The Greenfield-Northwestern football team will be returning one of the most experienced backfields in the area. Seniors Jacob Lansaw and Denver Davenport will have the chance to play out their last six games during this spring season.
The two combined for 21 total touchdowns during their junior seasons as the Tigers (8-3) made the playoffs for the sixth time in the past seven years, falling to Arcola 23-14 in the second round of the IHSA playoffs.
Head coach Joe Pembrook, who is in his ninth season in charge, said those two seniors, plus the rest of the senior class, have made it a little easier for the Tigers to get back into football during the pandemic.
City of Vinita
The Vinita City Council voted Tuesday night to approve a mandatory mask ordinance similar to the ones adopted by Tulsa, Jenks, and other Green Country municipalities meant to help slow the spread of the novel coronavirus.
According to the Oklahoma State Medical Association, which supports mask mandates on both the local and state levels, Vinita is now one of at least 33 municipalities in the state to have enacted such an ordinance.
Dr. Terry Horton said Vinita s Saint Francis Hospital was struggling under the weight of the pandemic. Sometimes when you re watching TV you have a little trouble believing that things are as bad as you hear. I just wanted to make sure that everybody understands that it is as bad as you hear, Horton said.
