"Revenge is sweet," said the tall, slender, gray-haired
gentleman as he left the stands and walked across the basketball court
last night.
Revenge was, indeed, sweet for Fairview's
Yellowjackets, who had just defeated Watonga, 71-47, in the consolation
finals of the Class 2A Area I tournament and won a trip to next week's
state tournament.
The Jackets were savoring the win and
revenge since Watonga had been the team to send the Jackets to the losers
bracket in the first round of the regional tournament. The Jackets came
back and won four straight games to set up the rematch.
In
the rematch, the Jackets took no prisoners. They eliminated the turnovers
and cheap baskets that beat them before.
Fairview posted a
22-7 lead in the first quarter and maintained a 20-point margin
throughout the game.
Dillon Baldwin and Jared Penner
shared scoring honors with 21 points. Blake Fast had 12 while Matt Regier
had 11. Jarin Stafford added three points. Tyson Hiebert had two; and Logan Nightengale had one.
Fairview's high school boys basketball teams will see a familiar adversary in the first round of the state championship tournament Thursday.
The Jackets will face Chisholm at 3:30 p.m. at Midwest City High School's gym. The semifinals will be at Southern Nazarene University; the finals will be Saturday at State Fairgrounds Arena.
