TULSA, Oklahoma - The final 5A girls quarterfinal featured a pair of teams that have faced some ups and downs this year.

In the end, however, Booker T. Washington held on for a 47-43 win and advanced to the next round, while Carl Albert was sent packing.

The Lady Titans and Lady Hornets played a very close game. The two teams went back and forth throughout the first half. But late in the third quarter, BTW got hot. Early in the fourth, the Lady Hornets had expanded their lead to 41-28. Carl Albert did close the gap down the stretch, but the Lady Hornets held on to pick up the victory.
