<p>The Seiling Wildcats are state champions for the second time in the last three years after beating Weleetka 60-12 in the Class B-2 state championship game on Thursday afternoon in Edmond. This game was close after the first quarter and there were plenty of fireworks between the two teams. Seiling led 18-12 after the first quarter but the Outlaws would be shut out over the last three quarters and Seiling won the game on a touchdown halfway through the fourth quarter for the mercy rule victory. This was the second straight year that these two teams met for the B-2 state title. Weleetka won last year and Seiling took the gold ball this year. In this breakdown, we put the spotlight on six players that stood out in Thursday afternoon's title game. Below, we also have links to our game highlights, as well as our instant reaction recap video, immediately following the title game. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='955650' first='Bryant' last='Sites'] - Senior Wide Receiver - Weleetka</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Senior wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='955650' first='Bryant' last='Sites'] had a big performance on the offensive side of the ball, headlined by making some big catches in jump ball situations. Sites has been incredibly productive for the Outlaws over the last several seasons and he finished his career with another big game. He caught seven passes for nearly 130 yards and a touchdown. You could make that one of the best plays of Thursday's game was when Sites was in a one on one situation for a jump ball. He battled the opposing defensive back all the way to the ground but somehow came up with the catch. He was a bright spot in a tough day for the Weleetka offense.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='670657' first='Isaiah' last='Drake'] - Senior Quarterback - Weleetka</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Senior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='670657' first='Isaiah' last='Drake'] had to battle for everything on Thursday afternoon. Look, it was a rough day for the Outlaws but Drake went down swinging and it can't be emphasized enough how dominant Drake has been over the last two seasons. He helped lead Weleetka to the state title a year ago and was our 8-man player of the year. This season, Drake was once again one of the top 8-man players in the state. The Weleetka senior was pressured all afternoon and he was still able to produce in certain moments. He made some outstanding passes and also made some plays with his legs but it ultimately wasn't enough. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1830285' first='Jazin' last='Baker'] - Senior Wide Receiver/Defensive End - Seiling</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Senior wide receiver and defensive end (mostly in 8-man football do you see that position combination) [player_tooltip player_id='1830285' first='Jazin' last='Baker'] had a very memorable performance in their win over Weleetka on Thursday afternoon. For three and a half quarters, Baker was dominating on the defensive side of the ball. He finished the game by leading the team in tackles, had two sacks and 2 1/2 tackles for loss. But halfway through the fourth quarter, the Wildcats got the ball back with a chance to end the game with a mercy rule victory. Baker scored on a 68-yard touchdown reception where he would not be denied to end the game in style.</p>

<p><strong>Kason Smart - Junior Offensive/Defensive Lineman - Seiling</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Junior offensive and defensive lineman Kason Smart was part of a dominant effort by the Seiling defensive front. The Wildcats made things very difficult for Drake, as they lived in the backfield. Smart finished with two sacks and three tackles for loss as the team got to Drake seven times throughout the afternoon. It should also be noted that the Seiling offensive line helped pave the way for the Wildcats to run for more than 350 yards in the win. Out of the four Seiling standouts on this breakdown, Smart is the only non-senior so it's safe to say he'll be a massive key returner for the Wildcats in 2026. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1836575' first='Rush' last='Hunt'] - Senior Running Back/Defensive Back - Seiling</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Senior running back and defensive back [player_tooltip player_id='1836575' first='Rush' last='Hunt'] was the ultimate two-way weapon for the Wildcats on Thursday afternoon. First off, on offense, Hunt finished the game with 22 carries for nearly 150 yards and a touchdown. He also had two catches for 60 yards and a touchdown. As if that wasn't enough, he also had an interception on defense, which coincidentally, set up his 43-yard touchdown on a pop pass from the Seiling quarterback. Speaking of the Seiling QB, he had a terrific performance and will get a lot of the headlines, but Hunt was steady and reliable from the opening snap and played very well in every aspect of the game. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='901722' first='Wyatt' last='Tillery'] - Senior Quarterback - Seiling</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Thursday's game was the first of six state title games this week in Edmond but we might already have our best individual performance of any state title game. Senior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='901722' first='Wyatt' last='Tillery'] was a man on a mission on Thursday afternoon and he had one of the best games that we will probably see this week or even next week by one player. The senior signal caller threw for 164 yards and three touchdowns on 7-10 passing. But he was unstoppable on the ground. He had 23 carries for 230 yards and five touchdowns. Nearly 400 yards of total offense and eight touchdowns was one of the best individual performances we've seen this season. </p>
