Barnsdall's 66-51 victory over Mounds on Friday advanced the Panthers to Saturday's district championship game against Oklahoma Union, the number one ranked team in Class 2A. Coach Wade Corder knew the Cougars were good, but he told his team as long as they played hard, they would have a chance to get the upset victory. The Panthers led by eight at halftime, but a three-pointer at the buzzer rimmed out and gave Oklahoma Union the 67-65 win.
Barnsdall will play Watonga on Thursday afternoon and in order to make the area tournament they will have to win three games in as many days. Corder said it is imperative that his team come out andplay with that high energy level once again. The Barnsdall Panthers will take the court in Ponca City at 3 p.m. on Thursday. With a win, they would take on the loser of Hooker and Pioneer-Pleasant Valley at 8 p.m. on Friday. Comments are closed.
