Douglass’ defense the difference

For the second consecutive week, Douglass’ defense dominated teams that have been known for putting up big offensive numbers.
In Friday night’s 14-0 win over Wagoner, the Trojans held the Bulldogs to just 44 total yards — five rushing — to advance to this week’s Class 4A semifinal against Weatherford.
But it’s not like Wagoner didn’t have chances to score.
The Bulldogs had the ball with first and goal from the 2 midway through the third. Douglass’ defense held strong, though, helped by a Wagoner penalty, before the Bulldogs missed a field goal.
Wagoner had another chance to score late in the game, starting in Douglass territory, but once again, the Trojans’ defense held.
Douglass, which allowed 14 points in each of the last four regular season games, has now put up back-to-back shutouts to open the playoffs.
