The Tigers beat Bethany 30-10 in a match-up featuring top ten teams in Class 4A. We've mentioned how tough this district is going to be once again and the Tigers got off to a great start with a win. Leading the way for the Tigers was junior standout [player_tooltip player_id='215570' first='Brady' last='Mcadoo'] at the running back position. He was an absolute workhorse back in the win. He finished the game with 26 carries for 163 yards and a touchdown. Mcadoo and the Tigers can now shift their focus to the rest of their gauntlet district schedule knowing they are one game down.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["188013"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Edmond Santa Fe junior running back [player_tooltip player_id='188013' first='Demarius' last='Robinson'] is one of the players on our Player Of The Year watchlist and he showed why as he and the Wolves made a massive statement in a 54-7 win over Edmond Memorial. The defense was outstanding in shutting down a high-powered Edmond Memorial offense. But Robinson was the story of the night as he could not be contained in the running game. He finished the rivalry contest with just under 350 yards and six touchdowns on the night with 20 carries. Robinson and the Wolves are looking to continue this momentum into the rest of the district slate as they look to make some more noise.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["998365"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"For the second straight week, Apache junior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='998365' first='Houston' last='Herrin'] finds himself on this breakdown after Apache beat another top ten team. Last week, it was a shutout win over Ringling. This week, it was a 48-28 win over Mangum and the Warriors keep climbing the ranks in Class A. Herrin put up even more impressive numbers as they lit up the scoreboard in the win over Mangum. Herrin did almost all of his damage on the ground against Ringling. Against Mangum, he was also 5-5 for nearly 100 yards and a touchdown. He would then add well over 200 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 22 carries on the night.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["211556"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"For the second consecutive season, Muskogee beat up on Sand Springs and for the second consecutive season, Muskogee quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='211556' first='Jamarian' last='Ficklin'] was flawless in the win. In their 51-13 win over the Sandites, the junior quarterback did the majority of his damage on the ground. Ficklin is a great passer but every now and then, he reminds us that he is dangerous in the ground game as well. He finished with 171 yards and five touchdowns on the ground alone. He also added 218 passing yards and a touchdown on 16-24 passing. The Roughers bounced back from a tough loss to 5A's #1 Carl Albert and 6A-2's top-ranked team flexed their muscles in the district opener.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["379243"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Defending champion Fairview left no doubt in week four as they beat up on Hooker 56-22. We've written about junior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='379243' first='Jax' last='Bernard'] already this season as he's been one of the best quarterbacks in the state. He's one of several players on this breakdown that are on the PRZ-Oklahoma Player Of The Year watchlist. In the 56-22 win over Hooker, Bernard was as good as it gets. He threw for just over 400 yards and six touchdowns on 24-32 passing. He also added 70 yards and a touchdown on the ground. You can make the argument that the Hooker game was going to be the toughest district contest. Bernard and the defending champs are rolling right now.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["386581"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"We stay in Class A with another dynamic quarterback who shined in a marquee game. Top-ranked Hominy got a 55-22 win over Pawnee on Friday night and star quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='386581' first='Jaxon' last='Woods'] showed why he's one of the best players in the state. Woods was one of the finalists for our PRZ-Oklahoma Player Of The Year award last year and he's had a somewhat quiet season so far as the Bucks have been dominant and he hasn't had to put on that Superman cape. Woods got pretty close in the win over Pawnee. He threw for 375 yards and six touchdowns on 10-11 passing. He also added 18 tackles on the defensive side of the ball. Just like Bernard, Hominy is a top contender with Woods at QB.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["392007"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"Putnam City got their first win of the season and it was a big one as they beat Lawton 49-20. Because of the rule in 6A-1 and 6A-2 where six teams from each district now make the playoffs, the Pirates are one step closer to locking up a playoff spot already this season. Senior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='392007' first='Judson' last='Keefer'] put up some of the best numbers from week four as the Pirates got the big district victory. Keefer finished the game with nearly 350 yards passing and would total well over 500 yards of total offense. He had three touchdowns passing and five total touchdowns on the night. Keefer and the Pirates now look to keep this momentum going moving forward.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["393973"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"Westmoore got another rivalry win in the annual u0022Moore Waru0022 after beating Moore 37-33. Westmoore senior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='393973' first='Micheal' last='Graham'] continues to be one of the more electric quarterbacks in the state. Graham is committed to Houston to play defense but he put up some absolutely monster numbers on the offensive side of the ball. Graham finished with just over 150 yards passing and a pair of touchdowns on the night. But it was Graham on the ground that makes him so dangerous. He had over 250 yards and three touchdowns rushing. Graham is the type of player that anytime he starts scrambling around or tucking and run, you hold your breath.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_8_player":["188014"],"_player_evaluations_8_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"Union junior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='188014' first='Shaker' last='Reisig'] is yet another player on this breakdown that is on our Player Of The Year watchlist. Reisig showed why he's one of, if not the best quarterbacks in the state as he carved up Owasso's defense in a 55-22 win over Owasso. The Redhawk junior signal caller would finish the game with 322 yards and five touchdowns on 22-28 passing. He also added a touchdown on the ground. The argument for who the best quarterback in Oklahoma is heating up and Reisig is right there in the middle of it. At this point, it's hard to find another quarterback that has been more efficient than Reisig in this Union offense.","_player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_9_player":["360239"],"_player_evaluations_9_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_9_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_9_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_9_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_9_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"5A's top-ranked Carl Albert rolled to a 58-9 win in the district opener against Lawton Eisenhower. The defending state champions were never really tested and their star running back [player_tooltip player_id='360239' first='Xavier' last='Robinson'] was outstanding once again. The reigning PRZ-Oklahoma Player Of The Year was unstoppable in the win. He finished the game with just over 200 yards and four touchdowns and he had 19 carries on the night. Robinson has 19 touchdowns on the ground already. He's scored at least four touchdowns on the ground in four of the five games this season. Keeping Robinson out of the end zone has been something that no team has figured out.","_player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":10,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6511a04ce99a6"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>OTHER NOTABLE PERFORMANCES</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Austin Hardwick - 2024 Quarterback - Pocola</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pocola has won three in a row after a season-opening loss to Heavener.

Leading the way for this explosive offense has been senior quarterback Austin Hardwick and he was back at it on Friday night. He threw for 277 yards and four touchdowns on just 8-13 passing. At this point, he's one of the top passers in Class A. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='242231' first='Grady' last='Adamson'] - 2025 Quarterback - Deer Creek</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Antlers opened up district play with a dominating 65-26 victory over Ponca City.

Junior standout [player_tooltip player_id='211559' first='JuJu' last='Smith'] continues to show why he's one of the more electric players in Class 6A-2 when he gets the ball in his hands. He finished the game with a little over 100 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

He threw for over 300 yards and four touchdowns on 18-23 passing. Charboneau also added a touchdown on the ground. The Bulldogs are rolling right now and show no signs of slowing down. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='449039' first='Matt' last='Lund'] - 2024 Running Back - Elgin</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Elgin continued to roll and the Owls should be talked about more across the state with their dominating running game.

He finished with nearly 200 yards on the ground and two touchdowns. He also was a top target in the passing game. He had two catches for 84 yards and two touchdowns.
