Kingfisher High School basketball players raise yet another gold ball on the State Fair Arena floor. The Yellowjackets claimed the 2022 Class 4A state championship last Saturday with their 51-43 victory over Victory Christian. The title is the third straight for KHS and the fourth overall. KHS has played in every 4A state championship game since 2017 as it won the title that year as well as 2019 and 2021. The Jackets were runners-up in 2018 and no tournament was played in 2020. This year’s team finished 28-1, which matched the program’s best record. The story on the championship game can be found on Page 1B. Cashion’s boys basketball team took runner-up in Class 2A with its 65-58 loss to Dale on Saturday. The Wildcats’ silver ball photo can be found on Page 3A and the title game story on Page 7A.

Members of Cashion’s basketball team pose with the silver ball trophy after falling to Dale, 65-58, in last Saturday’s Class 2A championship game at State Fair Arena.

They became the first Cashion boys team to reach the state championship game in basketball. Eight seniors graduate after having helped Cashion reach state three straight times. Cashion had previously qualified for state just twice prior to the 2020 season. For more on the Wildcats’ title game, see Page 7A of this edition. [Photo by Brad Stone/www.bestone.shootproof.com]

Kingfisher’s basketball teams gave their fans - and themselves - plenty to be excited about last week. Kingfisher’s girls were defeated 50-41 by Weatherford in the state quarterfinals Tuesday morning, but not before some thrilling moments on the court brought the bench to its feet, or in sophomore Chloe Blair’s case, to the air. The KHS boys made their way into the semifinals with Tuesday night’s 41-28 victory over Blanchard. In that game, Kingfisher nailed nine 3-pointers. Celebrating one of those shots from downtown are freshmen Lucas Conrady, Matthew Mecklenburg and Carter Kitchens. For more on those games, see Page 6. [Photos by Russell Stitt/www.stitt.smugmug.com]
