Thanks, Coach Randall!

Oct 22, 2014

Coach Archie Randall from Oklahoma City University hosted a free two-day wrestling clinic for OKCPS student-athletes. Coach Randall worked with 44 athletes from Southeast High School, Capitol Hill High School, and US Grant High School. This group included both male and female wrestlers. Coach Randall is the head coach at OCU as well as a national level wrestling coach. Coach Randall decided to host this clinic for the students after working with the coaches at the annual Coaches Clinic that Fields & Futures hosted in August. It’s wonderful to have local universities and coaches who continue to support OKCPS Athletics.

What Drives Capitol Hill and U.S. Grant Football?

U.S. Grant and Capitol Hill may be rivals, but their football programs have more in common than their annual "Southside Bedlam" rivalry game. From 2014-2020, the OSSAA allowed both programs to play as independents so they could create their own schedules and rebuild their programs. Now playing in Class 6A, neither team has found success in district play, but they also know the scoreboard isn't the only standard of success.
