STILLWATER - Garrison Mendoza couldn't hold the tears back.
He has been waiting and watching and working too long for his chance to bring a gold ball to Clinton.

Saturday was that day. Mendoza quarterbacked 12-2 Clinton to a 21-14 win over Anadarko in the Class 4A state championship game at Boone Pickens Stadium, the school's 16th state title.
