Wrapping up 6A…

Well, we’ve reached the end. And this will be the shortest one of them all because I didn’t see one minute of any 6A girls games and only caught the semifinals of the boys.
Boys champion: Putnam City, 72-48 vs. Jenks
Girls champion: Del City, 29-27 vs. Midwest City
Del City won a big game, and I wasn’t even there. As you know, I’ve joked about how the Eagles have played their best with The Boneman in attendance.
A big win vs. Union in the Carl Albert finals and an even bigger win vs. Norman in the area final.
But this was the sweetest of them all, beating their rivals and ending MWC’s hope for an undefeated season.
Anyone who was there, how did the two best teams in 6A play a game that couldn’t even get to 30 points?
I do hope to watch this on Fox Sports eventually, if only because I’ve never seen Mariah White or Richa Jackson of the Bombers play. And wouldn’t mind seeing DC’s Toni Young and Desiree Jeffries one more time.
The boys, well, Brandon Chatmon’s videos have said all that needs to be said about that.
All I’ll add is how I’m already gushing about Tre Payne. He’s a freshman who doesn’t look like it. And he loves to play defense. It’s so tough, sometimes, to get kids to play both ways. Not Tre.
So that wraps up the basketball season, to spring we go. If you remember from last year, I’ll be your man on the tennis courts. Can anyone take down the McGuinness girls? Is there a favorite in the boys? Looking forward to another great tennis season.
And finally, here are all three of Brandon Chatmon’s All-Access videos with Putnam City. Special thanks to the Pirates for the access.
