Day Three
Guthrie 59, Douglass 67
Guthrie has played in the Titan Classic for three years
now and each year have placed in the top three in the deep, rich
talented field. Douglass gave the Jays a 67-59 loss in the
finals of the 2010 Titan Classic as heard on Guthrie Sports Page
Radio.
The loss drops the Jays to 10-5 and snapping their four
game winning streak, while Douglass improves to 16-0. Guthrie
won the Classic in 2008 and finish third in 2009. Senior Devon
Hall and junior Kentrell Brothers were named to the
All-Tournament team. Hall finished with 50 total points scored
in the three day tourney with 17 points each in the first two
days.
The Trojans, who are ranked No. 1 in the Class 4A rankings,
jumped out to a 5-0 lead before Guthrie would go on an 8-0 run
in the next 1:20. Douglass had a 15-13 edge after the first
quarter. The Trojans used a full court man-to-man and half court
trap to force the Jays into turnovers and forced shots
throughout the night, but Guthrie at times executed well against
the constant pressure by the athletic Trojan team.

Guthrie responded with 15 second quarter points to take a 28-24
lead to the half, but then that is when Douglass seem to get
over the top.
The Trojans scored 22 points in the third quarter on Thursday
versus Del City, Friday against Carl Albert, and again Saturday
night against the Jays while holding Guthrie to just 12 points
to take a 46-40 lead after three quarters.
Hall hit a shot to start the scoring in the fourth quarter to
pull his team within four, 46-42, but Douglass then went on
their own 8-0 run to push their lead up to 12, 54-42, with 6:12
to play. Guthrie could not pull any closer then five points,
57-52, with 2:31 left to play. Douglass took advantage of the
free throw line by going 19 of 29 and all coming in the second
half.
Day Two
Guthrie 48, Midwest City 45
The Guthrie BlueJays have advanced to the championship
game of the Carl Albert Invitational with an exciting, but
grinding game with the sixth ranked Class 6A Midwest City
Bombers.
A year ago, MWC won in double overtime over the Jays, 63-58, to
advance to the CA finals.
The Jays never had a lead at the end of the first three
quarters, but a 12-8 fourth quarter run proved to be the
difference. However, things did not look promising in the first
quarter.
Devon Hall led the Jays in scoring with 1 7 points and is on his
way to an all tournament team with 17 points in the win over
Ardmore. Kentrell Brothers added eight.

The Bombers got the Jays to play their
style of game by going up and down the court in a quick pace
game and it worked as MWC jumped out to a 13-5 lead in the first
5:24 and lead 15-7 after one.
The Jays tied the game at 18 with 4:47 to play before the half,
but MWC outscored the Jays 6-4 to take a 24-22 lead into
halftime.
Guthrie tied the game, again, at 28 and 29-all before taking a
brief lead of 31-29 with 3:35 to play in the third quarter, but
MWC went on an 8-5 run to lead 37-36 after three complete.
It was a back-and-forth fourth quarter as it was tied at 42 with
three minutes to play. Guthrie got the lead for good with :13 to
play and MWC's three point shot attempt was blocked into the
stands by senior Chauncey Dumas to preserve the win.
The first day of the Carl Albert
Invitational went much as expected on day one with Class 4A's
Douglass Trojans went to 14-0 with a 70-55 win over 6A's Del
City. Midwest City and Carl Albert had just as an easier time
with wins over Tulsa Hale and Millwood, respectively.
The game of the first day, as expected, was in the nightcap with
third ranked Ardmore and 10th ranked Jays.
Day One
Guthrie 65, Ardmore 55
Guthrie stormed out of the locker room by outscoring Ardmore
16-4 in the first quarter, but you knew the Tigers were not
done, as they came back in the second quarter to flip the
scoring output by scoring 22 points and holding the Jays to just
eight.
The Jays were led by their big men down low in senior Devon Hall
and B. J. McDonald. The duo combined for 33 points as Hall
finished with 17 points. Junior guard Kentrell Brothers also
scored in double digits with 14 and has averaged 19.3 points in
his last three games.
Ardmore trailed for majority of the first half, but led at the
break 26-24.

Guthrie much liked in the first quarter
started the third quarter with a spark by going on a 15-0 run in
the first 4:56 to open the game up at 39-26. Ardmore continued
to fight back, but the Jays held onto a 47-35 lead after the
first 24 minutes.
The Tigers pulled within six points twice at 49-43 and 56-50,
but Guthrie finished the game with a 9-5 run to secure their
third win in a row.
Guthrie improves to 9-4 this season and Ardmore (10-5) falls to
a 5A team for the first time this season. To view the upcoming

The Jays will take on Class 6A's Midwest City Bombers, who
defeated the Jays in the same second round game a season ago in
double overtime (63-58). In that game, Guthrie alum Donte'
Foster made national news by hitting a shot with his back to the
goal and made ESPN's Top 10 plays. To view the shot once more
