Third time is a charm for Choctaw as PC is eliminated
There is an old saying that says beating a team three straight times in a season is the hardest thing to do in sports.
On Saturday, Choctaw and Putnam City met in the 6A Girls Area Consolation Finals. At stake was a berth in the 6A State championship bracket.
And, yes, it was the third meeting of the two teams this season. The PC Lady Pirates claimed the first two, but fell short on Saturday in Harrah.
Putnam City held the early advantage and led into the third period, but Choctaw came to life and out-scored PC, 16-9.
The Lady Pirates could not overcome Choctaw Lady Jackets in the final eight minutes and lost, 51-48.
The loss ended a spectacular season for Putnam City.
Choctaw will meet No. 1 Sapulpa on Thursday at the Ford Center.
