Jenks tournament, Day 2 close to wrapping up
Jenks’ girls hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer but it wasn’t enough as Kickapoo (Mo.) held on for a 59-58 win in the second girls semifinal.
Jenks’ Tia McGee was particularly impressive, scoring more than 20 points in the loss. Jenks led much of the way before the Lady Chiefs closed the gap throughout the third and fourth quarters.
Right now, Jenks has an early lead over Class 5A No. 1 Tulsa Washington. The Hornets are in their first year playing under former TU standout and short-term NBA player Shea Seals.
Today has brought back some memories for me. When I worked in Muskogee several years ago, I covered a couple games here at Jenks, and also covered Connors State College basketball. Former CSC standout Junior Blount, who is from Tulsa, is now an assistant under Seals. It’s also not the first time I’ve covered Kickapoo (Mo.). The Lady Chiefs played in the Tournament of Champions in Fort Smith, Ark., when I worked in the border town. Arkansas also had an assistant coach watching the Midwest City-Stillwater girls semifinal earlier in the day.
EDIT: I’ve been getting Junior Blount and Junior Amous confused for a long time.
