Pond Creek-Hunter beats Drummond to win Skeltur boys crown

Anonymous Enid News and Eagle The Enid News and Eagle Fri Feb 01, 2013, 11:08 PM CST

POND CREEK, Okla. — Both regular-season Skeltur Conference basketball championships will reside at Pond Creek-Hunter.

The Panthers clinched the boys championship by avenging an earlier loss to Drummond 61-53 Friday behind a 20-point effort by T.J. Krittenbrink.

Mac Styles had 16 for Pond Creek-Hunter, which finished league play at 6-1. Parker Jankey had 17 for Drummond (5-2), followed by Zak Wilson with 16 and Brady Kokojan with 14.

“I’m excited for the boys,’’ said Panthers coach Darin Jones. “We haven’t won Skeltur since I’ve been here. It’s a fine accomplishment to run through Skeltur and win it. It’s a super win, but I don’t want them to be satisfied with it.’’

The Panthers raced out to an 18-6 first-quarter lead and didn’t look back. The game plan, Jones said, was to get the ball to Krittenbrink inside.

“The others did a great job getting the ball to him,’’ Jones said. “We didn’t turn it over like we did the last time (53-51 loss Saturday in Skeltur Tournament third-place game). We were more efficient in our offensive game plan.’’

Jones said Drummond will be tough in the playoffs.

“Kokojan, Wilson and Jankey are as good as any three around,’’ Jones said.

At Helena, Timberlake’s girls beat Burlington 52-45 behind 16 points from Kayla Castle, 12 from Kylee Severin and 11 from Ami Adkisson in a game which impacted two conference races.

The Lady Tigers, with the win, clinched a tie for the Orient Conference championship at 6-0. There could be a three-way tie for the title, though, if Mooreland (5-1) beats Timberlake Tuesday. Burlington is 5-1.

The loss denied Burlington an outright Cherokee Strip Conference championship. DCLA beat defending state champion Lomega for the second time in a week 60-51 behind Katy Starr’s 22 points.

Both the Lady Elks and Lady Eagles finished the conference at 6-1. Burlington beat DCLA on Jan. 14.

Lomega and Timberlake finished a game behind at 5-2.慴

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.
