Stillwater High School boys fall in third-place game

BIXBY, Okla. — A year ago, the Stillwater High School boys basketball team beat Springdale, Ark., to win the Bixby Tournament.

Saturday, Springdale got its revenge with a 64-50 win over the Pioneers in the third-place game.

“They were the better team, not much to it,” Stillwater coach Michael Davis said.

Rico Thompson led the Pioneers (3-2) with 17 points, while Carson Teel tacked on 12 points. Jared Dickey also scored 7 points and grabbed 9 rebounds in the loss.

“We didn’t shoot well,” Davis said. “We were 2 of 11 from 3 and 4 of 11 from the free-throw line. ... We’re young and we’re still trying to work out some things on defense, as well.”

The Pioneers will face Lawton Eisenhower Friday.

    “I love the high energy stuff,” he said. “Even though it’s country, being able to rock it up, distorted guitars and just seeing the crowd, feeding off of that.”
