Sports Cast for April 17th:
Joe Dan Osceola, former tribal president of the Seminole Tribe, remembered his days as QB of the Brahmans back in the 1950s. He said the town of Okeechobee has always been very important to the Seminoles. Osceola was also part of a state tournament basketball team during his high school career. He was all conference in football. He was the first Seminole to play football at OHS. He remembered one specific game on the gridiron. Osceola paved the way for many other great Seminole athletes to play at OHS and that tradition continues today. Brooke Snyder had three interceptions to lead the flag football team to a 26-6 road win at Fort Pierce Central last night. Okeechobee improved to 5-3 on the season.
Fort Pierce won in district softball last night so the Lady Cobras will meet the Lady Brahmans tonight at the district tournament in Okeechobee at 7 pm. Another semifinal between South Fork and Martin County begins at 5 pm at OHS.
