have a work in conjunction with the Union in creating an acceptable standard, including expectations, corrective measures, requirement for continued employment. Just making sure a fireman is still in shape and that they aren’t putting other firemen at risk over time. So that’s something they said they would work on putting that into place. This time there’s not any consequences from that.”Brown said the Union decided to keep the same work

    schedule rather than changing to a 3 platoon schedule.

    ANDERS WANTING TO LOWER SPEED LIMIT- Custer County Commissioner Wade Anders brought up discussion during the County Commissioners meeting of adjusting the speed limit on certain county roads. “I’d like for you guys to think about it and what we need to

    do is maybe lower it. Right now, our speed limit is 55mph, if it’s not marked otherwise. I’d like to see us go, to maybe, a 45mph unless otherwise marked.”Commissioners plan to discuss the possibility with the

    Assistant District Attorney. Anders said he would likely suggest keeping Arapaho Road at 55 miles per hour.

Like I said, he is retired and gone into another path in law enforcement, but I think it was a draw for him to come back and be more active in law enforcement than he was.”Rinkel succeeds long time Chief David Crabtree who

    retired last month.
