Nearly all Kingfisher County teams will be in action on the hardwood Tuesday and it will serve as the season opener for three county schools.That includes Kingfisher, which makes the trek west to take on Merritt to tip off the 2025-26 season.

For the first time since its season opener, Lomega played a team that won’t be considered among the favorites to win a state championship in its respective class.The result was the Raiders putting an end to a three-game losing streak last Friday night.

There’s a reason this was considered a “David vs. Goliath” matchup on the field.And there was a reason there was no legitimate expectation of winning.

Add another big milestone to Jett Mueggenborg’s unending list of accomplishments.The Okarche senior poured in 22 points in less than two full quarters of action Saturday as the Warriors out-classed visiting Burns Flat-Dill City 99-26.

Elijah Click’s soccer career will take him across the pond next year. The Kingfisher High School senior on Thursday signed to play soccer collegiately at Leeds Beckett University, which sits in the center of the United Kingdom.

Lomega’s recent schedule has looked eerily similar to a Tournament of Champions bracket That included Tuesday night when the Raiders hosted reigning Class B champion Calumet, which left town with a 96-46 victory.It was Lomega’s third consecutive loss since opening the season with a win at Drummond.

There was a brief moment when it appeared Calumet might let Lomega run away with the game early.Then it appeared the Lady Chieftains found their legs and even offered the slightest of hope they might be able to pull off an upset.

After falling behind early, Dover dominated the final three quarters on Tuesday to stay unbeaten.The Longhorns trailed by four points after a quarter at Mulhall-Orlando, but used a 16-2 run to kickstart a 65-33 victory.The victory upped Dover’s season mark to 5-0.

When it came down to it, there was a crop of seniors who didn’t want it to be their last game.They were battered, they were bruised, they were injured and they were all but defeated.But they found a way.

While several smallschool basketball teams had three and four games under their belts by last week, Okarche was a little late to the part in starting the defense of its Class A state championship.
