The Okeene Whippets will challenge the Covington-Douglas Wildcats at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
Okeene is probably headed into the match with a chip on their shoulder considering Fairview just ended the team's three-game winning streak on Friday. They had to suffer through a 74-16 loss at the hands of the Yellowjackets. While losing is never fun, the Whippets can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Oklahoma basketball rankings (they are ranked 303rd, while the Yellowjackets are ranked 74th).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Covington-Douglas). They blew past Cimarron, posting a 61-21 win. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
