GIRLS BASKETBALL: Hartshorne advances to regional finals
Feb. 26—The Lady Miners are heading to the finals.
After a strong showing to take a district title win in their final game at the Hartshorne Event Center, the Lady Miners faced off against Konawa in the opening round of the regional tournament on Thursday, notching a 79-47 win to advance to the tournament finals.
Hartshorne wasted no time in getting its offense rolling, and quickly jumped out into the lead. They stayed aggressive on the offensive end, while forming a formidable force defensively — leading to a 48-20 lead at the half.
On the other side of the locker room visit, the Lady Miners continued the momentum from the first half. They wouldn't be denied from reaching their next goal, and exploded on offense once again to seal the dominant win.
Hartshorne will next face off against Oklahoma Christian in the Class 2A Regional A finals on Saturday at 6 p.m. at Porter.
