The games can be heard on KGWA (960 AM).
The No. 7-ranked Pacers (17-4) beat El Reno 50-45 in the season opener Nov. 29 behind 14 points from Abby Lee and 10 points from Grace Enmeier and Haven Bay.
Courtney Chelf, the Pacers leading scorer (17.9 ppg), was held to 9points, one of only two games where she was held under double figures.
Chelf has 18 straight games in double figures.
The Lady Indians, 7-13, are ranked No. 20 in 5A. El Reno broke a four-game losing streak by beating Guthrie 35-34 on Friday.

Jemarcus Jackson led the Plainsmen attack in that game with 21 points.
El Reno (12-8) is coming off a 43-39 loss at home to Guthrie. It was the Indians’ second-straight loss. El Reno had won four-straight before that, including a 48-46 win over Shawnee in the Shawee Invitational consolation finals.

Lunt transferring to Illinois
Former Oklahoma State starting quarterback Wes Lunt is transferring to Illinois, returning to his home state after giving the Illini little consideration out of high school.
Lunt is from Rochester, Ill., and started five games last season as a freshman for the Cowboys, but was sidelined by an injury. He was the first true freshman to open the season as the starting quarterback at Oklahoma State since at least 1950.
The highly regarded Lunt will have to sit out this fall under NCAA transfer rules, but when he’s available in 2014 could be an instant upgrade for a struggling Illinois program and coach Tim Beckman, who is headed into his second season in Champaign. Beckman is a former OSU assistant coach. -

Spurs take 3-2 lead in series
Manu Ginobili had 24 points and 10 assists in a surprise start to spark the San Antonio Spurs to a 114-104 victory over the Miami Heat in Game 5 of the NBA Finals Sunday night, pushing the Spurs one victory away from their fifth championship.
Danny Green scored 24 points and broke Ray Allen’s finals record for 3s in a series with 25. Tony Parker had 26 points for San Antonio.
LeBron James scored 25 points on 8-for-22 shooting for the Heat and Dwyane Wade had 25 points and 10 assists. But the Heat missed 21 of their first 29 shots to fall behind by 17 points in the second quarter of another uninspired performance.
Game 6 of the best-of-seven series is Tuesday night in Miami. -

Rose ends English drought at Open
A steady hand gave Justin Rose the shiny U.S. Open Trophy. A wild ride gave Phil Mickelson yet another silver medal.
Rose captured his first major championship on Sunday with remarkable calm and three pure shots on the punishing closing holes at Merion. A par on the 18th hole gave him an even-par 70, and that was good enough to become the first Englishman in 43 years to win America’s national championship.
Rose hit 5-iron to the first cut of rough, pin-high on the 17th for an easy par. He smashed the most important tee shot of his career down the middle on the final hole, about 15 feet short of the famous Ben Hogan plaque. And his 4-iron rolled near the pin and settled against the collar of the green. - More Sports Headlines
