After being reclassified as 4A, the Skiatook Lady Bulldogs started the new season off right with a 51-26 victory over the Glenpool Warriors. An explosive third quarter in which the Lady Bulldogs outscored Glenpool by 14 helped Skiatook build up a 20 point lead, and the went on to secure an impressive win on opening night. It was the first game of a season that sees some returning faces and a lot of new talent, under the direction of Coach Mason Phillips, and the girls played very well as a team. They moved the ball well and created open looks for everyone, and ten girls scored. Before the game, the National Anthem was led by Morris Neighbors, a 93-year-old Navy Veteran, and his family. To start the game, senior Emma Anderson was fouled in the low point and went to the line for Skiatook’s first score. Arionne Sletto knocked down a three pointer two possessions later, and Hanna Dysart made two triples in the closing minutes of the first. Skiatook led 12-11 at the end of the first. To open the second, Sletto powered her way into the lane for a contested two, and then she scored again on a nice pass from Rylee Massey. Skiatook continued to push the point spread, scoring again when Dysart faked a pass to the corner and then knifed through the defense for a layup, and Taylor Hight hit a three on the next trip down the floor. Glenpool scored four unanswered to close the half out with the Lady Bulldogs up 21-15. In the third, Hight earned two points from the free throw line, but Skiatook went cold, failing to score for almost four minutes until Dysart broke the scoring drought with a short two pointer. Fortunately, Glenpool didn’t score either, and the Warriors had no answer for a coast-to-coast layup from Sletto. After trading a couple scores, Martina Aeschliman drilled a three from the corner before freshman Rylee Anglin found her first varsity score at the free throw line and Addisyn Lebeau made a layup to put Skiatook up 37-17. In the fourth, Skiatook continued to extend the lead with the reserves earning quality minutes. The Lady Bulldogs built up a 51-26 final score.
