Oops…. No one is perfect including VYPE Editor Brad Heath who wants to correct the record on a poll that ran on Aug. 25th, which featured some of the top pitchers in the SWOK region. The poll was titled, “Fan’s Choice – All-SWOK Pitchers” and ran for several days. Fans voted and a list was completed. Unfortunately Emily Ely, who finished with 5,656 votes was left off.

Here are the revised results of the Fan’s Choice – All-SWOK Pitchers
Toni Kelly – Empire 28,485 votes
Korren Ferrell – Elgin 23,868 votes
Kassidy Randall – Frederick 8,391 votes
Jordan Weese – Burns Flat-Dill City 7,375 votes
Karley Henson – Snyder 7,311 votes
Corrina Rivas – Duncan 7,224 votes
Angel Stoker – Ringling 5,983 votes
Emily Ely – Velma-Alma 5,656 votes
Shekinah Gilliam – Cyril 4,799 votes
Falon Howell – Duncan 4,007 votes
Brooklyn Sullivan – Chickasha 3,832 votes
We did leave Brooklyn Sullivan from Chickasha on the list making it the Top 11, but I’m sure no one will complain or have an issue with a top 11.
We did get an amazing number of votes on this poll. In total we received 119,021 votes so I thought it would be fun to share some of the write-in votes we received.
Several players received write-in votes, but the people writing in only gave first names. Tabitha, Korren and Shekinah received write in votes and after researching those names I’ve concluded they may be Armstrong, Ferrell and Gilliam. But it can’t be sure……right?
Whoever Mark Olivo is, well he received a vote. Good job Mark. Also Lawton football player Tre Curry got a vote.
Lawton Eisenhower high school got a vote. Maybe they meant to say all of the pitchers at Ike?
One of the better write-in votes; “You have to field too!” Yes that was a vote. And true.
Letters E and S got votes. That’s a strange one.
But my favorite write-in vote was “This list is a joke!” Strange name for a ball player.
One final note on Emily Ely. Not only have we corrected the list, Ely was recently named Miss Velma-Alma 2016. Congrats Emily!
