Sapulpa unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They were dealt a 66-35 defeat at the hands of the Broken Arrow Tigers on Tuesday. The Chieftains were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Tigers apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in February of 2023.
Sapulpa lost despite a true team effort on the offense, the best among them being Wrigley Adkisson, who posted ten points along with two steals. The team also got some help courtesy of Lou Chaney, who earned ten points in addition to two steals.
Even though they lost, Sapulpa smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with ten offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least nine offensive rebounds in four consecutive games dating back to last season.
Broken Arrow had a senior duo take command as McKenzie Mathurin scored 17 points plus six rebounds and three steals and Macy Marraccini almost dropped a double-double on ten points and nine rebounds. Taryn Jacobs was another key player, posting four points plus five rebounds and four blocks.
Sapulpa will take on Choctaw in a tournament on Thursday. Broken Arrow has already played their next contest (against Sapulpa), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
