Three county high school football teams are gearing up for another round of exciting playoff games this Friday. Fans can expect thrilling matchups as the season heats up and teams fight for a spot in the next round. Here’s a breakdown of the key games to watch: — Wilson vs. Okeene
The Wilson Tigers are set to face off against the Okeene Whippets at home, in what promises to be a highstakes battle. Both teams enter the game with significant momentum.
The Tigers, fresh off a dominant 52-7 victory over Davenport, have won six consecutive games and boast an impressive 9-1 record. Known for their offensive power, Wilson has averaged a 39.8-point margin of victory over their last five home games.
Their opponents, the 10-1 Okeene Whippets, also delivered a commanding performance last week, defeating the Alex Longhorns 58-26. After a low-scoring outing in the previous game, Okeene’s offense roared back to life, making this matchup one to watch.
— Beggs @ Vian
The Beggs Golden Demons hit the road to take on the undefeated Vian Wolverines at 7 p.m. in what is shaping up to be a clash of titans.
Beggs enters the game riding high after a 43-0 shutout against Alva on the road. Their 9-2 record reflects a season of resilience and strong playoff aspirations.
However, the Wolverines have been a force to be reckoned with, sporting an unblemished 11-0 record. Last week, they continued their dominance with a 38-7 win over Kansas, fueled by Masyn Wright’s stellar 156yard, three-touchdown performance. With their powerful ground game and staunch defense – allowing just 7 points per game – Vian looks to extend their winning streak.
— Dewar vs. Turpin
The Dewar Dragons will host the Turpin Cardinals in the Class B-1 quarterfinals.
Dewar has consistently demonstrated their championship aspirations throughout the season, and this playoff matchup offers another chance for them to prove their mettle.
The Dragons, led by Coach Josh Been, delivered a resounding victory against the Depew Hornets last week in the first round of the playoffs. Playing in front of an energized home crowd, the Dragons secured a 60-0 win with a masterful performance on both sides of the ball.
