The Pawhuska Huskies were firing on all cylinders in Thursday night's 77-29 victory over the Preston Pirates.
Pawhuska led 20-4 heading into the second quarter and extended a 16-point lead to 25 by halftime. It was Easton Kirk who led the way for Pawhuska, scoring 22 points. Mason Gilkey, Tell Richardon, and Tre Harper all scored in double-figures. Thursday's victory automatically advances the Huskies to the area tournament next week, but they will first play against Pawnee this Saturday in Stroud. These two teams have met twice earlier in the season, with Pawnee winning both times. The last game was on Pawhuska's senior night. The Huskies trailed 9-0 to start the game and went on to lose 72-56. Coach Jake Christenson knows that his team must avoid a second slow start in order to win. Saturday's game will be an 8 o' clock tipoff. Comments are closed.
