Déjà vu for Broken Bow

Broken Bow has only netted 13 points in the last two weeks. But the Savages do have a victory, one that was all too familiar to them.
Five years ago, Broken Bow defeated Sallisaw 7-0. Last Friday, it was a repeat as Broken Bow outlasted them again 7-0.
“It really did just come down to us making one more play,” coach Greg Werner said.
The hits just keep coming as 3-1, 1-0 district foe Hilldale makes its way to Broken Bow Friday night.
Hilldale is coming off an impressive 42-10 victory over Poteau to start its district campaign.
Werner said he has no special plan to try to stop the high-powered Hilldale offense, saying when trying to adapt to other teams, that’s when the real trouble starts to happen.
Broken Bow will be without its starting nose guard, Colten Meddock. The 215-pound senior has an ankle injury.
Four in a row? Eufaula has raced out to a 3-1 start and has scored more than 40 points in each of its last three contests, including a 48-12 win over Savanna last week.
First-year coach Johnny Bohannon has been impressed with a lot of things, most notably the play of his quarterback, Ethan Sharp.
“He’s really learning how to control the game,” Bohannon said. “He’s making solid throws but his natural leadership has really been a bright spot.”
With game five against Heavener, it’s a throwback game, said Bohannon. What he means by that is with all the spread offenses running wild, Heavener simplifies things: good ol’ Power I.
“It is a tough adjustment,” Bohannon said. “You play all these teams who are looking to air it out more that you almost forget that there are teams who will just try to out-muscle you.”
Bohannon said besides Sharp, the play of Trevor Walch has been a big reason for the 3-1 start.
“It’s tough to say what Trevor does because he does just about everything,” Bohannon said.
