Brenna Green had six of her points in the final frame. Mikah Hartsfield's layup off of a missed free throw gave Madill a 43-37 advantage with 2:15 remaining in the game. Sweat's three-pointer with 4:18 to go in the contest propelled Madill into the lead at 36-35. The Wildcats battled to a 34-32 lead at halftime, but were eventually outdistanced in the second half half by the Indians in a 68-54 loss. Two Madill players scored in double figures. Joe Avery led with 23 points and Samuel Bond collected 17 points. Comanche college-prospect Jacob Hammond was a presence in the paint. He accounted for 23 of Comanche's points.
