Lady Demons
win big at home
By Rick Lomenick
Journal Sports Editor
Two blowout home wins
but a disappointing road
loss in overtime completed
the 66 Conference portion
of the schedule for the Per-
kins-Tryon Lady Demons
last week.
The week ended with a
55-26 win over the Okemah
Lady Panthers here Satur-
day night. P-T lost to the
Lady Devils at Prague
Friday night. The week
began with an uncontested
44-17 win over the Stroud
Lady Tigers here last Tues-
day.
Against Okemah, the
Lady Demons shook off a
slow start with a late first
quarter run that helped put
away the game.
P-T led 5-4 with just
under five minutes left in
the first quarter before head
coach Jerry Burnett called
a timeout. Following the
30-second break, the Lady
Demons responded with a
17-5 run for a 22-10 lead.
Eight straight points
with six from Terri Krick
and the other two from
Bailey Wensler lifted the
P-T advantage to 20 points
at 30-10. Okemah broke the
String with its only bucket
before six more P-T points
were notched for a 36-12
halftime score.
The Lady Demons out-
scored Okemah 19-14 in
the second half as reserves
gained more varsity playing
time.
Wensler led P-T in scor-
ing with a season-high 17
points. Gorham followed
with 12.
Against Prague, the host
Lady Devils hit critical free
throws in the final seconds
of overtime to hold on to a
44-42 win and claim the 66
Conference regular season
championship.
With the score tied
38-38 after regulation, P-
T took the first lead on a
Hanna Runner layup with
3:26 left in overtime. P-T
had a chance to expand the
lead seconds later but Jeri
Adkism missed two free

The week started prom-
ising for the Perkins-Tryon
Demons but ended with a
pair of losses to close out
the 66 Conference portion
of the schedule last week.
It ended with a 63-56
loss to Okemah Saturday
night at the P-T Gymna-
sium. P-T lost its final
road regular season game
at Prague Friday night by
a 52-45 verdict. The week
started with a solid 42-31
home win over Stroud last
Tuesday.
Against Okemah, the
Demons erased a double-
digit lead early in the
second half to contend for
the win. The Panther, how-
ever, held on for the win.
P-T did take an early
4-2 lead after back-to-
back buckets from Garrett
Dollins and Cody Waitt.
Okemah followed with
a 12-3 run over a three-
minute span to claim a 14-
7 lead. The Panthers held
a 20-17 advantage at the
points at 34-24 with 2:30
left in the second quarter.
Five straight points from
Waitt closed the deficit to
single digits at 36-29 at
halftime.
An 8-1 run to start the
second half gave OHS its
largest lead of 13 points
at 43-30 with just over two
minutes expired in the third
quarter. The Demons used
the final two minutes for a
10-4 run that trimmed the
lead to 53-46 heading into
the fourth quarter.
The Demons managed to
close to within five points
on several occasions in the
fourth quarter but couldn't
pull any closer, which
allowed Okemah to gain
the win.
Kinzie led the Demons
with 20 points with Waitt
following with 16. <:
Last Friday's game at
Prague nearly mirrored the
Okemah contest. P-T found
itself with a double-digit
deficit but couldn't quite
pull out a win late.
The Demons trailed
quarter's end. by 10 early in the fourth

extended the lead to 10 See DEMONS Page B4
