Tuesday's High School Girls Basketball Roundup

February 9, 2012

HEAVENER — In December, the Heavener Lady Wolves had to rally late to earn a come-from-behind win over the Pocola Lady Indians at the Pocola Gym. There was no comeback needed for them Tuesday night at the Heavener Gym as the Lady Wolves pretty much led start to finish in a 55-32 victory over the Lady Indians.
The Lady Wolves doubled up the Lady Indians in the opening period by a count of 8-4 en route to an 18-11 halftime lead.
But in the third quarter, Heavener put distance between itself and Pocola with a 17-7 period to take a 35-18 lead into the final quarter.

Though Oklahoma's popular archery hunting seasons for species like deer, black bear and antelope are done for the 2011-12 season, some might say the state is still in the thick of archery season — at least if you are involved with the Oklahoma National Archery in the Schools Program.
