Nearly every Kingfisher County basketball team was playing in a tournament last week, the first of three major tournament weeks of the season.Two did not: The Kingfi sher boys and Okarche girls.

Covington- Douglas wasn’t seeing double on Tuesday.It was just seeing both of the Harviston twins.The juniors combined for 40 points to lift Dover to a 47-39 win at home.It was Dover’s fourth straight victory as it moved the Lady Longhorns to 6-2 on the season.

Five Lady Warriors scored in double figures Tuesday as Okarche won its third straight game.Okarche blitzed Harding Fine Arts for the second time this season, this time on the road by a 91-11 margin.The game was essentially over as soon as it tipped off.

Hinton won all but one of the contested matches last Tuesday to grab an easy dual win over Kingfisher.The Comets took home a 57-8 victory from the APB.“We’re very young and inexperienced,” said KHS co-head wrestling coach Stan Blundell.

Kingfisher let a big lead slip away.But it didn’t let a win slip through its fingers.Caden Kitchens and Xavier Ridenour combined for 18 points in the fourth quarter to lead KHS to a 52-43 win at Tuttle.

Dover put on a 3-point shooting display to earn its third straight win and spoil Crescent’s season opener.The Lady Longhorns drilled 11 3-pointers Friday en route to a 65-29 road win.Four of those treys came from Katelyn Harviston, who has lit up the nets since returning from Thanksgiving break.

When things got tight, Cashion went to its leader.Lauren Jenkins delivered as the Lady Wildcats beat Morrison 47-41 to open their season at home last Friday night.Up by seven at the half, Cashion scored just four points in the third quarter and saw its lead shrink to one.

The new era of Cashion basketball just needed a chance to catch its breath and relax.Once that happened, the result was like so many others over the last several years as the Wildcats have emerged as one of the best programs in Class 2A.

It took Kingfisher a couple of empty trips down the floor before it scored its first points of the basketball season.But when the Lady Jackets did find the bottom of the net, the rout was on in what turned into a 6716 victory at Chisholm’s Outhier Fieldhouse.

Hennessey didn’t manage a field goal in the fourth quarter, but did manage to hang on for the win.The Lady Eagles staved off Crooked Oak’s comeback Friday with a 38-34 road win to move to 2-0.Both teams cooled considerably after a torrid first quarter ended in a 17-17 tie.
