On Wed. December 16th, Oak Creek Ranch School played a GREAT game against rival American Heritage of Cottonwood. Our team learned a new lesson in competitive sports...how to come back when you’re behind! Trailing 12 to 18 at the half and 24 to 28 at the end of the 3rd quarter, the Wildcats battled back and finally won the game by a score of 40 to 35. High scorers for OCRS were: 6'6" Jason L. with 12 points and 10 rebounds and players Greg N. and Charles J. with 8 points each. Coach Imler used his bench wisely, subbing all 10 players in and out of the game to keep them fresh for the last quarter. Tessa M., OCRS only female player scored 2 points in the win. With 9 games remaining after the Christmas break, the Wildcats are on the right track for a shot at post season play in the N.A.A.A. league finals.In the second game of the basketball season, Oak Creek Ranch School soundly defeated rival Rimrock High School with a score of 50 to 37.
