The Dover boys staved off elimination once. They didn’t have another one in them. Dover’s season ended Monday with a 63-42 loss to Webbers Falls in their Class B regional consolation semifinal at Agra.

Okarche earned a bit of payback and also secured its spot in the area tournament in one night. The Lady Warriors bested Thomas 50-45 at home Saturday in their Class A regional winner’s bracket matchup. The win put Okarche into the regional final Tuesday night (after press time) against Woodland.

Karlee Harviston came up big in the first half and in the fourth quarter. Yareli Obeso was huge in the third. Together, they helped the Dover Lady Longhorns pull within one win of a Class B area tournament. Dover defeated Glencoe 41-33 Monday in the regional consolation semifinal at Agra.

Kingfisher had two wrestlers qualify Saturday for the state tournament and just missed out on a third. But that was just the half of it. The team returned Monday and saw two more make their way into the state brackets. Gant Browning is a state qualifier at 106 pounds and Rhylee Toepfer at 120.

Cashion’s basketball teams spent most of last week searching and searching for someone to play. Like most teams, they’d experienced a rash of cancellations and if they couldn’t find an opponent or two for later in the week, they’d be looking at a three-week stretch between games.

Lomega has won what it hopes is the first of four postseason championships. The Lady Raiders had little resistance last Friday as they defeated Dover 97-35 at home to lay claim to a Class B district championship.

Coach Justin Edsall was hopeful his Lomega boys team would take Dover seriously in their Class B district championship. The Raiders opened the seasonwitha36-point win over the Longhorns, but Edsall knew this was a different Dover team visiting on Friday.
