<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1366322' first='Braden' last='Ward'] - Senior Quarterback - Pryor</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In one of the biggest games in week six, Pryor took down rival Claremore 51-20, sending quite the statement to the rest of Class 5A. Leading the way once again was senior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1366322' first='Braden' last='Ward'] and he's been simply magnificent this season. In the win over previously unbeaten Claremore, Ward threw for nearly 300 yards and four touchdowns while also adding over 50 yards on nine carries. He's a player that has played like one of the best quarterbacks in Oklahoma and he has Pryor in a position to compete for the 5A state championship. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1836770' first='Carter' last='Vaughan'] - Sophomore Quarterback - Collinsville</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Collinsville improved to 5-1 on the year when they beat Tahlequah 35-23. The Cardinals were able to pull away from a match-up with Tahlequah that was significantly more competitive than the final score indicates. Sophomore quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1836770' first='Carter' last='Vaughan'] had a terrific night throwing the ball and you could make the argument that it was his best performance of his young career. He threw for over 350 yards and five touchdowns on 24-30 passing. Vaughan is a 2028 prospect that could end up having a high ceiling as he's impressed us this year. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1952550' first='Caysen' last='Garcia'] - Freshman Running Back - Blanchard</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Blanchard bounced back from a tough one-point loss to Bethany by beating Tecumseh 56-21 on Friday night. The Lions were on a roll on the offensive side of the ball but they also saw the emergence of a potential playmaker at the running back position. Freshman [player_tooltip player_id='1952550' first='Caysen' last='Garcia'] had a few carries here and there in the first half of the regular season. But on Friday night, he ran for over 150 yards and four touchdowns. He had more carries Friday than he had all season combined. Garcia is another piece that makes Blanchard interesting moving forward. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1182029' first='Connor' last='Claborn'] - Junior Running Back - Lawton MacArthur</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lawton MacArthur's offense could not be contained as they ran away from Duncan 51-20 on Friday night. The Demons had just entered the 5A rankings and the Highlanders ran them out with a 31-point. The Highlanders have quite a few playmakers on the offensive side of the ball but we need to start talking more about junior running back [player_tooltip player_id='1182029' first='Connor' last='Claborn'] and not just for his performance Friday. But in the win, Claborn ran for nearly 200 yards and three touchdowns on 23 carries. He's a running back that has put up performances like that quite a bit this season. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='473891' first='Creed' last='Barrett'] - Sophomore Quarterback - Washington</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Defending champion Washington continued to roll Thursday night when they shut out Little Axe with a 55-0 victory. Sophomore quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='473891' first='Creed' last='Barrett'] was lights out and had another efficient, while dominant performance throwing the ball. He threw for nearly 300 yards and five touchdowns on just 8-11 passing. Barrett and the Warriors are picking up a ton of momentum as we move into the second half of the regular season. They'll need that momentum as they prepare for a week seven showdown with undefeated Marlow on Thursday night. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='402373' first='Dallas' last='Dyer'] - Senior Running Back - Victory Christian</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Victory Christian snapped a three-game losing streak on Thursday night when they beat McLoud 33-30. It's been a tough season for the Conquerors but they've still seen some bright spots this fall. One bright spot on Thursday night in particular was the play of senior [player_tooltip player_id='402373' first='Dallas' last='Dyer'] and he's a player that has struggled with injuries but when he's healthy, he's one of the best backs in the Tulsa area. In the win over McLoud, Dyer finished with over 200 total yards and a touchdown. He also had a fumble recovery on the defensive side of the ball. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1952552' first='Easton' last='Hallman'] - Freshman Quarterback - Inola</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Inola quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1952552' first='Easton' last='Hallman'] is another freshman to make this week's breakdown feature. Hallman helped lead the Longhorns to an impressive 46-6 victory over Claremore Sequoyah on Friday night. It keeps the Longhorns firmly in the playoff hunt and Hallman was nearly perfect in the win. Hallman threw for over 250 yards and five touchdowns on 16-17 passing. We just finished up our 2029 prospect breakdowns and Hallman is a guy we need to add to that list. It was an impressive performance and Inola has a lot of momentum right now. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1250575' first='Gabe' last='Miller'] - Senior Linebacker - Muldrow</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Muldrow came up short on the scoreboard, losing 23-14 to Idabel on Friday night. But senior linebacker [player_tooltip player_id='1250575' first='Gabe' last='Miller'] had a terrific performance on the defensive side of the ball and two weeks ago, there might have been thoughts that his senior season was over and possibly worse. Miller suffered a neck injury and had to be taken to the hospital. It ended up being a stinger and within two weeks, Miller was back on the field and helping his team. He finished the night with 22 tackles and despite the loss, his return was one of the better stories from week six.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1836761' first='Hudson' last='Farris'] - Senior Wide Receiver - Lincoln Christian</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lincoln Christian rolled to another dominant district win, beating Locust Grove 63-0 in week six. The Bulldogs have now won 34 games in a row and every week, you could pick several Bulldogs to be featured here. We're going with senior wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1836761' first='Hudson' last='Farris'] as he turned out to be the go-to target as the Lincoln offense continued to roll. In the win, Farris caught five passes for nearly 170 yards and three touchdowns. Lincoln Christian is not lacking talent and explosive playmakers and Farris' performance is another example of just that. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1637567' first='Isaac' last='Woodard'] - Junior Wide Receiver - Edmond Memorial</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Edmond Memorial rolled to a 37-13 victory over Yukon on Friday night and the Bulldog passing game was off the charts good. The Bulldogs spread the ball around but junior wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1637567' first='Isaac' last='Woodard'] had a really strong performance. He finished the night with eight catches for 160 yards and a touchdown. Edmond Memorial has been hyped up this season (mostly by us) and the talk has been their defense. But Woodard is a very underrated wide receiver in the state's 2027 class. He has the potential to play like this on a weekly basis. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='402378' first='KD' last='Jones'] - Senior Running Back - Jenks</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If we did an actual player of the week and not just a list of top performers, Jenks senior running back [player_tooltip player_id='402378' first='KD' last='Jones'] would be the runaway winner and it wouldn't be close. Jones ran for nearly 450 yards and eight touchdowns on 44 carries. He also had seven catches for 56 yards as the Trojans won a marathon game with Mustang. Jones also set multiple records on Friday night. He set the school's all time touchdown record and had the most rushing yards and touchdowns in a single game. Jones could not be stopped and this came one day after committing to Kansas. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='572029' first='Keilan' last='Robinson'] - Senior Quarterback - Hooker</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Way out in the panhandle, we watched one of the best games of week six as Hooker took down Cashion 49-28, handing the Wildcats their first loss of the season. Senior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='572029' first='Keilan' last='Robinson'] was a one-man wrecking crew, lighting up the scoreboard. He finished the night with six rushing touchdowns, including an 87-yard score in the fourth quarter that served as the final nail in the coffin. The Hooker 1-2 punch at QB and RB were really the big story on Friday night. But it was Robinson that ended up in the end zone six times on the night. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='424595' first='Masyn' last='Wright'] - Senior Running Back - Vian</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Vian senior running back [player_tooltip player_id='424595' first='Masyn' last='Wright'] is another player that you can make the argument that he could be on this weekly feature almost every week. Wright had another efficient and dominant performance as the Wolverines beat Atoka 49-14 on Friday night. Wright finished with 182 yards and three touchdowns on just 12 carries. He also stood out on the defensive side of the ball, finishing with seven tackles and an interception. Wright was one of the best players in Oklahoma last season and he has definitely picked up right where he left off this season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1506286' first='Ozias' last='Adams'] - Junior Running Back - Moore</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Moore snapped a three-game winning streak on Friday night after beating Deer Creek 40-24. Junior running. back [player_tooltip player_id='1506286' first='Ozias' last='Adams'] had a big night and continued to show why he's one of the running backs to watch in the state's 2027 class. Adams finished with 180 yards and three touchdowns as the Lions improved to 3-3 on the season. Friday night's win was the first step towards making it back to the playoffs. They still have a lot of work to do with their schedule but Adams and the Lions are feeling good after a 16-point victory on Friday night. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1709318' first='Randee' last='Goodeagle'] - Senior Running Back - Hominy</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hominy ran away from Woodland on Friday night and it was sparked by a big second half performance from senior [player_tooltip player_id='1709318' first='Randee' last='Goodeagle'] at the running back position. He finished with two second half touchdowns as the Bucks wore down the defending champs, beating the Cougars 32-16. Woodland actually led 8-6 at halftime but Goodeagle and the Bucks grinded their way to a 16-point win. Goodeagle has become the marquee back after the Bucks lost their other notable running back to a season-ending injury. He answered the call with a big performance. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='916843' first='Remington' last='Laughlin'] - Junior Quarterback - Mangum</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Another week and another recognition that Mangum junior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='916843' first='Remington' last='Laughlin'] is one of the better quarterbacks in the smaller classes. Mangum dominated their way to a 50-0 win over Mooreland Friday night. They remain undefeated and look like a serious team to beat in Class A-2. In the win, Laughlin had a quick and efficient night. He threw for well over 200 yards and four touchdowns on only 7-8 passing. He also added nearly 50 yards and a touchdown on three carries. He has Mangum's offense as one of the best in the state. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1035105' first='Roman' last='Manella'] - Junior Quarterback - Mount St. Mary</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Mount St. Mary is 6-0 for the first time in school history. We mentioned this offseason that the Rockets had the pieces in place to be one of the biggest surprise teams of the 2025 season. They're playing like it so far but there are some big games on the horizon. The Rockets shut out Perry 53-0 and junior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1035105' first='Roman' last='Manella'] had another terrific performance in the win. Manella threw for nearly 400 yards and three touchdowns on 23-32 passing. Manella and the Rockets host Millwood this week but a week eight showdown with unbeaten Jones looms.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='858876' first='Tayveon' last='Parry'] - Senior Running Back - Union</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Union bounced back from a tough loss to Owasso by beating up on Norman North in a high-scoring affair. The Redhawks prevailed 51-30 and senior running back [player_tooltip player_id='858876' first='Tayveon' last='Parry'] was absolutely electric in the win. Parry ran for nearly 300 yards and three touchdowns on just 11 carries. That rushing average is off the charts good and Friday's win over Norman North could be the turning point of Union's season. Parry is one of the best running backs in Class 6A-1 and Friday's performance was definitely another example of why he's that guy. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1732959' first='Trey' last='Burleson'] - Senior Quarterback - Holland Hall</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Holland Hall bounced back from their first loss of the season by beating Eufaula 51-21 on Friday night. The Dutch passing attack was lighting up the scoreboard. Senior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1732959' first='Trey' last='Burleson'] set the tone early and often as he threw for nearly 300 yards and six touchdowns on 12-15 passing. Half of Burleson's passes ended with Holland Hall touchdowns. After struggling the week before, it was obvious that the Holland Hall offense wanted to get out to a fast start Friday. They did just that and scored an impressive 30-point win. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1161913' first='Wyatt' last='Atkinson'] - Senior Running Back - Perkins-Tryon</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Perkins-Tryon reminded Class 3A why they are a team to take serious moving forward as they throttled Seminole 63-26 on Friday night. The Demons handed the Chieftains their first loss on the field in 2025 and senior running back [player_tooltip player_id='1161913' first='Wyatt' last='Atkinson'] had a career night in the win. Atkinson ran for nearly 250 yards and four touchdowns on 21 carries. He also added a touchdown on the defensive side of the ball when he recovered a fumble and took it to the house. Atkinson, in our opinion, has been one of the very best running backs in Class 3A this season. </p>
