NORMAN 69, WESTMOORE 28 NORMAN NORTH 30, MOORE 19 - Norman North had to wait until Saturday afternoon but they continued to play some of their best football at the best time.

Norman North trailed 19-7 at halftime and would outscore Moore 23-0 in the second half to run away with the win. This continues their trend of second half football this season. Norman North started the season 0-6 and has now won four of their last five games. Senior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='595685' first='Owen' last='Eshelman'] led the way and was dominant as a passer and rusher in the win. Now, they move on to the quarterfinals and will have a road game against defending champion Bixby. UNION 38, MUSTANG 21   CLASS 6A-2   PIEDMONT 48, PONCA CITY 7 PUTNAM CITY 26, BARTLESVILLE 14 PUTNAM CITY NORTH 21, SOUTHMOORE 0 SAPULPA 46, LAWTON EISENHOWER 31 - In the highest scoring game in Class 6A-2, Sapulpa ran away from Lawton Eisenhower in the second half to win 46-31. Sapulpa trailed the Eagles 29-26 at halftime but would outscore them 20-2 in the second half.

CLASS 5A   BISHOP McGUINNESS 42, LAWTON 7 BOOKER T WASHINGTON 25, COLLINSVILLE 20 - Booker T Washington won their ninth consecutive game in dramatic fashion with a 25-20 victory over Collinsville. The Hornets would rely on junior running back [player_tooltip player_id='858873' first='Mykah' last='Washington'] and a stout defensive front that caused chaos on the line of scrimmage all night. The Hornets trailed 14-6 at halftime but Washington, who has been dealing with a bum ankle for two weeks, scored a pair of touchdowns and finished with over 100 yards on the ground. The Hornets continue their terrific turnaround season after going 2-8 last season, they are now 9-2 and one win away from punching their ticket to the semifinals. CARL ALBERT 56, MIDWEST CITY 0 CLAREMORE 14, McALESTER 0 DEL CITY 31, SHAWNEE 0 GUTHRIE 43, LAWTON MACARTHUR 21 - Guthrie moved on after a 43-21 win over Lawton MacArthur. The Blue Jays would run away from the Highlanders after this game was tied at 14 halfway through the second quarter.

With the win, head coach Kelly Beeby earned his 100th victory as Guthrie's head coach. Quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1340786' first='Kolten' last='Carlock'] had a very busy night on the ground as Guthrie's rushing attack was a tough one to stop for the Highlanders. With the win, Guthrie will now hit the road to Tulsa in the quarterfinals to square off with Booker T Washington. NEWCASTLE 63, NOBLE 14 PRYOR 38, BISHOP KELLEY 19   CLASS 4A   ADA 53, CUSHING 50 - There were a lot of good games on Friday night and specifically in Class 4A. A ton of outstanding finishes and overall performances but man it's hard to beat Ada's 53-50 victory over Cushing. This game had fireworks from the very start with both teams lighting up the scoreboard and both quarterbacks having a game to remember. Ada junior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='911940' first='Brock' last='Boyles'] would throw for nearly 600 yards and six touchdowns in the win. Cushing had nearly 400 passing yards and thought they would have overtime when they scored the game-tying touchdown with a little over a minute left. But Ada answered, marching right down the field and kicking a short field goal with four seconds left to win 53-50. That allows the Cougars to move on to host Bethany in the quarterfinals. BETHANY 28, WEATHERFORD 6 CLINTON 21, BLANCHARD 20 - Class 4A will have a new state champion in 2024 as Blanchard was upset by Clinton 21-20 on Friday night at home. Clinton scored the go-ahead touchdown with a little over a minute left to go up 21-14 but the fireworks were far from over. Blanchard marched right down the field and scored with 35 seconds left and elected to go for the two-point conversion. That came up short and Clinton led 21-20 but the fireworks were still not over. Blanchard recovered the onside kick and had another chance to survive and advance but a pass to the end zone as time expired was too long and the Red Tornadoes escaped with the win. Senior running back [player_tooltip player_id='901851' first='Zaedon' last='Collins'] was an absolute workhorse in the win with over 30 carries resulting in more than 200 yards and what ended up being the game-winning touchdown. ELGIN 43, ARDMORE 0 HILLDALE 21, MIAMI 9 SALLISAW 27, GROVE 26 - For the second straight season, Sallisaw is moving on to the quarterfinal round and the Black Diamonds might be the most clutch team in Oklahoma this season. They would survive at home to beat Grove 27-26 and that's their third win in the last two months that has gone to overtime and they came out on top. This one in particular was one that Sallisaw fans will remember for a long time. Sallisaw scored in overtime to go up 27-20. Grove needed a touchdown and they got it from their quarterback. The Ridgerunners decided to go for the win instead of playing for a second overtime and they came up literally inches away from the goal line. Sallisaw survives and moves on to the quarterfinal round where they'll face top-ranked Elgin on the road. TUTTLE 34, ELK CITY 6 WAGONER 49, POTEAU 21   CLASS 3A   BRISTOW 25, PLAINVIEW 14 CHECOTAH 35, CASCIA HALL 28 - Checotah went on the road and knocked off district champion Cascia Hall 35-28 in one of the more surprising results of Friday's first round games. The Wildcats showed they were ready to play, scoring on an interception return in the first 30 seconds of the game. From there, Checotah would jump out to a 28-7 lead and would hold off several Cascia Hall rallies to move on to the 3A quarterfinals, where they'll face a Bristow team that went on the road and knocked off Plainview. Checotah was led once again by star [player_tooltip player_id='353415' first='Elijah' last='Thomas'] as he had a complete showing in every phase of the game, including scoring a touchdown with a little over seven minutes left to put the Wildcats up 35-21. They were also led by running back [player_tooltip player_id='1293008' first='Jayden' last='Ellen'] as he had well over 100 yards and scored on that pick six. HERITAGE HALL 43, SEMINOLE 20 HOLLAND HALL 21, BERRYHILL 13 IDABEL 39, CLAREMORE SEQUOYAH 21 LINCOLN CHRISTIAN 62, JAY 8 PAULS VALLEY 20, PERKINS-TRYON 17 - Another overtime game that came down to the final play say Pauls Valley beating Perkins-Tryon 20-17 on the road. Perkins-Tryon would score first in overtime, kicking a field goal to go up 17-14. Facing fourth down, Pauls Valley elected to go for the win and they got it as senior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1005608' first='Tanner' last='Perry'] found senior [player_tooltip player_id='1187311' first='Jon' last='Grimmett'] for the game-winning touchdown. Grimmett played lights out throughout the first round victory. Perry also had a big moment near the end of regulation as he found Baylor commit [player_tooltip player_id='353410' first='Caden' last='Knighten'] who ran away for a 55-yard touchdown to tie the game. Pauls Valley will now try to take this momentum into the quarterfinals as they have to travel to Tulsa to face defending champion and top-ranked Lincoln Christian on Friday night. SULPHUR 66, KINGFISHER 0   CLASS 2A-1   CHANDLER 36, HUGO 0 JONES 44, LINDSAY 8 KIEFER 36, TAHLEQUAH SEQUOYAH 13 KINGSTON 41, SPERRY 6 MARLOW 21, CHISHOLM 14 - When you look at the Class 2A-1 bracket, there were no real surprises as the top seeds all advanced and almost all of the games were decided by 20 points or more. One game that was decided by a single possession was Marlow advancing with a 21-14 victory over Chisholm. The Outlaws moved on and they will square off with Kingston in the next round. This game was close throughout and Marlow needed some late game heroics to survive and advance. Junior [player_tooltip player_id='1716143' first='Hudson' last='Morgan'] would score from five yards out with just under a minute left to provide the game-winning touchdown. That would be Morgan's second touchdown on the night and it punched their tickets to the 2A-1 quarterfinals. METRO CHRISTIAN 55, BETHEL 6 MILLWOOD 46, CROSSINGS CHRISTIAN 27 WASHINGTON 42, PERRY 0   CLASS 2A-2   ADAIR 44, ANTLERS 14 BEGGS 43, ALVA 0 COLCORD 40, VALLIANT 0 DAVIS 48, HENNESSEY 34 HOLDENVILLE 38, LUTHER 14 SALINA 26, HENRYETTA 12 - Similar to Class 2A-1, Class 2A-2 was full of the usual results where the expected teams won and moved on to the next round. One result that might have been unexpected was Salina going on the road and beating Henryetta 26-12. Two headlines from this game was Salina's defense and their playmakers continuing to get back to 100 percent. Henryetta's offense has been rolling for the majority of the season but they were held to a season-low 12 points in the loss on Friday night. Salina is also getting healthier and that starts with sophomore receiver [player_tooltip player_id='807020' first='Cooper' last='Hooker'] and he was outstanding on the offensive side of the ball. He missed time earlier this season but he was great in their first round win Friday. STROUD 45, COMMUNITY CHRISTIAN 12 VIAN 38, KANSAS 7   CLASS A-1   CASHION 42, WALTERS 14 CHRISTIAN HERITAGE 32, HINTON 0 FAIRVIEW 37, WYNNEWOOD 0 HOOKER 20, MINCO 0 - There weren't many surprises in Class A-1 and this game wasn't much of a surprise either. Hooker came into the playoffs as the team to beat in Class A-1 after knocking off defending champion Fairview in the regular season. They would shut out Minco 20-0 in the first round but a storyline to follow that came out of this game was the health of their starting quarterback. Senior [player_tooltip player_id='572028' first='Kleat' last='Martens'] went down early on in the game and the Bulldogs might miss Martens moving forward. The Bulldogs will shift their focus to the quarterfinals where they'll host a high-scoring Pocola squad. Not having their quarterback could definitely play a big part of how this game plays out on Friday. PAWHUSKA 44, HARTSHORNE 7 PAWNEE 30, PANAMA 7 POCOLA 52, TONKAWA 14 REJOICE CHRISTIAN 69, NOWATA 6   CLASS A-2   HOMINY 44, CENTRAL SALLISAW 15 KONAWA 20, MANGUM 15 - There's no doubt that Konawa's 20-15 victory over Mangum was the upset of the night in Class A-2. Mangum spent the majority of the season as the number two team in Class A-2 and a top five team throughout but the season comes to an end in the first round. Konawa finished third in their district after losses to Velma-Alma and Ringling in back to back weeks back in October. But they went on the road and stunned Mangum, ending their season at 9-2 and moving on to the quarterfinals. Now, they turn their attention to another high ranked program as they'll square off with a Woodland team that has been ranked on top of the Class A-2 rankings since they started back in June. REGENT PREP 37, KETCHUM 14 RINGLING 44, MOORELAND 8 TALIHINA 30, BARNSDALL 20 TEXHOMA 42, VELMA-ALMA 12 THOMAS 28, WILSON 6 WOODLAND 48, GORE 14
