Sandy Creek's

boys basketball team went 1-2 in the region tournament and qualified for

the AAAA state tournament. They defeated Woodward Academy, 57-46, but

lost to Westlake, 74-60 and to Creekside, 60-49. All three games were

closer than the score indicates, but fatigue may have played a factor

in the two losses.
