Nowata Wins Northeast Valley Conference
The Nowata Ironmen got a gritty win over a tough Oklahoma Union squad in a game that was not separated by double digits until the fourth quarter. A lower scoring affair in this one as the Ironmen came out on top 41-33. First quarter started out slow, only 11 combined points at 6-5 in favor OKU. 2nd quarter would be all Nowata as they would go up 18-13 at the half.
Second half would be more of the same, close battle as a 4-4 stalemate in the third quarter made it 22-17 heading into the final frame. Nowata would eventually take over in the fourth, pushing it to 10 with this two handed slam from Yamarion Cole.
Ironmen win 41-33 and capture the Northeast Valley Conference Championship. Chelo Prince came up huge for his Ironmen tonight and had a season-high in seven total points, with 5 of them coming from the charity stripe in the fourth to help Nowata to the W.
Prince talks about the night and winning the conference.
