The game was never in doubt in the fourth quarter. That doesn’t mean there wasn’t some uneasiness. Kingfisher moved into the quarterfinals for the third straight year with last Friday’s 51-41 victory over visiting Lone Grove.

Drummond had no answer for Joriaun Caldwell and that helped Dover get over .500 on the season. The Longhorns delivered a 54-40 victory over the Bulldogs in their home opener. Caldwell scored 34 points, including 11 in the fourth quarter as the Longhorns quelled any thoughts of a Drummond comeback.

Kingfisher is right back where it would have been in the first place. The Jackets disposed of visiting Dickson 49-8 last Friday in a game even more lopsided than the final score.
