Lady Bronchos Basketball State Tournament Central

The Bethany Lady Bronchos traveled to Okmulgee this past weekend and won their second straight 4A Area Basketball Championship. With this win, the Lady Bronchos will head back to the 4A State Tournament this week with a shot to repeat as the 4A State Champions. Last year the Lady Bronchos defeated top ranked Lincoln Christian in the championship game. This year, it is Bethany who go into the state tournament as the top ranked team in the state and they have been all year. The Lady Bronchos have been spectacular on the season. The only loss inside of the state of Oklahoma was a five point defeat at the hands of top ranked and defending 6A state champion Edmond North. The Lady Bronchos defeated Stilwell (4A-#5) 72-45 in the Area Championship Game to advance to this point. Make plans to join us all at "The Big House" on the campus of the Oklahoma City Fairgrounds for the State Tournament.

In the Quarterfinals on Thursday, March 7 at 9:00 AM, the Lady Bronchos will have a rematch with Western Conference rival Tuttle (4A-#8), who the Lady Bronchos defeated 70-41 in early January. Should the Lady Bronchos advance they will play in the semi-finals on Friday, March 8 also at 9:00 AM. Finally, the State Championship game will take place at 10:00 AM on Saturday, March 9.
