Putnam City will face Edmond Memorial this week in their regular season finale and for the Pirates it may tell the story on where or if they will play in the first round of the Class 6A playoffs.
Both teams are coming off wins over rivals. Memorial (7-2) handled Edmond North and PC took down PC (5-4) West Friday. But Memorial would have to be consdiered the favorite.
”For us to beat them we’re going to have to play our best,” PC coach Mark Little said. “It’s going to take an extreme effort. Their defense is outstanding and their offense has been improving. We’ve basically nickled and dimed our way to this point.”
