BY JIM MISUNAS jmisunas@gbtribune.com DODGE CITY — Central Plains outscored Frankfort 10-0 in overtime for a 54-44 quarterfinal victory in the 1A Division 1 basketball quarterfinals. Brodie Crites, Camden Stiles and Aiden Hekele combined for 10 overtime points. "By far, that's my favorite win as a coach because Frankfort is the best team we've beaten," said Central Plains coach Michael Ryan. "Our guys stepped up and made free throws when we needed them." Crites scored 23 points and Stiles added 16 points. Both teams scored 27 points on 3-pointers. The Oilers converted 9 of 17 on 3-pointers to match Frankfort's 9 of 24 shooting. Frankfort's Wes Anderson drilled a half-dozen 3-pointers and scored 22 points, Tyler Smith added 12 points. Central Plains trailed 43-39 in the fourth quarter after Frankfort converted four consecutive 3-pointers. Crites scored the Oilers' final five points in regulation for a 44-44 tie after four quarters. Frankfort sparkplug Wes Anderson missed a chance for a 4-point lead on a missed free throw. Crites followed with a free throw and a rebound basket for a 44-44 tie. "We kept our confidence. It wasn't time to panic," Ryan said. The Oilers had maintained control until Anderson and Smith combined for five second-half 3-pointers for a 43-39 lead. The Panthers missed a chance for the game-winning shot in regulation when Carter Olson traveled. Anderson drilled a trio of 3-pointers to spark the Panthers to a 13-3 lead after one quarter. The Oilers started 1 for 9 from the field. Crites hit a pair of 3-pointers and Stiles hit a 3-pointer and three free throws off a foul for a 22-19 halftime lead. Ryan's Oilers played a calculated gamble playing a 2-3 zone defense that protected the rim and allowed the Panthers to fire from 3-point range. The Oilers scored 27 points from the perimeter and 27 points on free throws and 2-pointers. "Frankfort had an athletic team that plays a physical style and attacks the rim. We wanted to protect the paint," Ryan said. "We did a good job defensively. They're good shooters, so we knew they'd make some shots. Fortunately, we made some 3-pointers of our own to match them. We were fine with that option."
