I’m sure we all know the drill by now. I rant and rave about
what I thought was cool. Then you rightfully so correct me and find
other things. It’s a nice system, so let me know what other gems
I missed Friday.
– Extremely impressed with Cashion and more specifically, Cayden
Cochran. I guess he didn’t let our player of the week thing go
to his head. Another great game by the QB as Cashion rolled Luther.
It’s not that I thought the move from Class B to A would be
tough, but I never thought Lynn Shackelford’s boys would have
such a seamless transition. Same could be said for the boys in Dewar
and Morrison as well.
– Did we overrate Prague, or is 2A just that deep? Fantastic
performance by Eufaula to go into Prague and walk out with a 22-13
win. Eufaula’s only blemish was to Checotah. BTW, Checotah put
up 67 vs. Okmulgee last night. Wowzas. Will the eventual Eufaula and
Chandler game mean as much as Heritage Hall and Kingfisher?
– How about that Washington defense? One of the early stories of this
season was Lindsay QB Tim Hamilton. He didn’t surprise the
Warriors who picked off six passes last night in a 31-17 win.
Washington is definitely flying in under the radar in 2A this season.
– Had I had more time last night, I would have definitely done a lil
something on Ardmore and Noble. The Tigers outscored Noble 21-7 in the
fourth to come from behind for a 27-21 win. The stats don’t
really tell much, but I’m guessing the Bears’ three
turnovers were a huge part in swinging the momentum in that one.
– How good is this Shawnee defense? Its allowed 15 points in four
games so far. Don’t quote me, but I think it’s 187-15 for
the Wolves. Is the 5A-2 game of the year next week with Shawnee and
Carl Albert? Just throwing it out there. Brayle Brown looks extremely
comfortable at QB as a sophomore. That’s just allowing Brett
Davis to roam free and do whatever he wants. Something a special might
be a brewin’ in Shawnee.
– Classic case of just getting to district play for Owasso. The Rams
put it on Enid, 41-14, to earn their first win of the year and giving
Enid its first loss at the same time.
– Edmond North finally had that bust out game by Joe Aska to get its
first win. I’ve been praising Joe for a while, so I’m
happy to finally look semi-competent for once.
– I know Kye Staley provided a lot of flash, but how about this
chemistry at Guthrie between Keaton Callins and Donte’ Foster?
The duo is sensational right now. I’m a fan of the QB-WR thing
instead of huge numbers by the RB. It’s something different,
especially this year where there has been a lack of huge games for WRs
(or that have been reported to us).
– Newkirk, playing with extreme heavy hearts, bested John Marshall,
31-20. It was a wild week for those boys, glad they could find some
comfort with a win.
– Statement of the week: Booker T. (and not just cuz it was my LOCK).
I don’t know how my Tulsa brethren saw the game, but here in the
OKC, we saw it as a toss up. The Hornets emphatically gave Bishop
Kelley its first loss, 35-15. 5A is loaded with some unreal talent at
the top right now.
– Thursday, I was at McLoud and Star Spencer. I was impressed with the
quality of play. I realize both coaches cannot be happy about their
defense in a 39-35 Star win, but it was fun from the press box. While
Jeremy Harris rightfully deserves some huge kudos for his game,
I’m going with Cody Phipps at McLoud. As a sophomore, he was a
rising star in the state. I thought for sure he would be an all-state
RB his final two years. Injuries derailed him last
year…horribly. It wasn’t the type where he couldn’t
play, so his numbers and the team suffered. He was too tough for his
own good. He’s back to being that workhorse again, and
it’s a sight to see. Both teams appear to be locks to reach the
postseason, but who knows? All I know is Thursday night was a helluva
good game.
– Your turn. Give it to me. What did I miss? Player of the week? You
know the drill.
Timothy Winans Says:
Game Friday between Kingfisher and Mount St. Mary’s. Timothy
Winans had five catches for 166 yards, three touchdowns, interception
44 yards for a TD but was called back. All within first half of game!
Neal and Brandi Parker Says:
name incorrectly put under leave a reply name required . Regarding
Kingfisher and Mount St. Mary’s game. Please replace Neal and
Brandi Parker instead of Timothy Winans
Jamie Worcester Says:
Nominate Shane Leiter because he not only scored 6 touchdowns, he also
kicked all of the extra points.
Shari Stevens Says:
Player of the week should go to Shane Leiter. He’s an
outstanding player, makes the touchdowns, kicks the extra points,
works his bottom off and he’s cute too. What more can you say.
Jeff Says:
Jaycee Dismuke, DB, Bethel – The sophomore cornerback recorded 4
interceptions, returning two of them (54 yds and 85 yds) for
touchdowns during a 39 point second half by the Wildcats. Bethel went
on to win the game 45-12
Leah Says:
Shane Leiter should be player of the week. He’s scored almost
all of the points for his school so far this season. GREAT JOB
SHANE!!!
Kyle is a senior QB and LB at Checoah. The team is off to it’s
best start in 10-15 years. They are 4-0 and number 8 in the state.
Kyle had a great game this past Friday leading the Wildcats to a 67-27
win over Okmulgee. Kyle rushed for 89 yeads and passed for 211. He was
14 of 17 passing with three dropped balls. He had two rushing
touchdowns and 1 passing touchdown. In addition, Kyle had a kickoff
return of 50 yards and an interception for a touchdown. Kyle also had
four solo tackles.
