OKLAHOMA CITY – It had been on Cam Parker’s mind for almost a year.
When he and his Crossings Christian squad lost to Oklahoma Christian School on Jan. 27, 2023, it was a defeat the junior post could not shake.
Friday night, Parker and the Knights finally got their shot at redemption. The only difference this time was the contest was on their home court and that seemed to be the boost they needed as Class 5A No. 4 ranked Crossings Christian knocked off 3A No. 1 Oklahoma Christian School , 67-56, in front of a packed and raucous house.
“We were itching for it,” Parker said. “As soon as that game ended, I was itching to play them again.
“I marked this one on my calendar. Everybody’s been talking about it all week. We really wanted this one.”
The loss was only the second of the season for the Saints (15-2). The other came to 2A No. 1 Dale in early December.
