Owasso senior Jeff Bontrager led all scorers with 11 points and Dylan Croslin added eight. Bear Hawkins led the way for the Commandos with 10 points.

The Commandos took over after the break and led 28-22 at the end of the third period. The Rams finished strong, though, and outscored Cascia Hall 14-7 in the fourth quarter.

Owasso moves to 5-7 with the win, while the Commandos fall to 13-4.
