Cara and Kaitlen play for the Lady Warriors, who are ranked No. 2 in their division, with a record of 20-1.

The Lady Warriors defeated three competing teams, including a team ranked No. 4 in the division, to become the champions of the Heart of Oklahoma Tournament.

Both the boys’ and girls’ teams are made up of 75 percent Native Americans.
