Millwood blocks P-T
path to state tourney
By Rick Lomenick
Journal Sports Editor
CUSHING -Per-
kins-Tryon's attempt for
an 11 th state tournament
appearance was dashed
Monday as the Oklahoma
City Millwood Lady Fal-
cons held off the Lady
Demons for a 46-36 win in
the Class 3A area tourna-
ment consolation finals at
Cushing High School.
P-T finishes the season
with a 23-6 record. It was
also the final game for
seniors Bailee Hall, Karly
Winn, Rylee Craycraft, and
Bailey Wensler who were
part of the recent success
in the program. Millwood
moves on to the state tour-
nament that began today.
As a team, Millwood sty-
mied P-T with their speed
and athleticism, Defen-
sively, MHS made it diffi-
cult for P-T to establish an
inside game as well over 10
blocked shots were notched
by the Lady Falcons. Tran-
sition baskets and offensive
patience also helped the
Lady 'Falcons.
Millwood raced to a 10-0
lead in the first five min-
utes of the game. But P-T
responded with eight unan-
swered points from Cray-
craft, Hall, Brianna Hobbs,
and Ericka Stevenson to
trim the deficit to 10-8 at
the end of the frame.
The momentum contin-
ued with a 5-2 run to start
the second quarter with free
throws from Craycraft and
Stevenson and a bucket
from Hall to give P-T its
only lead of the game at
13-12. Then the Lady Fal-
cons took over. Millwood
closed out the half with a
12-2 run with mostly transi-
tion baskets to take a 24-15
lead at halftime.
After a low scoring third
quarter that kept Millwood
in the lead, the Lady Fal-
cons essentially put the
game away with a 9-3 run
in the first four minutes of
the fourth quarter to forge a
38-24 lead. Hobbs hit a trey
to begin the quarter and that
pulled P-T to within five at
29-24.
Millwood used free
throw shooting in the final
two minutes to hold off the
Lady Demons for the win.
Stevenson and Hobbs
notched 8 points each to
lead P-T in scoring.
The Lady Demons
reached the consolation
finals with a 56-42 win over
Heritage Hall last Saturday
afternoon.
P-T broke a 27-27 half-
time tie with a huge second
half enroute for the win.
The Lady Demons out-
scored Heritage Hall 17-8
in the third quarter to forge
a 44-35 advantage. Wensler
scored 10 of her game-high
25 points in the frame with
a pair of three-point goals
and a perfect 4-for-4 from
the free throw line.
