Crescent’s streak of gut-wrenching defeats came to an end last week.The losing streak, however, did not.Hinton dominated the second half Friday night to run away with a 41-6 home win over the Tigers.The loss was Crescent’s fifth straight as the Tigers were eliminated from playoff contention.

Hennessey took a loss in its own Week 9 game, but picked up a victory of sorts in another.Oklahoma Christian School remained undefeated last Friday with a 42-14 win at Hennessey.

Cashion cemented its district supremacy with its biggest win of the season.The Wildcats shut down Tonkawa last Friday to earn a 28-8 road win.The win was Cashion’s (8-1) eighth straight while it ended a six-game win streak for the Buccaneers.

The final standing was disappointing.The effort was not.Kingfisher High School took seventh last Saturday in the Class 4A girls state cross country meet at Edmond Santa Fe.The Lady Jackets started the season with high aspirations and entered state ranked fifth.

Kingfisher had two ways it could respond in the second half at Heritage Hall.Down big, the Jackets could pack it in and limp into Week 10 or they could show some fight and salvage something on the Chargers’ Oklahoma City campus.They chose the latter.

Halloween means trick-or-treating for most people in Oklahoma.For small-school basketball teams and coaches… Oct. 31 is also basketball season eve...or at least close.Nov. 1 is annually the date non-football playing schools can start their basketball seasons.

The season of heartbreak continues for Crescent.The Tigers erased a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter Friday, but couldn’t score in overtime while eventually falling 34- 28 to Oklahoma Christian Academy.The loss was the fourth straight for the Tigers.

It’s more than an uphill climb, but Hennessey still has a theoretical shot at reaching the playoffs.The Eagles kept those hopes alive last Friday by manhandling Alva 33-18.Hennessey had 390 total yards and led by three touchdowns entering the fourth quarter.

In a sense, Kingfisher’s fate in extending its streak of making the playoffs a 22nd straight year rested on the foot of Alan Muñoz.The streak is intact.
