STILLWATER — Dee Lockett had been waiting his whole life to run into Gallagher-Iba Arena in the orange singlet, and that dream turned to reality Friday night.
Lockett, a Stillwater High product, opened his Oklahoma State career against Stanford’s Hunter Garvin, a two-time All-American and the No. 4 guy in the country. OSU’s true freshman 165-pounder beat the redshirt junior 2-1 thanks to an impressive ride in the second period.
“I was so nervous,” Lockett said. “I don’t know, what if the hometown kid fails, ya know? But it all came together, and I know that I have the best coaches, the best partners in the world.
