Tribute to a Heavener Star

In the past couple of weeks I have attended two Oklahoma High School Basketball "All State" games. The first was held on the campus of Oklahoma Baptist University at Shawnee and was sponsored by the Oklahoma High School Coaches Association and the second was played at Oklahoma Wesleyan Univesity at Bartlesville and was the Oklahoma Indian "All-State" Game. I attended these games because our grandson Josh Stevens had been selected to play in both games but I new from reading the Ledger that a student athlete from Heavener named Michael Moholt had also been selected to play in the games. When we arived at the gym for the game at Shawnee my Grandson pointed out a young man there that was wearing a "t-shirt" with Heavener Wolves on the front of it. I assumed that it was Michael Moholt and introduced myself to him and that is who it was. He was very polite and said that he was glad to meet me. Later as I sat in the stands waiting for the game to start a man came up to me at said "Michael Moholt " pointed you out to me and said you attended school at Heavener. This man was Bobby "Jelly" Mead. Jelly pointed out to me someother Heavnerites seated just down the way a bit and told me that they were Chock Manley and his family and that Chock was Michael's grandfather. Attending the game with me were my wife Peggy and her sister Judy and their brother Terry and his wife Cindy (all from Heavener too, of course), so we had our own little re-union and then settled in to watch the game. Michael is a very good basketball player (of course he is or he would not be playing in the "All-State" game. He played well on both offense and defence. He is only a little over six foot tall but held is own amongst the much taller players
