A wild comeback came up just short and left the Kingfisher Yellowjackets just shy of the state tournament.

Trailing by 17 in the third quarter, KHS fought back to tie the game in the fourth, but eventually fell 60-54 to No. 8 Catoosa in a Class 4A area consolation championship game Saturday in Kellyville.

The loss ended 10thranked Kingfisher’s season with a 21-9 record.
