Watonga only played once during the past week, knocking off Oklahoma Bible with a 51-31 win.

They had two other games canceled because of COVID-19 reasons (at Blaine County rival Okeene and at Moreland).

The good news is that one win over Oklahoma Bible improved the girls record to 9-3 and vaulted them into the Top 20 in the Class 2A rankings.

The Lady Eagles are ranked No. 17.

They entered an important week with games Tuesday night at Canton (results unavailable as of press time) and then an important home game vs. No. 8-ranked Cashion on Friday and Carnegie on Saturday.
