When the Kingfisher High School seniors walked off the APB court last Saturday night, they did so after having just played their last game at home. And they never lost one of them. The Yellowjackets overwhelmed No.

Two Kingfisher High School wrestlers reached the main bracket of their respective weights, but the Jackets were unable to notch any points at last week’s Class 4A state tournament.

Thomas got hot at the right time. That spelled doom for the Okarche Lady Warriors. Unranked Thomas won for the fifth time in six days Saturday when it held off Okarche 36-32 in their Class A area consolation championship at the Stride Center in Enid.

If it wasn’t Wewoka’s best punch, it was close to it. Unfortunately for the Tigers, Cashion was still standing. Fourth-ranked Cashion overcame a double-digit first-quarter deficit Saturday to subdue Wewoka 72-67 in their Class 2A regional title game in Stroud.

Kevin Lewallen said basketball becomes a much easier game to play when you simply make shots. His Lady Raiders didn’t do a lot of that in their regional final win against Webbers Falls when they scored a season-low 46 points.

When the game was on the line, not one Lomega Raider stepped up. They all did. That was exemplified late when Dilon Fisher grabbed a steal and made a pass upcourt to Riley Lumpkin as he was falling out of bounds.

KINGFISHER HIGH SCHOOL’S basketball homecoming game was canceled earlier this season so the school provided a brief crowning ceremony recently after the teams’ district games with Elk City. Crowned 2020-21 KHS basketball homecoming queen was senior Britt Taylor.

Few teams can match the athleticism of the Kingfisher Lady Jackets. Weatherford is one of them. The fourth-ranked Lady Eagles held KHS to its second-lowest scoring total of the season to claim a 45-30 victory Saturday in their Class 4A regional championship game at the APB.
