McLoud had to skate by with only a three-point margin when they last took the court, which might have inspired the 24-point drubbing they dealt Harrah on Friday. The McLoud Redskins put the hurt on the Harrah Panthers with a sharp 69-45 win. Given the Redskins' advantage in MaxPreps' Oklahoma basketball rankings (they are ranked 63rd, while the Panthers are ranked 418th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
McLoud's victory was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Bryce Cowns, who went 10 of 19 on his way to 27 points along with seven boards and three steals.
