Apache boys won their second game in the Class 2A Area I Tournament Friday in another low-scoring victory that put the Warriors within one victory of a State Tournament berth.
Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. the Warriors will return to the Chickasha High School Gym to meet Hobart, which lost in the title game last night to top-ranked Dale, 69-33.
Thursday the Warriors edged Latta, 41-37, and Friday afternoon they edged Davis, 31-29, in a game Apache bolted out to a 12-0 lead before Davis finally got going offensively. From there it was tight but down the stretch the Warriors made just enough shots to get the win which wasn’t sealed until a Davis turnover in the final eight seconds have Apache the ball while the clock wound down.
The Warriors could have made their win much easier but they missed numerous free throws until Houston Herrin hit 1-of-2 and then Dom Scott hit one to arrange the final score.
The news wasn’t as good for the Walters girls who were locked in a defensive struggle with Vanoss which pulled out a 30-20 victory.
The Walters boys were eliminated Thursday afternoon by Davis, 50-42.

The ‘Darko girls will face Glenpool at 6 p.m. at Henryetta High and the boys will tangle with Sequoyah-Claremore around 7:30 p.m..
