This is the second installment in a continuing series (no, we don’t know how many there will be) on Kingfisher’s historic run in boys’ basketball over the last several years. Part I appeared in the March 24 edition... Jared Reese constantly talks about how unselfish his players are on the court.

Try it and see what happens. Though not always great advice to follow depending on the circumstances, those words of wisdom worked out well last weekend for Ally Stephenson.

Coming off yet another unbeaten season in conference play, Kingfisher High School saw four players land all-conference honors. Bijan Cortes is the repeat winner of the Western Athletic Conference Most Valuable Player Award after a vote of the coaches.

Kingfisher County will have a pair of representatives at this year’s Oklahoma Girls Basketball Coaches Association All-State games. Both are from Lomega. Emma Duffy and Adysen Wilson were named to the Small West when the teams were announced last week.

Crescent’s Dominic Stevens was the medalist and Kingfisher had two golfers finish in the top-10 Tuesday at the Pioneer Invitational. Stevens fired a 4-overpar 75 to take first place in the event at Enid’s Meadowlake Golf Course. Kingfisher didn’t field a full team for the event.

The Kingfisher boys got a pair of hat tricks and a blowout win Tuesday to begin district soccer play. Alan Muñoz completed his hat trick - plus some - in the first half and Aaron DeLaTorre picked up his third goal in the second half as the Jackets rolled past visiting Corde1113-3.

Kingfisher pitchers combined to strike out 18 batters Tuesday as the Jackets got their second district sweep of the season. After a Monday rainout, KHS defeated McLoud 7-2 in both games of a double-header at Homier Field.

The cliché about it not being how one starts, but rather how they finish played out in real life for Maddi Kamas.

For the second time in the past three weeks, Southwestern Oklahoma State baseball has had a player honored as the Great American Conference Pitcher of the Week after Matt Hopkins earned the award on Monday. Hopkins, a Kingfisher High School product, is in his first year with the Bulldogs.

There’s so much to cover, so much to talk about, so much to dissect on the Kingfisher boys basketball program, its recent run and its most recent state championship. The coaches. The players. The history.
