Kevin Lewallen said it was the best his team has played all season.That’s saying something…and it was bad news for Kremlin-Hillsdale.Lomega stayed streaking Saturday night as it whalloped Class B No.

Frontier’s offense slowed down.Hennessey’s started to warm up.Then the Eagles made more plays down the stretch to win their second tournament of the season.Garett Vinson’s two free throws with 6.6 seconds left on Saturday sealed a 50-46 victory for Hennessey over Class A No.

Saturday offered a first for this year’s Dover Lady Longhorns basketball team.It trailed at halftime. More importantly, though, the Lady Longhorns didn’t trail at the end of the game.A big third-quarter run pushed Dover to a lead it wouldn’t lose as it downed Class A No.

It was deja vu for the Okarche basketball teams.The Warriors and Lady Warriors swept the championship titles at the Coyle Invitational on Saturday night and did so in convincing fashion for the entirety of the tournament.The Okarche girls downed Watonga 64-33 in the championship game.

The first 47 seconds of the Buckle of the Wheatbelt Invitational championship game were a blur to Peyton Walker.One she wants to forget… if she hasn’t already.“Let’s not talk about that,” she said.The final 31 minutes and 13 seconds of the game were more to her liking.
