Three different players scored in double figures as Kingfisher got its second blowout win over Bethany this season.

Bree Taylor scored a season-high 12 points while Brooklyn Whipple and Katelyn Stolz added 10 apiece in a 43-29 victory Tuesday at the APB on homecoming night.

Stolz was crowned the homecoming queen by king Trey Green in a ceremony before the game.

Afterward, she scored eight first-half points as the Lady Jackets built up a 27-10 lead.

Taylor helped bring it home as she scored eight points in the third when the Lady Jackets extended their lead to 24 points.

“She was really good tonight. I don’t think she missed a shot,” said coach Jay Wood of the senior post player.

He was right.

Taylor made all five of her field goal attempts and both free throws. She added four rebounds.

Stolz scored Kingfisher’s only points of the fourth quarter as Bethany’s late surge made the score appear closer than the game actually played out.

“I was hoping our group in there would make one more little run, get a couple of buckets and then we could go to our bench more,” Wood said. “But it never happened.”

Bethany outscored KHS 12-2 in the quarter.

Despite the late push, Bethany was held to 28.6 percent shooting and turned it over 21 times.

Hanna Matthews was a big cause of their problems as the KHS junior had six of Kingfisher’s nine steals.

Although KHS struggled from 3-point range (1 of 13), it was better than 60 percent (17 of 28) inside the arc.

Stolz had a team-high six rebounds for the Lady Jackets, who improved to 9-9 overall and 5-6 in the Canadian Valley Conference.

The win was the Lady Jackets’ third in four games.

Jackets use surges

to blow past Bronchos

It wasn’t the same kind of throttling as when the teams first met, but Kingfisher got yet another dominant win against a ranked foe in Class 4A.

The top-ranked Jackets used big spurts to end the first quarter and begin the third to help dispose of No. 12 Bethany 60-39 Tuesday at the APB.

“I thought our defense was really good,” said coach Jared Reese after his team won its 11th straight game while improving to 17-1. “We got after them and made it tough to do what they wanted offensively.”

KHS held the Bronchos to 17 first-half points while building a 16-point lead.

It was capped by Matthew Stone’s putback at the buzzer to put the exclamation point on an excellent half for the sophomore.

Stone had 15 of his game-high 23 points in the first two quarters. He also led the team with nine rebounds, six on the offensive end.

“He was all over the place,” Reese said. “We didn’t run a ton of sets for him; he was making it happen for himself and still scored 23.”

KHS fell behind 6-4 midway through the first quarter, but scored 13 straight points to end the frame.

Stone scored eight of those points and Bijan Cortes five more.

After Stone’s putback gave KHS a 33-17 halftime edge, the Jackets started the third quarter on a 9-0 spurt.

Jett Sternberger got it going with a 3-pointer and Trey Green followed it with two of his own.

Green added a three-point play later in the quarter as KHS pushed its lead to 48-24.

The senior scored 15 points, three rebounds and four assists on a night he was crowned homecoming king.

Sternberger added another 3-pointer of his own in the third and finished with 11 points.

The Jackets forced 20 turnovers, including four steals by Sternberger, and shot 67 percent inside the 3-point line.

KHS now has an 11-0 conference mark.
