Boneman’s Week 11 musings…

I’m not one to boast much. Ah wait, I can’t even finish that sentence. For once, I feel smart. I may have had the worst regular season record, but a strong 10-2 opening round has me thinking I may, just may know what I’m talking about.
In the final results, I actually lost two of the easier games with Norman North and Broken Arrow making me look silly.
But let the record show I was the only person to pick Canton, Lindsay and Hominy.
- The game of the night was for the Christian schools championship with Destiny Christian and Community Christian.
There are some nights where I’m scrambling for those Friday Night Roundup items. Um, last night was not one of those. I could have written a whole story about that Destiny Christian and CCS game.
First off, thanks to both coaching staffs for being available for postgame stuff. You have no idea how much that helps.
And if you didn’t read it, DC won its first football championship via the ol’ hook-and-lateral on the final play of the game. Gil Davila from Kyle Lynch who caught the pass from Ryan Hanson. And let the euphoria begin. Phenomenal stuff, hope all OSSAA finals are like that.
- OK, let’s stop it, Lawton Mac is back. From just looking at the box, Shawnee took out Javon Harris and made Ryan John try to beat ‘em. Well, John did. He threw for 265 yards and four TDs in an impressive 34-0 shutout.
- What was said in that halftime speech for Blanchard? Lions ran crazy in the second half, sparked by, as usual, their defense. Blanchard had five interceptions against Bethany. Blanchard is not flashy but right now, that does not matter. At 6-5, it is over .500 for the first time this season.
- Turner Petersen of Heritage Hall continues to show why he should be one of the most sought after commodities in the state. A bum elbow didn’t allow him to play QB, so he all he does is catch passes and run a couple of times and tack on another three TDs to his ledger. Barry Sanders Jr. also had a nice 29-yard TD run. Heritage Hall and Bridge Creek should be a fun 2A scrap.
- Oh, and don’t forget about Chandler. Neal Bacon’s boys took a 50-0 lead in the first half. Same with Lincoln Christian who had a 42-0 lead at the break.
- My boy, Jason Kersey, will have much more on Miami’s OT win against Tulsa East Central. This isn’t March, but man, was that a bracket buster if I’ve ever seen one?
- And no, I’m not perfect. I am the Stooge who picked Porter to win Class B. Whoops, congrats to Depew on the win.
- Kudos to District B-1. I said it was the toughest district, and then wham, Garber, Ringwood, Canton and Laverne all dominate in first-round victories. Every now and then, I get something right.
We’re through round 1, what impressed/shocked you the most? And looking ahead, does any game top Guthrie/Booker T. in the second round? And now we’re only hours away from Brock Lesnar vs. Randy Couture, whoo hoo, I made it through the week.
