PERKINS, Okla. – Following a win by the Ladybugs earlier in the day, the Alva Goldbugs made it a two-for-two afternoon in the regional consolation championship as they held off Perry, 60-52, at Perkins-Tryon High School on Monday.

The win set the Bugs first area appearance since the 2014-15 season. Much like that season, the Bugs lost its district game, before winning three straight in the loser’s bracket at regionals, to reach the area portion of the playoffs.

Alva improved its record to 15-12 this season, winning the last three after snapping its longest losing streak this decade on Friday....
