Dover’s best fast-pitch softball season came to an end Thursday.Leedey defeated the Lady Longhorns in back-to-back games in Kingfisher to claim a Class B district championship.Dover was the district host, but with its softball field under construction, the district was moved to Kingfisher.

Emma Lukasek delivered the final heroics Monday as the Kingfisher High School softball team erased a threerun deficit in its final at-bat.Lukasek slapped a threerun double in the bottom of the seventh as KHS defeated the OKC Broncos 12-11 in a back-and-forth affair.

Crescent heads into the district portion of its season on a roll.The Tigers won their third straight game last Friday as they blasted Newkirk 37-7 at home.Since losing their opening game to Hennessey, the Tigers have outscored their last three foes 88-25.

All three local competitive cheer teams have earned the right to compete this weekend at state.Crescent was crowned a Class 2A regional champion last weekend at its competition in Chickasha.Cashion was third in that same regional.Meanwhile, Kingfisher was fifth in its Class 4A regional at Stroud.

A Kingfisher team at full strength meant no shot for the rest of the field in the eighth annual Mike Driskill Turkey Creek Classic cross country meet.

Offense, defense and special teams contributed to the final score as Hennessey got back in the win column.The Eagles returned from their week off with a balanced attack in a 47-0 win over Crooked Oak in Oklahoma City.

Their battles from last season were those of two titans.Only one of the teams, however, resembled its 2020 self when they met again Friday night.Cashion throttled Thomas early and often, then coasted in the second half before returning home with a 47-0 victory.
