Here are some interesting tidbits as the Guthrie BlueJays travel to Duncan for the first round of the Oklahoma high school play-off's.
Watkins vs Hollaway
This will be the first time Rafe Watkins and the Jays have played a Duncan team since his arrival in 2001, but it is not the first time Coach Watkins has gone up against Duncan head coach Jim Hollaway. Hollaway and the Altus Bulldogs came to Jelsma Stadium, in 2001, and defeated the Jays 21-0 in a first round play-off game.
Watkins has always talked about Coach Hollaway being as one of the toughest coaches to coach against. Hollaway's Demons were projected not to make the play-off's, but have reeled off 8-wins in 10 weeks.
Guthrie will open up the 2010 season at Jelsma when they host Duncan.
First Round Success
Since 2001, Guthrie is 5-2 when playing in the first round and have won their last four first round games. The Jays have only been on the road one time, in the Watkins tenure, and dropped a 20-0 decision to Ardmore in 2003. Guthrie did not make the play-off's in 2004.
Duncan is back in the play-off after just missing out with a 5-5 injured prone 2008 season.
Common Opponent
Both the Jays and Demons have common opponents and both common opponents defeated them. Talking about Carl Albert and El Reno.
Carl Albert gave the Jays one of their most embarrassing losses in some time with a 40-14 home game. The Titans handled Duncan 26-7, in Duncan, back in Week 3.
El Reno snapped the Jays home winning streak by shutting out the Jays 18-0, in Jelsma, and just last week took down Duncan 14-7 in a highly contested game that saw the Demons have their chances in the fourth quarter.
Playing in Duncan
Duncan is 4-1 this season at home and Guthrie is 3-2 on the road.
