HUGO — A two-RBI single in the fourth by Hugo’s Trystunn Fleeks, put the Hugo Buffaloes on top of the Idabel Warriors Friday on their home field at Shull-Bywaters Park. Fleeks was joined by Landon Lemmons in blasting two hits apiece for the Buffaloes to lead Hugo’s hitters.

Ashton Barnett: “He’s been here four years, and he’s kind of our spark plug. He’s our lead off, he’s a center fielder, and he’s just a great talent. When he’s on, he’s one of the best in southeast Oklahoma, I believe, and he’s helped us quite a bit. He’s gotten on base quite a bit.”

Hugo: Elevation normal, water 66 and murky. White bass good on jigs, minnows and small lures below the dam, along creek channels and river channel. Blue, channel and flathead catfish good on chicken liver, cut bait, dough bait, live bait, punch bait, shad, stinkbait and sunfish below the dam, along channels, creek channels, main lake, river channel, shorelines and standing timber. Crappie excellent on jigs and minnows below the dam, around brush structure, channels, creek channels, main lake, river channel, shorelines and standing timer. Report submitted by Andrew Potter, game warden stationed in Choctaw County.
