The Bethel Wildcats claimed the regional championship title March 1.
The Wildcats faced off versus Hugo at Atoka for their opening match of regionals and won by a 19-point margin, 55-36.
The solid win over Hugo set them up for their Monday matchup against Kingston in the regional final, played at Prague.
Bethel’s victory against Kingston was by a much narrower margin, winning 51-48.
Bethel’s #12, John Gordon, led the Wildcats on the scoreboards, netting 13 points, followed by #34, Bronc Robbins, with 12, and DJ Whitten (#21) with 11.
Bray Bussell scored 6, RJ Morris scored 5, and Jace Stewart and Garren Sheppard brought in 2 points each for the win.
Kingston’s #23, Brady Brister, was the game’s overall top scorer, landing 20 points, but was the only Kingston player to score in the double digits during the match.
