PERKINS-TRYON DEMONS
BASKETBALL
Demon
By Bob Williams
Journal Editor
The Perkins-Tryon Demons and
Lady Demons face a busy week with
the regular season winding down.
The two varsity squads have
received their district basketball
assignments. Both are in Harrah
with Jones also assigned there.
"Harrah plays five-on-five in
girls instead of three-on-three so
both Jones and Perkins-Tryon have
a first round bye," explained PTHS
girls' coach Jerry Burnett. =So we'll
play Jones at 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb.
20, in the district finals. Both teams
will advance to the second round the
foll(,ving week under Oklahoma's
playoff system.
The unique matchup will make
the finals a family affair. Bumett's
brother, Billy, is the head coach at
Jones.
On the boys side of the bracket,
Perkins-T'yon will meet Jones at
7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 19. The
loser is eliminated. The winner will
face host Harrah in the finals the
following night with both teams
advancing into the second round of
playoffs.
Perkins-Tryon have three games
slated this week.
They played Olhahoma Christian
School at home Tuesday, will host
Blackwell Thursday before playing
at Cushing Friday.
Buruett has never had a losing
season. His girls won twice last
week, downing Bethany 55-50 and
whipping Perry 44-32 on the road
to raise the Lady Demons season
record to 7-9.

the first half," Buruett said. "We
had them down 30-15. We lost
our intensity and struggled the last
half."
Traci Bostian led the way offen-
sively with a season-high 18 points.
Karl Willingham tossed in 14 and
Trish Field 12.
"the win at Perry was very
satisfying," Burnett admitted. "It
was best road game of the season."
Carri Neal, who has been slowed
most of the season with a knee
injury, came alive at Perry to score a
season high 24 points. Willingham
had 12 and Bostian 6.
Burner gives a lot of credit for
the pair of wins to his guard end.
"I thought they really played
well," he said. "Katy Arthur,
Kristina Atwood, Sheri Wilde and
Megan Crane off the bench did a
great job of defending, rebounding
and getting the ball to the forwards.
What was encouraging was their
reducing the number of turnovers."
Arthur's play on the defensive
end earned the sophomore Player
of the Week honors. Sophomore
point guard Matt Brewer was
selected Demon of the Week.
After playing Bethany close at
home, trailing 45-43 after three
quarters before falling 66-54, the
Demons collapsed at Perry, losing
64-41.
"We had an opportunity to win
the Bethany game," mused head
boys' coach Rick C-arrison. =We
made on 3 of 11 free throws in the
fourth quarter and that's what beat

a losing season and not give up.
"I want them to forget about our
1-13 season record and concentrate
on playing on hard for 32 minutes.
I want them to dig in their heels and
of busy
keep fighting."
After losing to Bethany at the
line, it was free throws that kept
the Demons even remotely in the
game at Perry as they made 21 of
24 attempts.
