37 days away from kickoff..

Down 28-7 with under a minute to play in the first half, Tay Martin hauled in a TD catch with 37 seconds left before the break to spark a string of 30 straight points to lead the Cowboys to a thrilling 3️⃣7️⃣-35 victory over #5 Notre Dame.

Martin finished with three receiving TDS, while Brennan Presley led the way with 10 catches for 137 yards.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Staying Home. There’s something special about the home grown talent.

OSU softball and head coach Kenny Gajewski added one of those special talents to the incoming class this week with the signing of right-handed hurler Preslee Downing.

Downing joins the OSU freshman class of 2025 and will have four years of eligibility in Stillwater.

The Owasso, Okla., native is coming off a senior season in which she earned Tulsa World All-World Player of the Year honors after guiding the Rams to a state championship behind a 24-3 record in the circle with a 1.10 ERA and 261 strikeouts in 162.1 innings pitched.

A three-time 6A-1 District Pitcher of the Year and four-time regional champion, Downing boasts a 76-9 career record with a 1.11 ERA and 705 career strikeouts.

🔼 Finishing Strong. The summer may be a time that many of us use to kick back and relax.

OSU standout Lucy Darr fired the low score of the day in the final round of the Porter Cup to earn a runner-up finish.

First staged in 1959, the Porter Cup brings together some of the best amateur golfers in the world to compete for a weekend at the Niagara Falls Country Cup.

🔼 Helping Hands. Sure, there’s plenty of work being down on the court this summer from the OSU women’s hoops squad.

But that work doesn’t stop there as the Cowgirls recently spent time with the Stillwater Mobile Meals organization volunteering to put meals together for those in our community.

🎥 OSUMAX: THE WINNER’S CIRCLE

This past weekend, “Out Of Nowhere: The Barry Sanders Story” took home Heartland Regional Emmy for the best Sports Program Post-Produced or Edited. 

“This is such an incredible honor for our team at OSUMax and our partners at OSU Athletics. Our goal is always to be able to tell quality stories that impact our schools and communities and Barry did that and then some in Stillwater. This piece did a tremendous job of finding those connections and allowing folks behind the scenes of what was a legendary career for Barry,” Sport & Story President Victor Vitarelli said. “There were so many people that helped build the connections and allow our highly-talented crew in Jason Caroll and Joshua Cleary to tell a special story. We can’t wait to continue to tell more of these types of stories. 

“Out Of Nowhere: The Barry Sanders Story” relived the glory days of one of the greatest college football players in the game’s history, taking you through the recruitment and OSU career of Hall of Famer Barry Sanders. 

Hear from Barry, former players, former coaches and so much more as the original film takes you through an electric time in Stillwater.
