“Losing isn’t the best feeling in the world. It stinks but we gotta keep trying and playing. One thing we need to work on is going 100 percent at the beginning of the game.”
The first loss carried over into the following game, when the Demons fell to the Lawton Central Cougars. The season ended Wednesday, and the eighth-grade was 6-2. The seventh-grade season ended with a record of 5-3.
