The transfer that saved Norman

I’m sure when Norman girls high school basketball coach Matilda Mossman walked off the court tonight after Norman defeated Del City 60-50 to advance to the 6A state tournament, she thought something like “thank goodness for that transfer”.
The transfer of the Ramon sisters, who came to Norman from Mustang before the beginning of the season, has saved Norman’s season.
Lacy Ramon, the older of the two, scorched Del City for 25 points, 14 in the second half to make Norman the hottest 6A team entering the state tourney. She scored 23 in the regional final a week earlier.
Ramon has already won a state title in her sophomore year at Mustang, and went to the finals as a junior. Perhaps more important than her numbers is that experience and leadership.
If not for those Ramons, I say 6A No. 5 Norman wouldn’t have made it to that game, much less beat the No. 4 team by 10.
So, coach Mossman, I’ll say it for you. Thank goodness for that transfer.
