Last week, he led a game-winning drive and threw the game-winning touchdown to beat Booker T Washington with less than a minute to play. This week, he faced 3rd down and long with less than a minute to play and fired a strike for the game-winning touchdown in a road win over Ponca City. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='216547' first='Colton' last='McComb'] - 2027 Running Back/Linebacker - Edmond Memorial</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Edmond Memorial shut out Westmoore for a big Homecoming win on Friday night. Senior running back and linebacker [player_tooltip player_id='216547' first='Colton' last='McComb'] was dominant on both sides of the ball for the Bulldogs. He finished with three rushing touchdowns on offense and then turned around and had four sacks and forced a fumble on the defensive side of the ball. The Kansas State commit was also chosen as Homecoming King so overall, a very fun night for McComb and the Bulldogs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1182029' first='Connor' last='Claborn'] - 2027 Running Back - Lawton MacArthur</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lawton MacArthur found themselves in a shootout with Shawnee on Friday night and they turned to senior running back [player_tooltip player_id='1182029' first='Connor' last='Claborn'] to lead the way. It's been a roller coaster of a season for the Highlanders but they are safely in the playoffs and Claborn carried them there. He carried the ball 50 times and finished with over 250 yards and two touchdowns. As if the 50 carries wasn't enough, he also added a 99-yard kick return for a score in the win. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1695230' first='Curtis' last='Henley IV'] - 2027 Running Back - Mangum</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mangum took care of Minco on Friday night but it wasn't always pretty in the rain-soaked conditions in week nine. Fortunately, they have a workhorse back in [player_tooltip player_id='1695230' first='Curtis' last='Henley IV'] that didn't back away from the challenge. The senior finished the night with 33 carries for over 200 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Henley has been automatic for the Tigers all season.

In their win over Norman North, Truss finished with nearly 250 yards on the ground and a pair of touchdowns. Last week, Truss got on the radar with a 200+ yard performance in week eight. He followed that up and outdid his production in week nine as they rallied from an early deficit and rolled to the week nine win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1261479' first='Evan' last='Adams'] - 2029 Wide Receiver - Poteau</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Poteau sophomore wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1261479' first='Evan' last='Adams'] was unstoppable as the Pirates came to Tulsa and beat McLain Thursday night. Adams finished with ten catches for just shy of 280 yards and four touchdowns. He was consistently getting behind the McLain defense and he was certainly the bright spot for a Poteau team making a playoff push. Adams is a 2029 prospect who's stock is absolutely skyrocketing right now at the wide receiver position. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2245851' first='Isaiah' last='Hughes'] - 2029 Athlete - Hominy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last week, we put the spotlight on the state's 2029 class with updated rankings for the current sophomore group. Hominy sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='2245851' first='Isaiah' last='Hughes'] is one of those sophomores to keep an eye on moving forward and his performance Friday night was a really good reason why. Hughes finished with nealry 200 yards and a pair of touchdowns on the ground. He also had seven tackles, including two tackles for loss on the defensive side of the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2107796' first='Jackson' last='Fudge'] - 2029 Running Back - Skiatook</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We've lost track on how many times Skiatook sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='2107796' first='Jackson' last='Fudge'] has made this weekly breakdown but he continues to earn the spotlight as the Bulldogs continue to make a push for the playoffs. Fudge finished with 17 carries for 262 yards and six touchdowns in their win on Friday night. He's quickly become one of the top 2029 running backs in the state with his production this season and we're fired up to see what he does in the postseason. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1164601' first='Jett' last='Frankum'] - 2028 Athlete - Plainview</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With Plainview missing their starting quarterback, they turned to junior standout [player_tooltip player_id='1164601' first='Jett' last='Frankum'] to be the wildcat quarterback for their week nine game and he took the ball and ran with it, literally. Frankum finished with over 40 carries and totaled 279 yards and three touchdowns. Frankum has been one of the best players in Class 3A this season and he's done a little bit of everything for the Indians. There is no doubt that he has had a stellar junior campaign this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2469104' first='Kannon' last='Kinnard'] - 2029 Running Back - Claremore</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Claremore stunned Pryor with a dominant 40+ win on Friday night and the Zebras are now a win away from finishing as the district runner up. Pryor gave the Zebras extra opportunities with turnovers and sophomore running back [player_tooltip player_id='2469104' first='Kannon' last='Kinnard'] took full advantage. He had a fantastic performance running the ball. He finished with over 20 carries for nearly 180 yards and five touchdowns in the win. Now, Kinnard and the Zebras focus on a showdown with Collinsville. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1839047' first='Karrson' last='Davis'] - 2028 Quarterback - Fort Gibson</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fort Gibson went on the road and took down Cushing and with the chaos happening around the district, they captured the district title with the win. Junior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1839047' first='Karrson' last='Davis'] was the leader of an offensive explosion after somewhat of a slow start for both teams. Davis went off for nearly 300 yards and five touchdowns on 17-30 passing. Once Davis and the Fort Gibson offense got started on Friday night, it was nearly impossible to slow them down. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1718189' first='Keyshaun' last='Brown'] - 2027 Quarterback - Wagoner</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wagoner continues to pick up momentum as we get closer to the playoffs and senior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1718189' first='Keyshaun' last='Brown'] has been a huge key to this turnaround following a 1-4 start.

For the second straight week, the Demons rallied to score a major district win. This week, it was going on the road and snapping Heritage Hall's 90+ district winning streak.
