Stidham Redhawks fly away with another State Championship
By RODNEY HALTOM SPORTS EDITOR page B1,

The Stidham Redhawks did it again as they added another state championship to their trophy case. Head coach Dane Yandell has continued to build a basketball dynasty at Stidham. Yandell led Stidham to a 49-21 victory in the championship game after rolling over Shady Grove 5527 in the semifinals.

“Winning the state championship is a goal that takes a tremendous amount of commitment, hard work and dedication. Stidham School prides itself in working hard from an early age to develop players that can perform at a high level. This championship is a reflection of just that.

These boys have put in countless hours of practice and hard work. I am extremely proud of them. It’s a great day to be a Redhawk,” Head coach Dane Yandell said. This is Yandell’s eighth year as head coach and his fourth State Championship at Stidham.

Other accolades included three players named to the All-Tourfrom nament team in Tandon Yandell and Luke Lambert and voted most valuable player was Thadan Yandell. Ashtyn Harjo was named to the Girls All-Tournament team.
