What will it be - Oh See Us or OCS? My bet is Oh See Us - CELEBRATE! If not, we had the opportunity to compete with #1.

The #2 ranked Class 2A Pawnee Black Bears will walk into the BIG HOUSE on Saturday, March 11th at 7:30PM to tipoff against the #1 ranked Class 2A Oklahoma Christian School Trojans who most knew would be the billing for the FINALS. If you didn't know, the game will be broadcasted on 105.1 on your radio and on the internet at http://www.eteamradio.com/tripleplay.htm.

The Black Bears get back to the STATE TOURNAMENT; we will be playing the unranked Coalgate Wildcats on Thursday, March 9 at 7:00PM at Southern Nazarene University at 6729 NW 39th Expressway in Bethany; while the Lady Bears lose to Oklahoma Bible Academy Lady Trojans on Friday, March 3 at Cushing. The Lady Bears have two seniors, Ashtin Tiger and Kelsie Green - God bless you in your higher education endeavors.

TONIGHT, the Lady Bears and Black Bears were honored to participate in the 89er Conference All-Star game to be held in Blackwell - come support the Lady Bears!

The girls' game will tip off at 6:30pm followed by the boys' game at 8:00pm. Prior to each game, the All-Conference players will be recognized for their efforts.

The Pawnee trio of Kelsey Barlow, Whitney LeGrand, and Britney Morgan were named All-Conference plus Newkirk girls include Courtney Baldridge, Cheyanne Bay, Jamie Collyar, and Erin Sheik; Perry's duo of Ashley Mantooth and Brandie Sandy and Pawhuska's Rachel Smith.

One word describes Thursday night's Class 2A Area losers bracket showdown #13 Lady Bears vs the #9 Warner Lady Lions at Cushing High School gymnasium.

That's CONFIDENCE...when the Lady Bear's shine began to dim in the first half. What ever was said or not said in the locker room at halftime, ignited a spark and CONFIDENCE! Almost, like a dry well receiving a few trickles of water before the buckets were pouring in.

This is the girls high school playoffs and what team effort these Lady Bears' have accomplished down a tough road to the STATE TOURNAMENT. We are ALL hanging on for the ride.

The Lady Bears take on the Oklahoma Bible at 1:30PM who upset them in an overtime on our home court...while the Black Bears take the court at 8:00PM - #2 Pawnee vs. #3 Preston (Tulsa World rankings).

The Black Bears need one win to get back to the STATE TOURNAMENT while the Lady Bears must dig deep and pick up three wins in a row to get into the same seat - first on the list is Warner for Thursday; second is the winner of Oklahoma Bible Academy (loss in OT at Pawnee) vs Gore; third is the loser of the winner area bracket between Preston vs Dale.

Keiton exceeded 2,000 points in the Pawhuska game from a three points shot from top of the key - Keiton needed 12 points to tally 2,000 points for his high school career.

Pawnee will host District play against the Hominy Bucks (10-7) and Lady Bucks (3-12) at the Pawnee Nation Wellness Center on February 17th. In addition, the Bears will host the 1st round Regional on Thursday, February 22nd and head to St. Gregory University in Shawnee 23rd-24th for consolation and finals with Cushing being the Area Site on March 1st-3rd for the Bears road through the playoffs.

If the boys win, they will play the winner of Tonkawa Buccaneers (8-7) vs Oklahoma Bible Academy (7-6) and if they lose, they play the loser of the same match up. If the girls win, they will play the winner of Tonkawa Lady Buccaneers (7-8) vs Oklahoma Bible Academy Trojans (6-7) and if they lose, they play the loser of the same match up.

The Black Bears hosted the Yale Bulldogs (0-8) on Tuesday night. If you would have thought that the Bears would win - easy to yes! Not only do they get the win but included in the victory was a Pawnee High School scoring record (131 points) while the varsity saw just three quarters of play.
