“What a way to end the 9th grade girl’s season. Two wins and a trophy in the Anadarko Tournament. We lost the first game to a real talented Lawton Eisenhower team who probably won the tournament.” said Jim Taylor, Elk City 9th grade coach.

“For the consolation trophy we layed great defense again as a team holding their best scorer from Lawton Mac to two points. It’s a great feeling to win the last game you play in a season, especially in a tournament. The girls were a challenge to coach, but listened to coaching as good as any group I’ve had. Therefore they improved all year long and should be very proud of the accomplishments they made.”
