Announcement:
On Saturday, January 17, the High School Academic Team competed in the Class 4A Area II Academic Bowl tournament to advance to the Class 4A State Academic Bowl Tournament. As District and Regional Champions, Lone Grove was the number one seed and advanced through the first round with 220-140 win over Pauls Valley.
In the 2nd round Lone Grove lost by one question, 180-190 to Idabel. The loss amounted to a last second buzzer beater in basketball or a last second field goal in football; the games was tied, when Idabel got the final question correct with time expiring. That loss put Lone Grove in the loser's bracket, where Lone Grove advanced with wins over Jones, 200-140, and Harrah 270 -250.
This set up a rematch with Idabel, in a winner take all, winner goes to state, game. This time it wasn't even close, Lone Grove had hit a stride in the last two games and easily handled Idabel, winning 240 to 70.
Teams in the tournament included Lone Grove, Plainview, Bethel, Harrah, Jones, Pauls Valley, Idabel, and Madill. The team was led by Senior-Captain Caleb Dethloff. Caleb averaged 103 points per game in the
Team members: Caleb Dethloff, Aaron Edge, Bailee Dethloff, Jaden Love, Josh Denison, Megan Sinkler, Keaton Mitchell, Amy Hicks, Jonathon Daniels, Kailey DeSivo, and Regan Lovett.
Lone Grove will now play at 10 am. in the State Academic Bowl Tournament at Redlands Community College in El Reno; time and opponent to be determined. This is Lone Groves 2nd trip to the State Tournament in 4 years.
