Quote of the Day 4/13/2015

“Many communities compete with each other and it comes from the Friday night high school sports. The three main cities here (Weatherford, Clinton and Elk City) all compete in the same high school class in football, basketball and baseball, so that was a barrier. Their competitive nature came through.”
