Sophomore Journey Armstead led all scorers with 16 points, followed by freshman Hailey Jackson with a career-high 14 points and a career-high 12 rebounds for her first double-double. Jade Shrum put up 11 and Madison Burris had 10 to put four Sandites in double digits.
The Sandites scored the first eight points of the game before the Defenders rallied back with eight of their own. Green Country never led in the game, but tied it three times in the first quarter before the Sandites went on a nine-point run for a 20-11 lead.
Jackson and Shrum rattled off five-straight to start the second period and took their first double-digit lead at 25-15. The second period saw the Sandites’ best defensive effort, only giving up seven points for a 36-22 locker room advantage.
The third and fourth periods were fairly even, but the Sandites won both despite playing mostly backups. All fifteen available Sandites saw extensive action and nine made their way into the score book. Raegan Padilla remained absent due to illness.
Emily Prather paced the Defenders with 15 points, followed by Kana Rackley with 11 and Ashley Phelan with 10.
Sand Springs will play No. 12 Edmond Memorial (6-3) Saturday at 6:30 p.m. in the Championship finals. The Sandites are looking for their second gold ball of the season after wining the Bishop Kelley Invitational two weeks ago. The Bulldogs are making their first finals appearance after placing fourth at the Bixby Invitational. Green Country will play for third place against the Oklahoma City Storm (10-7).
