In the first meeting between Guthrie and Western Heights it was a 17-2 run that decided the game and in the second meeting, Friday at Guthrie High School, it was a 20-2 run that open the game for the BlueJays.

Guthrie opened the game with a 14-2 in the first 6:06 and would lead by 15 at the half, 32-17, but then Guthrie took off.
