YUKON – The Lady Patriots overcame a sluggish offensive start to beat the Lady Millers, 57-35, in a contest between the top two teams in Class 6A’s District 2.
If there was any rust after not playing Friday, Jan. 26 (due to Northwest Classen’s forfeit), it came on the offensive end for West.
“We started slow offensively but defensively we were able to pick up the slack,” Putnam City West coach Ja’Ron Jefferson said. “Defensively we gave ourselves a chance tonight.”
West (17-1) led by only four after one quarter (10-6), but opened the lead from that point.
Senior Caya Smith and sophomore Jayla Constant each scored 14 points in the win.
UP NEXT: The Lady Patriots return home Friday (Feb. 2) to meet Lawton in another district contest.
Tip-off is at 6 p.m.
“We only have a few games left until playoffs so we have to fine tune a few things!,” Jefferson said.

Deer Creek 54, Putnam City North 50
OKLAHOMA COUNTY – The Lady Antlers upset Putnam City North in a Class 6A District 1 contest.
“We didn’t come out with the same focus and intensity and it cost us,” Putnam City North coach Logan Martin said, “We didn’t make the adjustments we needed to when our shots from the perimeter weren’t falling.”
The Lady Panthers (14-4) also shot 52 percent from the free throw line (10-of-19) in the loss.
UP NEXT: North heads to Capitol Hill Friday (Feb. 2). Tip-off is at 6 p.m.

In the third quarter, Bartlesville built a seven-point lead only to see Putnam City go on a 7-0 run to tie the game. In the fourth, the Lady Pirates stayed relatively close, cutting the deficit to three points, but Bartlesville hit free throws in the final period for the win.
