Edmond: Week 10 recap…

We were one game away from an Edmond sweep this week. But to be honest, Lawton Mac was never in real danger against Deer Creek. Couple of teams are staying home and couple are moving on to the playoffs.
Memorial (7-3, 6-1)
Welcome back, D’Juan Brooks. With Cale Olbert hurtin’, Brooks was the running force for the Bulldogs in a 15-0 win vs. Putnam City, scoring his first touchdown of the year and running for 171 yards.
Second shutout in a row for the defense and third in the six-game winning streak as that group is just plain stingy.
And if you read Sunday’s paper, I give some overdue credit to kicker Will Conant. He’s been so solid that he no longer stands out in my mind. But he is very impressive.
Up next: First-round home date with Mustang. I’ve called it the best first round game in the state. It’s a debatable point (for sure), but for my money, it’s the cream of a delicious crop.
North (8-2, 5-2)
Welcome back, Joe Aska Jr. Not that he really went anywhere, but Aska was back to being the beast we all know he is in a dominant 43-0 win against Westmoore.
This was exactly the type of game the Huskies needed heading into the playoffs. A no-doubt-about-it blowout win.
Townsend looked good (from the reports I had) and that is just as key. And the defense did what it always does.
Up next: Ooh, a tough one at Lawton (I’ll be there). When North has been tested recently, it has fallen short. Here’s a chance for redemption.
Santa Fe (3-7, 2-5)
Not much more to add about Bruce Gowen’s club that I haven’t already said. A great finish to a tumultuous season as the Wolves closed the 2009 campaign with a 34-14 win against Moore.
Here’s what was fun, though. In the second half, you had freshman Trevan Smith (Reggie’s brother) lined up at one corner and Phillip Sumpter (Steven’s brother) on the other.
Interested to see where Brian Mills heads up. He’s got a bunch of Ivy League schools knocking on his door. Safe to say, he has a bright future ahead.
Deer Creek (4-6, 3-4)
A 3-0 early lead turned into a 34-3 Lawton MacArthur lead, and the writing was on the wall in a 48-30 loss.
Antlers were down several key members, and Hunter Dinkines and Joel Blumenthal gave it their best shot at quarterback.
Good thing is several key components will be back for the Antlers. Injuries had this season taking a detour from what could have been.
