The Nowata Ironmen have a do-or-die game against Chouteau on Friday night. The Ironmen are playing in their first area tournament since the 2018 season. Nowata is in the consolation bracket after falling 66-44 to Oklahoma Union in the regional finals on Saturday.

However, that loss could bode well for the Ironmen. A regional final loser has snagged one of the two Area II state tournament bids each of the last three seasons. Nowata will have to win three consecutive games to do it. The Ironmen face a Chouteau squad that is the only unranked team that will head to Fort Gibson for the Area II tournament. Nowata head coach Gary Hollingshed talks about the area.

Nowata won postseason games against Commerce and No. 12 Hulbert last week. The Ironmen are undefeated this year against opponents from outside Nowata County. Nowata is seeking its first state tournament appearance since 1984.
