Much more on this game Saturday in the SMQ.

I take it back. Lawton will have the wind in the fourth quarter. This quarter will be crucial for the Huskies then with the way this one has gone.

8:45 – If I knew directions, I’d tell you when the wind is blowing thataway, the teams are scoring. All 30 points came to the team with the wind. Lawton chalked up 14 in the first quarter before the Huskies answered with 16 in the second.
