Bartlesville is the only team to go on the road and win as I and many others predicted to do so, but what a scare Southmoore, Midwest City, and Union received. Not to mention Mustang getting throttled on the road in a minor upset.
Looking ahead it appears I have three teams from the East and one from the West marching to the state semi's.
Bartlesville at Southmoore
Austin Haywood will be a welcome site back for the Sabercats, who did not play with a shoulder injury, and he will be needed with Ron Smith's offense coming to town.
Kirby Schoenthaler is the quarterback that no one knows on the West side of the state for the Bruins and is very effective throwing the ball.
The match-up that will decide this game is the Southmoore running game vs the Bruins defense. Both teams can throw the ball, but who will stop their opponents running game? Whoever has more yards rushing wins the game and I sticking with Southmoore to win another close game at home.
Edmond Memorial at Jenks
Edmond had the most surprising win in 6A by taking advantage of Mustang miscues and holding the Broncos to just 7 points. The Bulldogs have now allowed just 24-points in the last seven weeks. Not sure I care who they came against because it is 6A football.
Now, with all that said they must make the trip up the turnpike to Jenks where the Trojans are on a mission this season. More so this year with their coaches watching from the stands.
Jenks is my 6A pick to win it all, but the Bulldogs have nothing to lose as they take on the rich program in Jenks.
Broken Arrow at Midwest City
The Bombers had to hold off a fourth quarter rally by PC North, while Broken Arrow handled their business in round one over Enid.
I saw the Tigers a year ago go into Mustang and get a second round win, and I see them doing it again this year on the last game played on grass in MWC.
**Publisher note: As a very nice anonymous poster nicely said in a Mike Gundy tone, I did not see BA win in Mustang. I apologize. I had misremembered because I do recall Kyle Webster, Mustang QB, going on a long run on a fake punt to all but seal the game over Fulps and the Tigers. Thanks, again anonymous.
Lawton at Union
Many people did not have Lawton playing the playoffs. Others did not have them hosting a first round game, so why should anyone give them a chance against Union?
The Redskins got a scare by the wing T Claremore offense, as the Zebra's jumped out to a 9-0 lead and a 9-7 halftime lead before Union scored 27 unanswered points to get the win.
Lawton fans do not want me to pick them to win because I have not been doing it all season, so I go with Union to move on.

dumb.. you didnt see BA go to mustang and get a win a year ago.. are you seriously that dumb? Mustang took care of BA last year.. get your facts straight.. and southmoore wont win.. well i take that back they are at home and have to cheat to win so good luck to bartlesville you gotta play the refs
Anonymous, I am guessing a Lawton fan, or resident? Going off of your referee and Southmoore statements alone.
anonymous doesn't realize that all Oklahoma Officials cannot referee in their home town. Plus, they cannot officiate a game where they attended school, even if it's been decades since they were in school. Southmoore dominated Bartlesville. And there was only eight penalties called in that game. Two southmoore penalties helped keep Bartlesville scoring drives alive.. Should really check your facts...
