Steers complete Mineral Wells doubleheader sweep

All four playoff spots in 5-4A have been accounted for and the battle for seeds 2-4 is underway. The Steers improved positioning in third place Friday night with a 69-42 win on senior night Friday at Graham High School. The win followed the Lady Blues 72-31 win earlier in the evening.

Hirschi has already clinched the district championship. This leaves Burkburnett, Graham and Iowa Park to battle for seeding when the playoffs begin in less than two weeks.

The Steers jumped ahead early and looked to control the whole game. Daniel Gilbertson scored nine of his team’s 18 points as the Steers stampeded ahead early on. Hunter Lanham added a pair of baskets for four points.
