Jays avoid Ardmore winless with rally in fourth quarter

The Guthrie boys basketball team did not want to go 0-for-3 in the Ardmore Holiday Festival and thanks to a fourth quarter rally they didn’t.

The Jays used a 12-4 fourth quarter run to escape Southeast 45-40 in the seventh place game Thursday afternoon at the Ardmore middle school.

Sophomore guard JT McFadden scored a career high 15 points for the Jays, who will return back to action next with a home, conference game against Noble on Tuesday.

The Spartans held leads at the end of each of the first three-quarters. Guthrie improves to 3-2 overall after starting the tournament with back-to-back losses to 6A schools (Yukon and Midwest City).
