Crescent’s massive comeback against Cashion helped the Tigers avenge an earlier lopsided loss to its War on 74 rivals.Parker Mitchell’s jumper in the lane with time running out missed off the back iron as the Tigers held on for a 50-49 overtime victory at home.

Two Kingfisher High School grapplers had gold medals draped around their necks and one was named Outstanding Wrestler at last weekend’s Western Conference Wrestling Tournament.

There were blown leads, clutch free throws, big shots, overtime, defensive stops and the game winner with no time on the clock.And even a broken bone. The Kingfisher-Elgin girls basketball game seemingly had it all last Friday night.

Dover’s comeback attempt on Tuesday night fell short despite a tremendous scoring performance from Remi Goodwin.The Lady Longhorns pulled even with Union City in the fourth quarter, but ultimately suffered the fate of a 48-41 loss on the road.

Coming off back-to-back losses at the conference tournament, the Cashion girls weren’t given much time to regroup.That’s because perennial state title contender Seiling was coming to town on Tuesday.But regroup Cashion did as the Lady Wildcats held off their visitors for 54-48 victory.

With its three total wins on the season, Alva wasn’t supposed to provide much of a roadblock for the Kingfisher Yellowjackets.And it didn’t. The Jackets made a season-high 13 3-pointers and tied their highest point total of the year Tuesday in an 80-45 win over the visiting Goldbugs at the APB.

There are a couple of different versions of the Kingfisher girls basketball teams.There’s one that doesn’t defend the 3-point line well, get defensive stops and thereby not able to get into a transition game.And then there’s the one that does all of that well.

Only five players scored for Hennessey in the Eagles’ home game Tuesday night with Watonga.But they scored a lot. The Eagles produced a season-high point total as they downed Watonga 87-74.It was Hennessey’s best win of the season as Watonga came in with a 6-6 mark.

( Editor’s note: Nate Reherman was a huge part of Weatherford’s emergence as a Class 4A boys basketball contender before graduating in 2024. In doing so, he had many clashes against Kingfisher along the way… and had local ties while doing so.
