Ponca City Senior High School girls’ and boys’ varsity basketball teams have been given the opportunity of a lifetime! They have the privilege of playing their upcoming basketball games in Oklahoma State University’s Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater.
The games are slated for Friday, February 21 with the Ponca City Wildcats playing the Shawnee Wolves. The girls’ game starts at 6:30 p.m. with the boy’s game following at 8:00 p.m. In full “Wildcat Way” style, the Po-Hi Big Blue Band, Cheerleaders, and Po-Hi Steppers will be accompanying the teams.
Fans will enter the Arena at the southeast doors, and there is a map shown below and is also posted on the Ponca City School website at www.pcps.us, “Departments” “Athletics.” The student section will be located on the north end of the lower section next to the Big Blue Band. Gate prices for the games are $6 for adults, $4 for students (1st-12th) and adults over 55. Children younger than 1st grade are free.
The Ponca City Public School District is very thankful for this opportunity and would like to extend an invitation to everyone to be a part of this once in a lifetime event. Travel with the Wildcats to Stillwater to show your support.
