Ft. Cobb-Broxton 68 Calumet 52

The Ft. Cobb Broxton Mustangs and Calumet Chieftains were both back in the championship for first time since 2019 and this would be a matchup of two powerhouses. The first half of play the Mustangs would put on a shooting clinic going for 18 and both quarters and they could not miss, Anytime the Chieftains would score the Mustangs with answer right back. The third quarter would be pretty even for the most part but the Mustangs would go on a run in the fourth quarter to ultimately seal it and win their first title since 2018. The Mustangs would be lead in scoring by Blayke Nunn with 18 points, Jaxon Willits would finish with 14 points, Eli Willits with 11 points, Simeon Collins with 10 points, Ian Taylor with eight points and Kray Rogers with six points. The Chieftains would be lead in scoring by Dalton Belcher with 19pts, Hunter Arnold with 10pts, Kyler Thiessen and Kingston Arnold both with six points.

Seiling 54 Caddo 40

This matchup would be one of two teams who can score at will, Both Braci Nyberg for Seiling and Emily Robinson was coming off dominant performances in their semifinals games. The Lady Bruins would get off to hot start in the first quarter and couldn’t miss a shot early on but in the second quarter came the 27-10 run from the Lady Cats. The second half would be a little more scoring wise but the Lady Cats would have the upper hand as they never looked back in the second half en route to their sixth title in the last eight seasons. The Lady Cats would be lead in scoring by Braci Nyberg with 17 points and Kenly Gore with 15 points. The Lady Bruins would be lead in scoring by Emily Robinson with 19 points and Jaycie Nichols with 10 points.

Hammon 59 Lomega 49

This matchup is the definition of girls basketball powerhouses. The Lomega Lady Raiders and Hammon Lady Warriors have been in this game several times before. The first quarter would be a pretty even matchup but then a 17-3 run for the Lady Warriors in the second quarter would feature the offense on full display. Third quarter would be about the same, The Lady Warriors could not miss and throughout the tournament their three point shooting and low post presence was elite. The fourth quarter would be even for the most part but the Lady Warriors would prevail as they would go on to win the state championship for first time since 2018. Henley West and Maylee Chaney lead the way with scoring for the Lady Warriors with 21 points while for the Lady Raiders, Abby Swart would have 22 points and Darcy Roberts would have 18 points to lead scoring for the Lady Raiders.

Caddo 58 Okay 51

Two teams both battling for their first title in school history. The Bruins was in for first time in school history while the Mustangs was in for first time since 2017 and both teams. This matchup in general would feature both post players, DJ Dill for Caddo and Duckee Schwimmer for Okay, While the Bruins lead most of the game, That didn’t stop the Mustangs from making a run a couple times. The exclamation point in this game came from two DJ Dill dunks in the fourth quarter to seal the win and get the Bruins their first title in school history. DJ Dill lead the way with scoring with 23 points, The Mustangs would be lead in scoring by Diezel Davis and Tito Ramos with 12 points.
