BAHS student trainers get scholarships

Casey Paulk doesn’t have “coach” as his title.
But, he does have a “team” at Broken Arrow High School.
A certified athletic trainer, Paulk coaches youngsters – in all sports at BAHS.
The 27-year-old Paulk tutors a dozen youngsters in his program.
And, like many of the BAHS coaches, Paulk faces a rebuilding program after four of his
proteges graduated last week.
Jim Bui, Jasmine Weir, Jade Zoller and Allye Evans had a combined 10 years experience
under Paulk.
“That’s a lot of time given by these young people,” Paulk said. “They will be hard to replace.”
All four, however, are taking their abilities to the next level. Bui and Evans are going to
Southwestern State University in Weatherford. Weir and Zoller are bound for Northeastern
A&M in Miami.
“I couldn’t be prouder,” Paulk said. “Their scholarships are rewards for the their dedication
and hard work.”
Bui and Weir were three-year products under Paulk and Trey Robertson, now head trainer
at Claremore High School.
Paulk called Bui “passionate about learning everything he can about athletic training. This
is what he wants to do for a living.”
Bui – named Oklahoma Athletic Trainers Association All-State – worked the BAHS cross
country teams the last two years “without me asking him to do it,” Paulk said.
Weir, Paulk said, was “a great leader for our younger students and respected by the
players and coaches. She was calm under pressure and knew how to handle any situation.”
Zoller found her niche in just two years. “Jade was very skilled in taping techniques, first aid
and wound care. She put athletic training first before her other job and managed to balance
them nicely.”
For Evans, the extended hours weren’t a factor. “Allye didn’t mind the hours or the extra
work,” Paulk said. “In her two years, she made great strides and will only get better.”

Rain delays locker room progress
Time running short before occupancy needed

Broken Arrow High School football
might be counting the days.
It’s two months – and one day – when
the Tigers are expected to occupy
their locker room at Memorial Stadium.
But, Scott Six never dreamed he
would be counting raindrops in July.
Six is job foreman for Atlas General
Contractors, which is erecting the
facility, and the Sept. 15 target date
for completion looms large.
A Broken Arrow resident, Six is
keeping a wary eye on the sky these
days and might be keeping his
fingers crossed.
“Who’d expect it to rain like this in
July,” Six said, while giving a indoor
tour Monday. “We’re still shooting for Sept. 15. But this rain is making it a bigger challenge.”
Construction was halted 46 days in January and February by rain and snow.
Workers have tried to block Mother Nature the best they can by draping plastic sheets over
window openings.
Still, time is spent removing water that gathers on the floors.
Six said that problem should be remedied this week when all the windows on the two-story
structure are installed.
Another giant step forward could occur in the next 10 days when permanent power is
contacted to the building.
“Once we get the windows and air conditioning, that will help keep things dried out,” Six said.
In the meantime, dry walling and preparing the floor for finishing are going at a brisk pace,
Six said.
BAHS football coach Steve Spavital, guided Jim R. Boze and Kelli Sowell, the president and
vice-president, respectfully, of Arkansas Valley Bank, through the multipurpose facility.
“Every time I come through this place, I get more excited,” Spavital said. “It just gets better
and better.”
Spavital, the BAHS assistant athletic director, had instrumental input into the project.
“It’s going to be very nice,” Spavital said.
When completed, the facility – which sets beyond the south endzone – will house a locker
room for “140 to 150 players,” BAHS Athletic Director Ken Ellett said.
Ellett has kept an eagle eye on the progress.
“This is going to be outstanding,” Ellett said. “From the first day they moved dirt to now,
they have come a long way.”
Also included will be training room, meeting rooms and coaches offices on the first floor.
Each floor, Six said, will be about 15,000 square feet.
The upper level, which will not be finished this fall as planned, eventually will be the BAHS
athletic offices.
A full-length indoor practice facility, which will be used by football, soccer, band and other
activities, will be attached to the locker room.
Once football – which dresses in Tiger Fieldhouse – has moved to the stadium, plans are
enlarge dressing and training areas for basketball, wrestling and volleyball.
Ellett hopes a timeline for those projects can be finalized in August.
