Okarche girls, Laverne boys going to state

Anonymous Enid News and Eagle The Enid News and Eagle Sun Feb 24, 2013, 10:00 PM CST

ENID, Okla. — For the first time since 2009, Seiling’s girls won’t be going to the state basketball tournament.

The Lady Wildcats season ended Sunday with a 58-28 loss to Okarche in the Area I losers bracket finals at the Chisholm Trail Expo Center Coliseum.

Okarche led 16-10 after the first period and 28-16 at halftime, but broke the game open a 18-2 third-quarter run.

Morgan Voth led the Lady Warriors with 22 points, followed by Madi Grellner with 14 points and Madison Lee with 13 points.

Seiling, which finished with a 17-11 record, did not have a player score in double figures.

Okarche will be joined at state by Cheyenne-Reydon, Sterling, Fort Cobb-Broxton, Pond Creek-Hunter, Frontier, Turner and Kiowa.

The news wasn’t as good for the Okarche boys.

Laverne, the eight-man Class B state football champion, showed it could play hoops, too, in a 51-40 win over the Warriors that punched the Tigers’ ticket to the Class A state tournament.

Laverne was led by Seth Overstreet with 18 points. The Tigers led by only one, 28-27, at halftime but outscored Okarche 9-6 in the third period and 14-7 in the fourth.

It’s the first time since 2008 the Tigers have qualified for state.

Laverne will be joined at state by Cheyenne-Reydon, Sterling, Fort Cobb-Broxton, Velma-Alma, Glencoe, Weleetka and Wright City.

The state tournament pairings are scheduled to be announced Tuesday.

The tournament will begin Thursday in Oklahoma City. The tournament will conclude on Saturday.�

Sooners zero in on Big 12
Oklahoma has made a complete turnaround in the last two days. The squad that looked dominant early in the season has re-emerged at the Big 12 tournament. The Sooners (38-19) rolled to their second straight tournament victory, thumping Texas Tech (25-30), 8-0, Friday, and improving to 2-0 in the event.
After three weeks of struggling, the team OU thought it would be surfaced. The mix of premier pitching and timely hitting was overwhelming to Baylor on Thursday and Texas Tech on Friday.
More importantly, the victories set up the Sooners’ meeting with Kansas State, which topped Baylor 13-9 Friday, at 12:30 p.m. today. The winner advances to Sunday’s championship game.

Claborn pleased with WHS progress
The Deer Creek-Lamont team camp has given Waukomis football coach Jon Claborn an idea of how much his team has progressed over the past year.
A newly hired Claborn a year ago took his team to the DCLA camp with three days of spring football behind them.
“We’re leaps and bounds ahead of where we were last year,’’ Claborn said. “We have looked really good ... we’re a year older, stronger, and hopefully, a year smarter.’’
The DCLA camp has offered the Chiefs good competition with teams such as defending Class B state runner-up Pond Creek-Hunter, Coyle and the host Eagles among the participants.
