Boneman’s Week 8 musings…
By Robert Przybylo

Well, after a two-week absence, I was back to being your “all-knowing” eye in the sky Friday night. Some things have changed drastically since I was last with you, looking at you El Reno and Norman North. Others, eh, par for the course (Bombers). Player of the week nominations and the other good stuff, send it this way. Let’s roll…
- I don’t know if there was a true eye-popping score from last night, but there were some things that caught my attention. Break up Checotah. 8-0 with a resounding 41-0 win against Roland. Chris Carr with four more touchdowns. Man, Checotah might just be known for more than Carrie Underwood. Side note: Checotah fans, how old is that joke to you guys at this point? I’ll come up with something original next week.
- How about that bounce back by Guthrie? What does Bluejays QB Keaton Callins need to do to get some love? Another three-touchdown performance in the 35-17 win against a tough Shawnee defense.
- My 6A sleeper is definitely Edmond North right now. Cody Crabaugh had another solid performance last night. The Huskies have a deep set of receivers and Joe Aska and Qua’Don Henderson give you all you need at RB. Defense is maturing, all signs point up right now for Jeremy Dombek and company. Looking forward to (and wish I was there) the showdown with Edmond Memorial and North next week.
- Heritage Hall impressed me last night. Nothing spectacular, just a solid 42-7 win against a formidable Newkirk team. Newkirk’s not that bad, added to the drive to get there, but the Chargers certainly did not lay an egg. Turner Petersen threw for two touchdowns and ran for another. Looks like the trick play worked last night with Graham King throwing a 63-yard bomb to Tanner France as well.
- I don’t get to brag too much about my picks (just look at my record), but kudos to Purcell. I never would have imagined freshman QB Cole Swayze running for almost 250 yards and three touchdowns, but you take ‘em however you can get ‘em, right? Purcell has gone under the radar here lately. I don’t think there’s a chance of that continuing anymore.
- After being 0-2, look out for the CHA Crusaders. Six wins in a row and very possibly could run the table the next two weeks. Look at the scores. I know I hyped up Chas Clemens in today’s roundup, but it’s the defense. After allowing 43 and 31 points in the first two games, CHA hasn’t allowed more than 14 points since.
- Couple of favorites doing what they do best with Max White of Durant and Dax Dilbeck of Deer Creek. Both ran for ridiculous amounts of yards in blowout wins. They’re not mirror images of each other, but they’re pretty similar. Dax will be at Oregon State while if memory serves me right, Max’s future is in baseball.
- I want Destiny Christian’s Arthur Mahoney and Community Christian’s Chris Potter on the same team. I want to see what would happen. The two only combined for 12 touchdowns this week. Mahoney only rushed for 284 while Potter only threw for 472, off nights for both. Seriously, the Christian school playoffs will be a lot of fun as always this season.
- How good is Edmond Memorial’s Kameron Doolittle? Every game in some shape or form, he makes a difference. Telling you, do the trick-or-treatin’ late at night, don’t miss the Bulldogs and Huskies next Friday.
- I touched on it in the roundup, but what about that game between Davis and Sulphur? That would have been a fun one to have been at. Davis stopping Sulphur at the 2 yard line? You can’t write scripts like that.
- Odd score of the night: Muldrow 3, Fort Gibson 0, OT. Muldrow fans, clue me in.
Well, I’ve bored you enough for one day. Let me know what I missed. Now it’s time for a long day of football. For the record, OU, Texas, Ohio State, LSU will win while our old friend Gerald Jones will help out with Tennessee beating Alabama. But like I said, look at my record, I don’t know much.
