One of the best teams in Class 2A was absolutely no match for the one ranked atop 4A. Kingfisher flexed some muscle last Friday as it dominated 2A’s second-ranked Pirates 69-33 on the road.

Sophomore Isaac Long continued his strong tournament showing for the Kingfisher High School wrestling team. Long was the top placer for the Jackets at last weekend’s Hub City Classic in Clinton. The 138-pounder took runner-up in his division and helped KHS to an eighth-place finish.

Kingfisher had yet another furious comeback fall just short against a quality foe last week. Trailing by 10 in the second half and by nine in the fourth quarter, the Lady Jackets rallied to lead 2A’s ifth-ranked Dale before eventually falling 51-48.

With a little more health and a lot more determination, Okarche got its biggest win of the season. The fourth-ranked Lady Warriors avenged one of their two losses Saturday by knocking off No. 3 Calumet 54-47 on the road in a showdown of two of Class A’s contenders.

Even in an unfamiliar gym, Lomega keeps finding a way to light up the scoreboard. The Lady Raiders on Saturday knocked down 17 3-pointers as part of their 86-37 victory over Hennessey in the Downtown Enid Basketball Festival at the Stride Bank Center.

A balanced attack for Cashion that included solid shooting spelled doom for Chisholm last Friday. The Wildcats shot better than 50 percent overall and had three players in double figures as they bested Chisholm 71-43 at the Downtown Enid Basketball Festival at the Stride Bank Center.

State Rep. Mike Sanders recognized the number that popped up on his cell phone as he was driving to the House Speaker’s Ball last Saturday night, but he had no idea why he was receiving a phone call from the White House.
