WARR ACRES — Putnam City lost its first District 6A-1 game in a 66-59 loss to Deer Creek Tuesday (Jan. 14).

Sophomore Mar’Quell Robinson paced the Pirates with 17 points, six rebounds and five assists. Fellow sophomore Gabe Osborne added 16 points and senior JaColby Williams followed with 13 points.

“Very proud of these young men. Tough  day for me as I lost my grandma this morning,” Jackson said. “But, really proud of how we competed on both ends of the floor.”
