Back from watching all four semifinal games at the Sequoyah County Tournament. A couple of big developments on the boys' side:
Sallisaw beat Roland, 38-34, breaking the Rangers' five-year stranglehold on winning the SCT title.
Muldrow upset top-seeded Vian, 57-56. Bulldogs were up by 15 in the second half before Wolverines rallied. Fourth quarter was a back-and-forth affair. Muldrow took the lead in the final seconds and Vian missed a long-range 3 at the buzzer.
On the girls' side, Sallisaw beat Muldrow by eight and Roland beat Vian by 11.
So in Saturday's championship games, it will be Sallisaw and Roland for the girls title and Sallisaw and Muldrow for the boys. Interesting fact: Sallisaw has never won the SCT, boys or girls, even though it's the biggest school in the county and the tournament is in its ninth season.
