This weekend I covered a couple of high schools playoff basketball games. The first game was Douglass vs. Hilldale which wasn’t much really game. It was more like a practice. Douglass beat the breaks off Hilldale 82-38. I was happy for Douglass’s head coach Steven Alexander to see him be successful as a coach. It is also essential for Oklahoma City Public Schools to have some success in athletics. It has been a while since the Trojans have been victorious in basketball. The Eastside has its pride again.

On Friday, I went to see Edmond Santa Fe vs. Deer Creek. Deer Creek ended up beating the FE 59-47. The game was very emotional; this was the fourth time these teams have played each other this season. The loser would also be done for the season. Deer Creek has a nice young core with a bright future in 6A basketball in Oklahoma.
