Dover’s bid to return to the state baseball tournament was ended on Friday. The Longhorns were eliminated from their Class B regional with an 8-3 loss to Moss at Varnum. Their season ended with a 12-12 mark just one season after winning only three games.

Crescent had been perfect in one-score games this season. Until Saturday, that is. Tonkawa put an end to that streak with a 21-20 victory at Crescent. The visiting Bucs scored with 30 seconds left in the first half and got a twopoint run by Tristen Burdick to go up 21-20.

Chalk up another win for the Kingfisher girls cross country team. The Lady Jackets were dominant last Saturday in the Watonga Cross Country Invitational as they won for the fourth time in five meets. The Lady Jackets carded just 48 points to beat the host Lady Eagles by 24 points.

An overmatched Oklahoma Christian Academy squad took an aggressive game plan into last week’s showdown at Cashion. “They played press man on the outside and blitzed us,” said Cashion coach Lynn Shackelford. In one respect, it worked. Cashion only took 20 offensive snaps and turned it over twice.

Turnovers and a physical foe proved too much for Kingfisher to overcome. The Yellowjackets were handed their second loss of the season last Friday as they surrendered 328 rushing yards and three turnovers in a 21-10 setback to visiting Clinton on homecoming night.

Kingfisher’s monumental softball season was put to a disappointing halt early Saturday evening. Bridge Creek staved off elimination with back-toback wins over the Lady Jackets to win a best-of-three bi-district series in Kingfisher.
