DUNCAN — It could have been a disaster when the Duncan Lady Demons had their seven-game win streak snapped in overtime at Lawton. Instead, it has turned out to be little more than a hiccup.

The Lady Demons are on a roll once again, following Tuesday’s victory over No. 10 Altus with a dominant 68-37 victory over the visiting Ardmore Lady Tigers on Friday.

“It was a big night. My senior girls wanted to go out strong,” said Duncan’s Andrew McClung, who had seven seniors say goodbye to Duncan’s gym on. “They wanted to finish strong on their final home game. They know we won’t be playing again in Duncan the rest of the year and they did well.”

Despite jumping out to a 23-6 lead in the first quarter, the Lady Demons found themselves clinging to a 28-23 lead with less than two minutes to go in the first half.

Duncan (16-7), which was up 32-23 at halftime, buried the Lady Tigers (1-20) in the third quarter, outscoring them 17-4 to go up 49-27.

“The other night Ardmore played Carl Albert within 13 and they were actually within four points in the fourth quarter, so we knew Ardmore has been playing with good teams, even if their record doesn’t show it,” McClung said. “Teams make runs in every game. ... We told them in the locker room to stay calm and do what they do best, which is defend and run, and we started doing that and our defense spurred our offense.”

Senior forward D’Shala Culberson paced Duncan with 17 points, while senior guard Britton Scott had 15 and her twin sister Brooklyn Scott had 11. Senior guard Hannah Allen finished with eight points, senior center Jamesia Milton had six, junior Jamie Carberry and freshman Tori Paz had four points apiece and senior guard Dani Jo St. Clair added three points.

The Lady Demons will be off until Feb. 23, when they will travel to Deer Creek to face Western Heights in the first round of the region tournament.

Cards win Jess Welch title
Even though Duncan experienced a slight shower Sunday morning, it wasn’t enough to halt the final day of the Jess Welch Memorial Tournament at Abe Raizen Park.
In the championship of the 10-&-under division, it was an all-Duncan final between the Cardinals and Yankees, both of which survived semifinal matchups against teams from outside of Stephens County to advance earlier in the day.
Four runs in each of the first three innings proved to be too much for the Yankees to handle as the red birds took home the championship with a 15-0 victory in four innings.
