It’s hard to beat the Central Plains Lady Oilers. Consider:

• They have won seven consecutive state championships (5, 2A and 2, 1A)

• State record of 138 consecutive wins going into the 2021-22 season.

• All-time state winning percentage of 92 percent.

• Nine consecutive league titles.

The Lady Oilers return two starters from this past season — Kassidy Nixon, 5-9 senior guard who averages 10 points a game and 4.6 steals, and Brynna Hammeke, 5-8 junior guard who averages 20.2 points and 4.8 rebounds.

Six other Lady Oilers have varsity minutes. “We graduated three starters off of last year’s team,” said Pat Stiles, who is in his 10th year as head coach.

“We return two starters and six players with some varsity experience which should give us more depth. We will take one practice, one game at a time and continue to keep working to get better, with the Win the Day attitude.”
