9/9/77 - Stilwell beats Sallisaw at James Bradley Athletic Park. It stands today as
the last time the Indians have beaten the
Diamonds.

**********************************

As was the case in 1955 and 1971, the only other years Stilwell made the playoffs, they would face the eventual State-Runner Up.
This streak would be broken in 1980 when Sallisaw failed to finish second. No, no, the Black Diamonds went on to win the first of their back-to-back titles. In 1982 Stilwell would get back to losing to the State Runner-Up in Bristow.
In 1988 the #1 ranked Indians were upset by Runner-up Broken Bow and in 1989 would lose to State Champion Broken Bow.
