McGuinness looking like a contender again

McGuinness got off to a rough start to its 2008 season.
Consecutive losses to Guthrie and Tulsa Bishop Kelley made people think that McGuinness’ dominance might be over. But now, the Irish have won six games in a row and look like a contender for their third straight Class 4A championship.
“The first two weeks we played some really good teams,” senior tight end Gabe Ikard said. “Even though we got a couple losses, which for the last few years we haven’t been used to, ultimately it made us better. Those were two of the best teams in the state.”
The Irish opened up the last two seasons with Kingfisher, and when Kingfisher didn’t want to continue that series, McGuinness coach Kenny Young put Guthrie in its place.
Playing good competition always makes a team better, and Guthrie is certainly tough. And Tulsa Kelley is always a solid team and a rival to McGuinness.
