In the first game of the doubleheader, Oakes cranked things up in the second and third quarters, outscoring the Lady Rebels 26-15 during that timespan. The Lady Tornadoes lead by 12 in the fourth, before EKM rallied to pull within six with under four minutes to go. The Lady Rebels would get no closer as Oakes earned their second win of the season.

The Lady Tornadoes (2-7 0-2 District 1) had a team high 17 points from Lydia Hansen, while Shelby Roney added another 10. EKM (4-4 0-0 District 5) was once again lead by Olivia Anderson with 12 points.

The last time these two teams played in December, Oakes was down 15-1, came back in the second half, but lost it in the end to the Rebels. This time was entirely different from start to finish.
