The 2025 Sequoyah County Classic host Roland Lady Rangers repeated as champions with a 40-27 win over the archrival Muldrow Lady Bulldogs in Monday night’s title game at the Ranger Dome.

The Muldrow Bulldogs took the boys title with a 57-47 victory over the Central Tigers to win their first SCC title since 2022.

There were only four games that took place Monday on the final day of the county tournament, which was hampered by Thursday’s snowstorm which postponed action in the SCC on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

When the final day of action could not take place until Monday, it kept the Gore teams — which already had four games slated this week — and the Stigler squads from returning.

So, the Vian teams, which were to have faced Gore’s squads in the consolation title games, filled the voids left by the absences of the Stigler teams, who were to have met the Central Lady Tigers and the SCC host Roland Runnin’ Rangers in the third-place games.

Thus, it was somewhat of a combined third-place/consolation championship matchup in the first two games on Monday.

The Lady Tigers handled the Lady Wolverines 62-39, while the Runnin’ Rangers ran past the Wolverines 7648. The Central girls and the Roland boys received the third-place plaques.
