Got it. I will let Dick Enberg know so he gets it right in the future as well. Back to the game, it was a great ending with 8 points scored in the last .7 of the game.
The entire day was amazing. There were 6 games played. The Class 3A boys final featured the state's all time scoring leader, Rotnei Clarke from Verdigris who is going to Arkansas next year. The Class 2A boys game featured the number two scoring leader in state history, Keiton Page from Pawnee who is going to Oklahoma State. Keiton had 54 points and 13 assist in Pawnee's win. He set state tournament scoring records for points in a tournament (138 in 3 games), career points in the state tournament (369 in 10 games) and most points in a championship game with 54. He had 53 last year in a semi-final game and didn't play in the 4th quarter. Rotnei Clarke had 60 last year in a first round win. Keiton also set state records for points in one season with 1287 (29 games) and scoring average for one season at 44.379.
The Class 3A Girls final had one team going for their 5th straight state title which would have been a state record for girls, but they got beat. The Class 2A Boys final had a team playing for their 4th straight state title which would have been a state record for boys, but they got beat by Keiton Page's team. In the Class 4A Boys game, McGuinness won their 3rd straight state championship. Their best player is 6'10" Daniel Orton who shattered a backboard earlier in the season with Billy Donovan in the crowd. McGuinness has now won 3 straight basketball state titles and 2 straight in football.
