Sports Editor Rodney Haltom was all smiles after seeing McIntosh County Football Preview- the Gridiron Guide win first place at the Oklahoma Press Association Banquet Saturday night in Oklahoma City.

“It was a team effort. I couldn’t accomplish this without composer Wes Stout, the cooperation of the coaches and athletes and the staff at the Eufaula Indian Journal and McIntosh County Democrat,” Rodney Haltom said.

The judge’s comments were as follows: This was very nicely done. Previews, schedules, rosters, and profiles make it a keepsake for students and families.
