All-City Conference Week-By-Week
Wanting to check out All-City football throughout the season but don’t have allegiance to a particular team?
Here’s a week-by-week look at the best games in the ACAC:
Week 1: Millwood at Star Spencer. Both figure to be state title contenders in their respective classes and feature some of the best talent in the state, led my Millwood’s Trayvon Henry, Josh Turner, Kevonte Richardson and Star’s Darren Rideau.
Week 2: Douglass at Millwood (1 p.m. Saturday). Here’s the Falcons again, going against another 4A power in Douglass. The Trojans bring a different look than Star Spencer, led by their linebacking corps that features Corey Mitchell.
Other good bets: John Marshall at Centennial (Budding rivalry could heat up this season), Tulsa Central at Northeast (Central should win this game but features the top players in the state in Demarco Cobbs).
Week 3: Toss up: Millwood at McGuinness or Star Spencer at Douglass. Both are Friday night. Bob Przybylo and I were just talking about who was going to cover what that night and I can’t decide which of these games I want to see. McGuinness doesn’t have the star power they’ve had the last two years but still should be contenders. Star-Douglass will feature two of the best teams in 4A. I’m leaning toward Star-Douglass right now but could be swayed the next two weeks.
Week 4: Centennial at Bethel. Not a whole lot of intrigue going on this week but Centennial should be improved from last year and could make a push toward a playoff berth under Mark Ryan. This could be abig game for them if they want to make the postseason.
Want to take a road trip? Star Spencer at McLoud or Douglass at Elk City.
Week 5: Douglass at Southeast. Douglass should win this game but Southeast is another of those team that could be right on the edge of the playoffs, one way or the other.
Week 6: Lexington at Millwood. If Millwood is to trip up anytime during district play, this figures to be the week for them to do it. They shouldn’t, but Lexington is about the only team in the district that can hang with the Falcons.
Others to watch: Cushing at Star Spencer, Southeast at Elk City.
Week 7: Douglass at McGuinness. Still stunned someone didn’t decide to televise this matchup. Last year’s battle at Douglass was epic, with the Irish winning on a late goal-line stand.
Road trip: Southeast at Weatherford
Week 8: Weatherford at Douglass. Watch two of the best linebackers in the state in Weatherford’s Kale Sawatzky and Douglass’ Corey Mitchell.
Week 9: Centennial at Millwood. Who knows how competitive this game will be but the schools are just a few miles apart. If Centennial gets competitive, this could be another budding rivalry for the Bison.
Week 10: Star Spencer at Glenpool. Maybe the game of the year in 4A. Whoever wins this figures to win the district title and enter the playoffs as the favorite (maybe minus Douglass) in the Class. See Star’s talented backfield tandem matchup with Glenpool running back Marco Nelson.
