The top two teams in class 5A boys basketball square off tonight in the finals of the Jenks Invitational.
The top ranked Tulsa Washington Hornets (11-0) upset host Jenks 47-39 in Friday night’s semi-finals. It was the first time Tulsa Washington beat Jenks in its last four attempts.
No. 2 Tulsa East Central (11-2), which won the Tournament of Champions earlier this season, edged Edmond Santa Fe 56-55 Friday. Santa Fe guard Nic Combs’ 19-foot shot was blocked as time expired.
The game will be televised on Cox channel 7 tonight at 8:30. Don’t stress, though, if you have plans. Something tells me we’ll see these two go at it again in, say, six weeks at the state tournament.
