Blanchard: Berryhill is AT Blanchard…

We’ve had fun building up Blanchard as the ultimate underdog after beating Madill. But we went a little too far in Thursday’s paper. Blanchard is not at Berryhill on Friday.
Though it would make for a great story about Blanchard going on the road in back-to-back weeks, Berryhill is coming to the Lion’s Den (I’m sure that’s not what it’s called but it sounds cool). So Berryhill is at Blanchard, we apologize for the mishap.
I trust in Blanchard’s toughness, just think this team has the right stuff. I think the Lions move on to face Clinton yet again in the 3A semifinals.
Once again, Berryhill is at Blanchard on Friday.

Rankings Preview: Nov. 15
For one more time before the playoffs end, here’s the rankings in all their glory:
EDIT: I’ve got to get this in above the jump: I messed up in my Class 2A rankings this week. I initially (and in Sunday’s paper) had Washington above Lindsay. Lindsay beat Washington comfortably during the regular season in a win that started the Leopards on a 7-1 run that has them going to Heritage Hall for a second-round playoff game.
Class 6A
1. Jenks (1)#11-0
2. Tulsa Union (2)#10-1
3. Broken Arrow (3)#9-2
4. Southmoore (4)#10-1
5. Midwest City (5)#9-2
6. Bartlesville (6)#9-2
7. Lawton (8)#9-2
8. Edmond Memorial (9)#8-3
9. Putnam North (10)#7-4
10. Mustang (7)#7-4
The top six teams here all win and remain the same. I seriously considered switching Southmoore and Midwest City and would’ve if the Bombers would’ve been more convincing in their win. Mustang drops from No. 7 to 10 after a 38-7 loss to Edmond Memorial. Lawton and Edmond Memorial each moved up a spot. Putnam North, despite the loss, moved up a spot to No. 9.
