The Buffaloes recorded a final team score of 315, setting up a tie with Claremore. But the Buffs won the tiebreaker, securing the second place finish. Cascia Hall earned first place with a 289, Tahlequah took fourth with a 322, Collinsville came in fifth with a 332, and Muskogee rounded out the top six heading to state with a 336.
