Okarche closed out the era in its current gymnasium Saturday night with a pair of district championships.

The teams’ trek to the state tournament will have to be done elsewhere.

In the final varsity games played in the structure that’s housed Okarche basketball since the 1940s, the Lady Warriors dominated Kremlin-Hillsdale 74-19 and the Warriors followed it up with an 84-52 thumping of Ringwood in Class A district title games.

“That was a good team,” said Okarche boys coach Ray West. “I thought we played really well.”

Indeed, Ringwood came in with a 19-5 record and on a four-game win streak.

However, the Red Devils couldn’t keep up with Okarche’s pace or handle the Warriors’ pressure.

Okarche forced 21 turnovers and built up a 35-23 halftime lead.

ThatwasbeforeOkarche really turned on the jets.

The Warriors erupted for 34 points in the third quarter, extending their advantage to 33 points.

Cris Avila just missed out on a triple-double as the senior guard scored 14 points, handed out 11 assists and pulled down nine rebounds.

Lathen Stover led the Warriors with 18 points. Tucker Neuenschwander was 4 of 5 from 3-point range and added 16 points.

Evan Endres scored 15 points and Kaleb Harris gave Okarche five players in double figures with 11.

The Warriors enter the regional having won seven straight games. They’ll play Shattuck at Shattuck at 8 p.m. Thursday in their regional winner’s bracket game.

The Okarche girls will also play Shattuck to open the regional on Thursday.

They earned that spot after hammering Kremlin-Hillsdale over the weekend.

The dominance started early as Okarche led 30-0 after just one quarter.

Rachel McDowell led the way with 15 points as Okarche won its 10th straight game.

Karsyn Vallerand scored 14 and Kassidy Rother 10.
