Lady Demons
win regionals;
state tourney
1 game away

OKMULGEE- The Per-
kins-Tryon Lady Demons
are within a game of reach-
ing the Class 4A state tour-
nament again following last
weekend's regional tourna-
ment sweep. It culminated
with a 47-40 win over the
Byng Lady Pirates Saturday
night at' Okmulgee.
P-T (22:4) will face a
familiar foe in the Class
4A Area III champion-
ship Friday night at Sand
Springs High School. The
Lady Demons will play the
Vinita Lady Hornets for
the area title and berth in
the state tournament. Tip
time is set for 6:30 p.m.
A loss by either team
will move them to the area
consolation championship
game at 6:30 p.m. Saturday,
also at Sand Springs.
The Lady Demons
used a key third quarter
surge that led to the win
over Byng, which was the
second time this season the
two teams faced each other.
The first encounter was in
the third place game of the
CD Warehouse Classic in
Bethel in early January.
P-T trailed 18-17 at
halftime. Jeri Adkism hit
her fourth three-point goal
to put the Lady Demons up
20-18. Byng followed with
an inside bucket to force a
20-20 tie. Then came the
game-changing run for
P-T.
Adkism drained her fifth
trey to spark a 12-2 run
against the Lady Pirates'
zone defense. Three of the
rally's buckets came while
penetrating the zone by
Shelby Stansberry, Bailey
Wensler, and Hanna
Runner. Stansberry added
a bucket from beyond the
three-point arc as part of
the surge that gave P-T a
32-22 advantage entering
the fourth quarter.

Seminole ousts

OKMULGEE - After
splitting the two previous
games between the 66 Con-
ference members, it was the
Seminole Chieftains that
claimed the season series
over Perkins-Tryon on an
season with a 15-11 record,
from further post-season
action.
The Demons lost in
the first round of regional
action last Thursday night
to the host Purple Pirates at
Bristow, 42-32.
Against Seminole, the
even bigger stage Friday lead flip-flopped during
afternoon at Okmulgee
High School.
SHS surged in the
second half to gain a 52-
43 win over the Demons
in the Class 4A regional
tournament consolation
semifinals. The loss elimi-
nated P-T, who finished the
much of the first quarter
until a five-point run sup-
plied by Cody Waitt gave
the Demons a 17-13 lead
with just under a minute
remaining. A late Semi-
nole bucket created a 17-

OKLAHOMA CITY
- Perkins-Tryon's two
wrestlers finished the Class
3A state wrestling tourna-
ment with a 1-2 mark at the
State Fair Arena.
Junior Brett Cheary and
sophomore Blake Avery
represented the program
that had its challenges
this season. This was the
third straight year P-T sent
matmen to the state event
and 12 out of the last 13
years dating back to 2000.
This was Avery's second
straight year to qualify and
he gained a bit more suc-
cess than that of his fresh-
man season. Avery lost
his opening round match
Friday morning at 126
pounds to eventual state
champion Matt Manley by
a second period pin.
Avery bounced back in
the consolation round later
Friday. He earned a 3-2
