The Skiatook Lady Bulldogs had a great season. With Anna Bonham, the team’s only senior, a commit to play Division 1 ball next year in Louisiana, the team had experienced leadership and a talented scorer leading them. The season finally came to a close on Monday, March 1st. In regional play, the team faced Tahlequah February 26. The Tigers entered the matchup ranked #4 in the state with a record of 19-6. Skiatook was familiar with Tahlequah: the teams had previously matched up twice earlier this season, Tahlequah winning 57-42 in Skiatook and 67-53 in the BOK Center. Unfortunately, the third matchup was more of the same. Behind a talented team of seniors led by Delaney Nix, the Tahlequah Tigers won 58-34. Nix scored 16 to lead the way. The first quarter was a struggle for Skiatook. They scored 11 points—their best scoring quarter of the game—but they also gave up 22 points and fell behind quickly. In the second the teams looked a lot more even, with Tahlequah and Skiatook scoring 7-6, respectively. It wasn’t smooth sailing from there for the girls, unfortunately. The third quarter was also trouble. Tahlequah went off for 24 points while Skiatook only scored 9, and the Tigers built up a 53-26 lead. In the fourth, Skiatook managed to outscore the Tigers 8-5, but there was no comeback in the cards. Rylee Massey led the team in scoring with 9 points, followed by Bonham with 8 and Sletto with 6. On March 1, the team faced East Central in the double elimination tournament. The #5 ranked Cardinals outscored the Bulldogs 49-32 eliminating Skiatook from the regional tournament. The Journal would like to say a very special thank you to Skiatook’s players and coaching staff, putting in lots of time and hours to help make the program what it is today.
