2 Oklahoma State players die in crash
By Nick Wadhams
The Associated Press
BYERS, Colo. — Two Oklahoma
State basketball players and six
staffers and broadcasters associated
with the team were killed when
their plane crashed in a snowstorm
Saturday while returning from a
game in Colorado.
All 10 people aboard died, officials
said. The plane, one of three char
tered by the school, crashed about 40
miles east of Denver after taking off
from Jefferson County Airport.
“There’s luggage and parts of
seats and pieces of clothing. Every
thing that would be on an airplane
was scattered and shattered,” police
Sgt. Craig Coleman said. “It is very
gruesome.”
Wreckage was strewn over about
a quarter of a mile. A team of Na
tional Transportation Safety Board
investigators was to arrive Sunday.
The school said the 10 people
killed were: Oklahoma State players
Nate Fleming and Dan Lawson,
sports information employee Will
Hancock, director of basketball oper
ations Pat Noyes, trainer Brian Luin
stra, student manager Jared Weiberg,
broadcast engineer Kendall Durfey,
broadcaster Bill Teegins, pilot Denver
Mills and co-pilot Bjorn Falistrom.
“The players are handling this
with each other and obviously are
grieving very deeply,” Oklahoma
State sports information director
Steve Buzzard said during a news
conference in Stillwater.
Buzzard said coach Eddie Sutton
called the families of those who died.
Big 12 officials were to meet Sun
day to discuss whether to postpone
Oklahoma State’s Tuesday night
game at Texas Tech. Weiberg was
the nephew of Big 12 commissioner
Kevin Weiberg.
“This is indeed a very sad day for
Oklahoma State University,” school
president James Halligan said.
The Beechcraft King Air 200 Cat
pass, which seats 11 passengers,
crashed at about 5:35 p.m., said Jer
ry Snyder, a spokesman for the Fed
eral Aviation Administration.
“All we heard was a real loud en
gine sound. It sounded like a shrill
noise. Then I saw a big fireball,”
said Larry Pearson, a dairy farmer
who was working outside when the
plane crashed.
Pearson, who was about a quarter
mile from the plane when it
crashed, said he called 911 and cut a
fence so emergency vehicles could
reach the crash site.
The King Air 200 turboprop
would be “less prone to get above
the weather” than the other two
planes the teamchartered, which
were corporate jets, Stillwater air
port manager Gary Johnson said.
NTSB investigator Arnold Scott
said no flight-data recorders were
found Saturday night.
Women’s
continued from page 5
the floor, while the Ducks hit near
ly 36 percent of their shots.
“Our defense really stepped it
up in the second half, and they
couldn’t get any open looks,” jun
ior guard Jamie Craighead said.
Taking care of the ball has been
a problem for Oregon recently. Fol
lowing a 25-turnover performance
Thursday, the Ducks handed over
another 23 to UCLA on Saturday.
But the freebies were falling Sat
urday. After a woeful 16-for-32
performance at the free-throw line
against USC, the Ducks shot 74
percent at the charity stripe (14
for-19) Saturday.
“Hopefully, we’re only going up
from here,” said Meharry, who had
a game-high nine rebounds while
adding eight points.
“I think we’re on the right track
... and tonight could be the turn
ing point.”
Pez Sez
continued from page 5
sey Dion walked into Mac Court’s
media room, bowed her head and
told reporters that she didn’t have
confidence in herself when she
missed three late-game shots.
Ducks head coach Jody Runge
knew there was a problem coming
into Saturday’s matchup, compar
ing her team’s current funk to a
three-game road losing skid during
the nonconference schedule.
But they’ve said it all season, and
they showed it on Saturday: You
can’t keep a good Duck down.
Not point guard Kourtney
Shreve, who was the straw in
breaking UCLA’s back before leav
ing the game in the second half
with a mild concussion.
Not center Jenny Mowe, who
grabbed seven rebounds and
blocked three shots while clogging
up the Bruins’ inside offense. Or
freshman forward Cathrine
Kraayeveld, who overshadowed
poor shooting by getting six boards
and initiating defensive stops and
UCLA turnovers.
Senior forward Angelina Wolvert,
playing for the first time since injur
ing her left knee against Washington
Jan. 18, returned to the lineup earlier
than anyone predicted.
“I think we’re going to be fine,”
said Wolvert, who quietly recorded
seven points, three rebounds and a
steal in 17 minutes. “A couple peo
ple had to work on their confidence,
and I think they came back just fine. ”
Runge said Wolvert’s presence
was a shot in the arm for the lately
lethargic Ducks.
“It’s very important emotionally
for this team that she’s back on the
floor and back on the mend,”
Runge said.
Oregon’s character will be put to
the test again next Thursday. The
Ducks take on Arizona, then Ari
zona State on Saturday, in what
Runge said will be the toughest
road trip of the season.
The regrouping Ducks say they
are ready.
“We’re looking forward to the
challenge,” Wolvert said. “We need
something to fire us up and I think
this trip is going to do it. ”
Fittingly, Oregon was struggling
with its confidence toward the end
of last season after losing at home to
USC, when it traveled to the desert to
take on the Arizona schools.
The result was a thrilling victory
over the Wildcats — one of the cra
ziest comeback wins in Oregon
women’s basketball history — and
an eventual, outright Pac-10 title.
