History was made last Friday as the Oasis Academy girls' basketball team competed in the NIAA 2A State Tournament at Wooster High School in Reno, Nevada. It marked the first time in school history that Oasis Academy qualified for the state tournament — a milestone achievement for the growing program.
The Oasis Academy Bighorns earned their state berth after finishing runner-up in the regional tournament, capping off a breakthrough season filled with determination and steady improvement. The team finished the regular season with a 13-11 record.
Facing a tough Lincoln County squad, Oasis battled throughout the contest but ultimately fell 62-34.
Oasis was led offensively by Emma Lewis with 8 points, Kiera McCoy with 7, and Kaylee Craig with 6. The trio helped keep the Bighorns competitive, showing poise against a seasoned Lincoln County defense.
Leadership has been a cornerstone of the team’s success this season. Seniors Grace Laca and Dahlila Creer guided the Bighorns both on and off the court, setting the tone with their work ethic, resilience, and commitment to building a strong team culture.
The Bighorns’ historic state appearance signals a promising future. For a program that had never before reached the state tournament, simply stepping onto the court in Reno was a victory in itself — and a moment the players, coaches, and school community will not soon forget.
