It was tough to find the best player on the McAlester team. Such a balanced bunch, that it’s not really about having a star or putting up big numbers.

But it was about winning.

The Buffs beat No. 1 Carl Albert, No. 2 Tulsa Memorial and No. 3 Tulsa East Central in taking home a 49-45 victory for the title on Saturday.

Crystal Robinson’s one year at McAlester is a memorable one. Good luck to her at Murray State.
