Heavener sweeps games at Wilburton

By CRAIG HALL

Heavener’s boys started strong and finished strong to complete a sweep of the two games Friday night at Wilburton in Black Diamond Conference play.

The Wolves started with a 17-0 run to open the game, allowed the Diggers to claw back into the game, then slammed the door down the stretch to capture a 53-36 victory.

Heavener’s girls dominated the opener over a struggling Wilburton team for a 39-20 win.

Heavener is back at action Tuesday at Talihina Tuesday.
