Imagine doing something that's never been done before.
Oakies were stuck trailing the Belton Pirates 19-23 at halftime Thursday night. The locker room was tense as a conference title lays on the line. By the end of the third quarter the girls were down 27-30, the fourth quarter would determine it all. The girls ended up taking the lead late in the fourth and with a couple free throws knocked down by '21
Irelynn West and '20
Paige Allen to secure the 41-33 win over Belton.
With this key win, the Oakies are now standing in first place in the Suburban White conference. Oak Park is squarely in the driver's seat, leading NKC by 1 game and spliting the head-to-head games with a key victory last week.
The next two games this week both matter a little bit more than most this season.
There are hundreds of Conference Champions each year, and tens of thousands who get to claim such a title….and, IF the Northmen win these next two matchups, they WILL claim a Conference Championship.
How is this any different than most???
This will be the first time EVER in Oak Park History that Girls Basketball will have won a Conference title.
Your Oakies take on Fort Osage at home tonight as this is a big conference match up. Oakies are looking to secure another win to accomplish what they've been working for all season.
