Clinton loss? Fugetaboutit!
By Matt Patterson
Took in the Kingfisher-Marlow game (scrimmage) Friday night. If Kingfisher had any hangover from their 4 OT loss to Clinton there was no sign of it in their 48-7 drubbing of the Outlaws.
If Kingfisher advances far, it will be because of their defense which held Marlow to under 100 total yards. Jakob Gaither and Co. were dominating, picking off 5 passes and returning a fumble for a TD.
Mild surprise: I was surprised to see Edmond Memorial hang around with Norman North in the T-Wolves’ lackluster 24-14 win. Memorial had a solid year but if Norman North is to be considered the best team in the West, they need to pick it up a little. As of now, Putnam City is the superior team.
Buyer’s remorse: I picked Carl Albert to win 5A and I’m beginning to regret it. Guthrie steamrolled Ardmore in round one, putting up 61 on the Tigers. Guthrie may be the best high school football team in Oklahoma right now. Nobody is playing better in all three phases of the game, including Jenks and Union.

Hold your horses, Matt. I don’t see Carl Albert as being a bad pick. The Guthrie/CA game could have gone either way. The playoffs have a long way to go yet.
