The showdown between reigning state champs and current title contenders was decidedly one-sided.Class A No. 1 Okarche flexed its muscle Tuesday and put on an offensive display rarely seen with a 117-68 thrashing of visiting Calumet.

Playing for the second time in a week, Weatherford threw a couple of new wrinkles at Kingfisher in hopes of pulling off the upset.And it worked. Well, for a little while anyway.

When they needed him most, Kyle Yowell was clutch.The Cashion senior buried two corner 3-pointers in the final moments of overtime to help the Wildcats prevail 59-56 Tuesday night at Fairview.

The Weatherford team that visited the APB last Tuesday wasn’t in the same class as the one that’s played in the Class 4A state championship the last three seasons.But it’s still pretty darn good.

Perry dominated the largest weight classes to earn a dual comeback win Tuesday and spoil Kingfisher High School’s wrestling homecoming.The Maroons got three falls and a tech fall in the final four matches to turn what was a 13-point deficit into a 41-31 victory over the Jackets at Heritage Gym.

Dover can still accomplish a lot this season.An undefeated record won’t be among them.That potential was dashed by Waukomis last Friday as the Chiefs toppled the Longhorns 55-39 in the finals of the Skeltur Conference Tournament at Pioneer.The defeat was Dover’s first as it fell to 20-1.

One of the most anticipated games of the Skordle Festival lived up to its hype.Lomega surrendered a big lead, then outplayed Riverside down the stretch on Friday to pull out a 7874 victory at Hennessey’s Eagle Event Center.

Cashion fell short of a tournament championship on Friday, but came through with a win over a defending state champ on Saturday.The Lady Wildcats played in two different events on back-to-back days last Friday and Saturday.

One rough quarter kept Hennessey from having a perfect run through the Skordle Festival.The Lady Eagles went 2-1 last weekend during a portion of the festival held at their own Eagle Event Center.
