That game was headlined by Heritage Hall senior star [player_tooltip player_id='207182' first='Andy' last='Bass'] absolutely stealing the show on the offensive side of the ball. Bass could not be stopped as he racked up some monster numbers. He was 22-30 for nearly 350 yards and three touchdowns. He would also add 90 rushing yards on 14 carries and he found the end zone three times on the ground. Bass had a 91-yard touchdown run negated by a penalty but just a few plays later he would throw an 89-yard touchdown. The OU commit was outstanding on Thursday.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["363852"],"_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":"Class 4A's #3 Blanchard rolled to an easy win over Noble on Friday night and they let their offense cook, pun intended.

He also added two touchdowns on the ground. The Lions are a real contender in Class 4A and they opened their 2023 football season with an impressive win. But the schedule really starts to heat up this week as they will go on the road to face 5A's #5 Piedmont. This is going to be a massive challenge for the Lions but if week one was any indication, Cooksey and the Blanchard offense will be ready for the challenge on Friday.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["209872"],"_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":"Edmond Memorial stunned Deer Creek in the final seconds to win 34-31.

It was McComb's fourth passing touchdown on the night and it capped off a career night for the Kansas commit. McComb finished with 462 yards and four touchdowns on 30-47 passing. McComb set a few records to go along with his clutch performance down the stretch. He broke the school's all time passing record for a career and he's going to put that number at a mark that might not be reached again. McComb has had a great start to his junior season.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["154214"],"_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":"Owasso bounced back in a big way following their week zero loss to Bixby. The Rams would play host to Jenks and would win 34-28 but the final score is not indicitive of how the game played out. They led 34-7 at one point before Jenks rallied. But the Rams would hold on to win and senior wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='154214' first='Deuce' last='Chalk'] perhaps had his breakout moment. Chalk finished the game with five catches for just over 200 yards and three touchdowns. Chalk has been a 2024 wide receiver that we have liked for a while now and it's not surprising to see him put up those kinds of numbers.

He finished with 253 passing yards and four touchdowns. He also added just over 100 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Bernard is firmly establishing himself as one of the top quarterbacks in Class A and in the state in general. The junior has been lights out so far as the Yellowjackets have extended their winning streak to 17 straight games.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["192621"],"_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":"One of the bigger questions coming into this season was how Metro Christian would replace their star quarterback Kirk Francis from a year ago.

Grimes would throw for nearly 400 yards and four touchdowns as he completed 30 of his 54 passes. Grimes is a special athlete and he is going to make sure that the Metro offense doesn't take a step back this fall. Now, Grimes and the Patriots will get a big test in week two as they play host to 4A's #2 Poteau, who has a very talented and stingy defense.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["360245"],"_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":"After two straight years, it's very clear that Sapulpa senior running back [player_tooltip player_id='360245' first='Marco' last='Smith'] loves to play against Tahlequah. On Friday night, the Chieftains rallied from a 28-12 halftime deficit to stun the Tigers when Smith scored the game-winning touchdown with just 19 seconds remaining. This was the second consecutive season that Smith scored what would be the game-winning touchdown against Tahlequah with less than a minute to play. It also capped off an impressive night for the Sapulpa senior as they bounced back from their rivalry loss to Sand Springs. He finished with nearly 250 yards and four touchdowns on 23 carries.

He was truly dynamic with the numbers he put up on Friday night. He finished 21-27 for 176 yards and a touchdown. But then he also added just under 200 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. Graham showed flashes of that dynamic playmaking ability in week zero against Union but it was on full display on Friday night. Graham is committed to Houston to play defense and he also enjoyed a solid night on that side of the ball as the Jags rolled to the week one win.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_8_player":["110739"],"_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":"2A's #9 Beggs rolled to a 48-0 win over Hugo on Friday night to kick off their 2023 football season.

He finished with 266 yards and four touchdowns on the night. He only carried the ball 13 times on the night. The Kansas commit was truly special with the football in his hands and he's been that way since early on in his career. Martel and the Demons now turn their attention to a growing Class 2A rivalry in week two. They will host #10 Rejoice Christian in a rematch of last year's first round playoff game.

It was the second straight week that Reisig threw for more than 300 yards and at least four touchdowns with no interceptions. Reisig has been absolutely outstanding so far through the first two weeks of the season. Now all the attention shifts to week two's rivalry clash with Jenks.
