Week 6 Roundup
/By: Scott Emigh, Editor-in-Chief
#1 Booker T Washington (5-0, 3-0) District 1
#10 Claremore (2-4, 0-3) District 1
No surprise here, the Hornets registered yet another dominating win, their first shut out of the season, over Claremore. OSU-commit Justice Hill rushed for 276 yards and five touchdowns and personally registered more than double Claremore's total yardage.
The pick: BTW 52, Claremore 3
Results, BTW 40, Claremore 0.
#2 Bartlesville (6-0, 3-0) District 1
#6 Muskogee (2-4, 2-1) District 1
Bartlesville keeps on winning, but they keep doing it sloppily and last minute. Simply looking at the score and you'd think it was a Bartlesville slaughter, but believe it or not, the Roughers led 21-7 at one point. Statistically, the teams were neck-and-neck and it looks like Rafe Watkins might finally be whipping the Roughers into shape. Muskogee could very well be shaping up to be a major contender next year.
The pick: Bartlesville 54, Muskogee 14
Results: Bartlesville 48, Muskogee 27
#3 Bixby (4-2, 2-1) District 1
#12 Ponca City (1-4, 0-3) District 1
Oh how the mighty keep falling. The Spartans were without go-to running back Nic Roller for most of the night, and while they firmly routed the Wildcats, it was far from the devastation that was expected of the former number one team. The defending state champions are far from out of contention for a playoff-repeat, but they need to get their stuff together quick.
The pick: Bixby 47, Ponca 6
Results: Bixby 43, Ponca 21
#4 Sand Springs (2-3, 2-1) District 1
#13 Sapulpa (1-4, 0-3) District 1
Yet another exciting installment of the greatest rivalry in Oklahoma. Between QB Hunter Greathouse's 181 passing yards and Lane Lettich's 116 rushing yards, the Sandites dominated in air and on land, and the defense was outstanding as well, with numerous interceptions and fumble recoveries.
The pick: Sand Springs 42, Sapulpa 35
Results: Sand Springs 44, Sapulpa 10.
#5 Lawton (4-1, 3-0) District 2
#8 Stillwater (2-4, 1-1) District 2
Just when I thought Stillwater was starting to make a come-back, they go and get shut out. Four different Lawton players crossed the hundred-yard mark against Stillwater as the top team in District 2 affirmed their position.
The pick: Lawton 35, Stillwater 14
Results: Lawton 24, Stillwater 0
#7 Putnam City West (3-3, 1-1) District 2
5A Capitol Hill (1-5)
Not going to lie, I'm jealous that District 2 gets to explore a little more. Non-district games are a lot more exciting to me. What I don't understand is why they waste their time with teams their JV could stomp.
The pick: PCW 42, Capitol 7
Results: PCW 56, Capitol 0
#9 Midwest City (4-2, 2-1) District 2
#14 Enid (1-5, 0-3) District 2
Enid just keeps getting floored, and Midwest City found their feet after being upset last week by Stillwater.
The pick: MWC 35, Enid 12
Results: MWC 38, Enid 6
#11 Choctaw (4-2, 2-1) District 2
#15 Eisenhower (0-6, 0-2) District 2
The pick: Choctaw 38, Eisenhower 15
Results: Choctaw 59, Ike 27.
