DUNCAN — Saturday night saw more playoff basketball for the smaller schools in the Stephens County area, with teams fighting for district titles in the process.
GIRLS
PLAINVIEW 61 COMANCHE 36
It was bound to be a tough task for the Comanche Lady Indians going up against No. 6 Plainview at PHS in the district championship.
Although there was some significant progress made by CHS as the Lady Indians were able to score 20 points in the first half against PHS.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to hold off the onslaught as Plainview eventually claimed a 61-36 victory over Comanche.
“I thought offensively to score 20 points in the first half against a state-ranked team was a step in the right direction for us,” Comanche coach Sean Hushbeck said. “Defensively we carried out our gameplan, but they (Plainview) had some other girls really step up for them.”
Stats and other information were not made available.
With the loss, Comanche drops into the consolation bracket which will see CHS face Jones (14-8) on Thursday Feb. 21 at 1:30 p.m. from Washington High School.
“Jones isn’t a bad team but they aren’t ranked,” Hushbeck said. “It’ll be a nice change compared to the competition we’ve been seeing the past couple of weeks.”

Against No. 10 Plainview, Comanche came out early on and held a 4-0 lead.
