We have a good group of seniors this year. Sutton Titsworth (leading scorer from last year), Alex Winter (leading rebounder), Daniel Kravchuk, Dusty Campbell and Parker Bishop have been with us since 7th grade. Skyler Scott moved here in 9th grade and Jadon Scroggs in 10th. These seniors provide a lot of experience and leadership and will probably see the majority of playing time. Our juniors are Charles Ware (2nd leading scorer last year), Tristin Glisson and Ryder Goodwin. Charles starts for us again this year. Tristin and Ryder could also contribute throughout the season. We have several sophomores that are still learning the system, but have a lot of potential. We believe that we will be able to compete with everyone on our schedule. Our team motto is “play hard, play smart and play together”. We believe if we do this, we will be successful.

The Bristow Lady Pirates return a lot of talent from last year's team as well as two new players that are expected to make a big impact on this year's team. The team will be led by four seniors (Camille Pritchard, Molly Gill, Jenna Stapleton, and Chelsy Livesay). Newcomer Amari Echols is our only junior and will be one of our top scorers this year. We have a talented group of sophomores, 3 of which started for us last year as freshmen (Addi Alexander, Ava Yocham, Abby Morgan, Akiyah Rolland, ShaLyn Edmondson, Cheyenne Roebuck). Last year we finished 3rd in the conference and we were one game away from the area tournament. This year we would like to improve on that and finish on top of the conference, make it to the area tournament, and have a chance to make it to the state tournament.

The Bristow Pirate Wrestling team is off to a great season. With a mix of seasoned and non seasoned players, the team has set goals of certain expectations that each player brings to the team. For the remaining seniors, this will be their last season.

Bristow Varsity Cheer has had a very successful competitive season this fall. They won Regionals for the first time in 6 years, and they placed 4th at State in the OSSAA Cheerleading State Championship Competition this past September. In November, they were one of the top 16 teams out of 42 in 4a to qualify for the OSSAA Cheerleading Game Day State Championship Competition. They have enjoyed cheering on the varsity football team all the way to the second round of playoffs. Now we are looking forward to cheering on the basketball and wrestling teams to successful seasons as well.
