Despite shattering glass flying into the face of Sulphur assistant boy’s basketball coach and bus driver Grant Bates, pictured above, no major injuries were reported when a large crane impacted the school’s activity bus as the team was headed to Madill for a game on February 4. Bates was hailed for his efforts to successfully steer the bus on the narrow, two-lane road between Sulphur and Dickson, and bring it to a stop. Principal Clete Cole, sitting near Bates, helped him in guiding the bus to safety, it was reported.
