The Seminole State College men’s and women’s golf teams are gearing up for an exciting spring season, and the community is invited to support their journey at the SSC Golf Fundraising Tournament on March 1, at the Jimmie Austin Golf Course in Seminole.
The tournament will feature a 4-person scramble format with a $100 per person entry fee, covering the green fee, cart, and lunch. Registration begins at 8:00 a.m., with a shotgun start at 9:00 a.m. Participants will also have a chance to purchase $5 mulligans and compete for awards, including prizes for top-finishing teams, closest to the pin on holes 8 and 13, and longest drive on hole 2. All proceeds from the event will directly benefit the SSC men’s and women’s golf teams.
Head Coach Ronnie Williamson expressed his enthusiasm for both the fundraiser and the upcoming season.
“I’m really excited about the spring season for both our men’s and women’s teams,” Williamson said. “We have a talented group of student-athletes who have been working hard, and I can’t wait for them to showcase their skills in competition.”
Following the fundraiser, the Trojans will officially kick off their spring season from March 9-13 in Wichita, Kansas. The men’s team, in particular, is coming off a historic year, highlighted by Carson Newton becoming the first All-American golfer in Seminole State College history. Newton secured a ninth-place finish at the Division II NJCAA Golf National Tournament in May 2024.
Community members and golf enthusiasts are encouraged to come out and support SSC golf at this fundraising event. For more information or to register a team, contact Ronnie Williamson at (405) 380-2867 or r.williamson@sscok.edu.
The Seminole State College Trojans baseball team is set to take the field at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark in Oklahoma City for the first-ever Battle at Bricktown on Saturday, March 1. The Trojans will face off against the Rose State College Raiders in a doubleheader, with games scheduled for 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Admission to the event is free for all attendees.
This special event, made possible through a partnership between Seminole State College, Rose State College, and Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark, offers a unique opportunity for players and fans alike. The ballpark, home to the Oklahoma City Comets, the Triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers, provides a professional setting that enhances the experience for student-athletes.
SSC Baseball Head Coach Mack Chambers is excited about what the event represents for the program and the community.
“This is an incredible opportunity for our players,” Chambers said. “They get the chance to compete in a big setting, something akin to the JUCO World Series. It’s also a great opportunity for our community and fans to see excellent baseball at a stadium where pros play.”
As of the latest standings, the Trojans hold a 7-4 record, while the Raiders stand at 5-7. Both teams will look to add key wins as they battle in one of the top ballparks in the state.
Chambers hopes the Battle at Bricktown will become an annual showcase, providing a high-profile stage for NJCAA baseball and strengthening the rivalry between the two programs.
