Junior high hoops are humming in Purcell tonight, the gyms still buzzing like freshly-warmed hardwood.
Purcell took 3 of 4 games, each one its own little saga. The 7th grade Lady Dragons battled to the edge of the clock, falling by a single point in the final breaths. The 8th grade Lady Dragons answered with a 30–24 overtime triumph against Washington, stretching the game and their grit a little further than anyone expected.
On the boys’ side, both the 7th and 8th grade Dragon men rolled to wins over Chickasha, stacking confident possessions and steady defense into back-to-back victories.
The season is officially in full force, and these Dragons are already writing chapters worth cheering for. 🐉🏀
Stay tuned for updates on game times and opponents for Thursday

“Purcell junior high athletes are building more than a season—they’re building habits that last a lifetime. Inside our Dragon gyms, every sprint, every challenge, and every moment of hard work is shaping leaders who show up with heart, hustle, and pride. These student-athletes learn to lift each other up, push through tough days, and chase improvement one rep at a time. This is where confidence grows, character is built, and the future of Purcell athletics learns to rise together.”
JH Basketball kicks off their seasons with the Conference tournament, November 10-13.
The boys will play in Bridge Creek and the girls will play in Lindsay.

Dear Purcell school families:
We know many families in our community count on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits (SNAP) to provide meals for their families. Unfortunately, due to the federal government shutdown, SNAP benefits will likely be temporarily interrupted, beginning Nov. 1. We understand this disruption may cause uncertainty, worry, and financial burden for some members of our school family.
Please know those impacted are not alone; we’re here to help. We hope the following information will be beneficial to those facing difficulty during this challenging time:
Students will continue to receive breakfast and lunch at school, based on their current eligibility status. If a family’s financial circumstances have changed for any reason, including government furloughs, parents can apply or update their free or reduced-price meal application by visiting our website at www.purcellps.org
Parents can dial 211 on their phones to receive additional information about food banks, pantries, and other community support programs across Oklahoma. Please contact Malia Turner turnerm@purcellps.org, School-Based Family Specialist, at 405-442-0099 for support in locating resources.
Our school team stands ready to support anyone with questions or specific needs. Please contact your child’s school office if we can assist your family.
Oklahomans can learn more about how the government shutdown will affect SNAP benefits by visiting the Department of Human Services' FAQ webpage. Those who need assistance and those who would like to support their fellow Oklahomans can find additional resources on the DHS “Be a Neighbor” webpage.
Although this situation is beyond our control, we can decide how to care for one another. Our school team is committed to keeping you informed and ensuring every student feels safe, secure, and supported.
Thank you for your partnership with Purcell PS.
