			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Class 6A</strong><br />
1. Tulsa Union (1)#5-0<br />
2. Jenks (2)#4-1<br />
3. Midwest City (3)#5-0<br />
4. Broken Arrow (4)#4-1<br />
5. Norman (5)#5-0<br />
6. Edmond North (7)#5-0<br />
7. Putnam City (9)#5-0<br />
8. Edmond Santa Fe (NR)#4-1<br />
9. Owasso (8)#3-2<br />
10. Lawton (6)#3-2</p>
<p>A couple of times a year I throw out my rankings and start fresh, take an overall look at the season and don’t constrain myself with past rankings. This is one of those weeks and while their figures to be other classes that are more drastically affected, there is a bit of that here. The biggest questions in my mind were where to place Edmond Santa Fe (and Lawton) and what to do with Putnam City. I considered dropping Broken Arrow a spot but the Tigers still stand as the only team to really challenge Union this season and I’ll give them their small bump Friday. Edmond Santa Fe goes from just outside to No. 8 after their win at Lawton. The Wolverines drop to No. 10. Owasso stays in at No. 9 but has a tough test this week against Union.</p>
<p><span id="more-16664"></span></p>
<p><strong>Class 5A</strong><br />
1. Guthrie (2)#5-0<br />
2. Lawton MacArthur (5)#5-0<br />
3. Carl Albert (3)#5-0<br />
4. Tulsa East Central (1)#5-0<br />
5. McAlester (4)#5-0<br />
6. Deer Creek (6)#4-1<br />
7. Tulsa Washington (7)#2-3<br />
8. Tulsa Kelley (8)#3-1<br />
9. Ardmore (9)#2-3<br />
10. Coweta (10)#2-3</p>
<p>There’s no shame in being any one of the top five teams here although there was some definite shaking up as I reevaluated from scratch. Guthrie has won every one of its game by 28 or more points, helping the Bluejays move to the top spot. Tulsa East Central falls to No. 4 after their close call against Coweta. Any of the five teams on top could come out with a gold ball but it was time to make some adjustments there. On the bottom half, it hurts that I can’t include Tulsa Central here but looking over their resumes, I’ve got to leave Ardmore and Coweta in ahead of them. Ardmore has played Carl Albert and McAlester tighter than anyone this season and their other loss was to Lawton MacArthur. Their schedule to start has been tough but they shouldn’t lose the rest of the way. Coweta pushed Tulsa East Central and Tulsa Kelley to the brink and their other loss was a close one to 4A power Wagoner. Tulsa Central gets its chance for a statement this week when it faces East Central.</p>
<p><strong>Class 4A</strong><br />
1. Douglass (1)#4-1<br />
2. Wagoner (2)#5-0<br />
3. Catoosa (3)#5-0<br />
4. Clinton (4)#4-1<br />
5. Harrah (5)#5-0<br />
6. Elk City (7)#5-0<br />
7. McGuinness (8)#3-2<br />
8. Hilldale (10)#4-1<br />
9. Sallisaw (9)#3-2<br />
10. Broken Bow (6)#3-2</p>
<p>There wasn’t much shuffling here, save for Broken Bow and Hilldale. Catoosa and Wagoner are on a collision course toward what should be a very entertaining game Oct. 20. Elk City has been impressive but gets a tough test this week against No. 7 McGuinness. Douglass and Clinton’s losses don’t count against them because of the competition they came against. Hilldale got its statement win at Broken Bow but the Hornets win Week 1 against Pryor is looking better and better and their only loss came to No. 2 Wagoner.</p>
<p><strong>Class 3A</strong><br />
1. Heritage Hall (1)#5-0<br />
2. Anadarko (2)#5-0<br />
3. Cascia Hall (3)#5-0<br />
4. Bethany (4)#4-0<br />
5. Metro Christian (5)#5-0<br />
6. Tuttle (6)#5-0<br />
7. Purcell (7)#5-0<br />
8. Kingfisher (8)#5-0<br />
9. Seminole (9)#5-0<br />
10. Berryhill (10)#5-0</p>
<p>I did the same thing here as in other classes and came up with the same thing I had. I considered swapping Seminole and Berryhill on the bottom end and Kingfisher and Purcell one step above that but didn’t pull the trigger in the end. Berryhill’s win over Glenpool in the first week doesn’t look as strong as it did then (not that it’s not a big win still) and Seminole beat a pretty good Stigler team on the road. Berryhill plays at Cascia Hall this week in what should be one of the week’s best games.</p>
<p><strong>Class 2A</strong><br />
1. Davis (1)#4-1<br />
2. Millwood (2)#4-1<br />
3. Lincoln Christian (3)#5-0<br />
4. Stroud (5)#5-0<br />
5. Jones (4)#5-0<br />
6. Vian (7)#5-0<br />
7. Hennessey (6)#3-2<br />
8. Colcord (8)#5-0<br />
9. Talihina (10)#5-0<br />
10. Frederick (NR)#5-0</p>
<p>Made a mistake last week here dropping Frederick out in the first place. Their win over St. Mary was very similar to Washington’s and Washington has two losses, which pushed Frederick into the rankings. Vian moves up a spot while Hennessey drops while Stroud and Jones switch places. Stroud has still given up just seven points all season and shut out four of its opponents. There are still six undefeated team that remain unranked: Comanche, Talihina, Newkirk, Chelsea, Wyandotte and Adair. All are in districts with ranked teams, though, so they’ll get their chances.</p>
<p><strong>Class A</strong><br />
1. Woodland (1)#4-0<br />
2. Thomas (2)#5-0<br />
3. Wynnewood (3)#5-0<br />
4. Minco (5)#5-0<br />
5. Wayne (7)#4-1<br />
6. Morrison (6)#4-1<br />
7. Mangum (9)#4-1<br />
8. Okeene (10)#3-2<br />
9. Elmore City (8)#4-1<br />
10. Foyil (NR)#3-2</p>
<p>At the top, this class was relatively easy as I was pretty comfortable with the top three. After that, there was some switching around after No. 4 Afton fell to Foyil 33-8. First, I swapped Wayne and Morrison. Wayne’s overall resume is slightly better at this point. Mangum and Okeene move up two spots while Elmore drops one after its loss to Wynnewood. Foyil moves in after an impressive win over Afton, beating out Rush Springs for that final spot despite Rush’s 5-0 record. That was a tough choice but Foyil’s two losses came to a pair of still-undefeated Class 2A teams&#8211;Chelsea and Adair.</p>
<p><strong>Class B</strong><br />
1. Caddo (1)#5-0<br />
2. Davenport (2)#5-0<br />
3. Kiefer (5)#4-1<br />
4. Fox (6)#4-1<br />
5. Dewar (7)#3-2<br />
6. Gans (4)#4-1<br />
7. Cherokee (8)#4-1<br />
8. Seiling (9)#4-1<br />
9. Wetumka (10)#4-1<br />
10. Pond Creek-Hunter (NR)#4-1</p>
<p>It was tough to drop Laverne all the way out from No. 3 but looking schedule-by-schedule, it had to be done. Laverne beat Cherokee, 45-8, in Week 2, but fell to Pond Creek-Hunter on Friday night. Pond Creek-Hunter’s only loss came to Seiling, who lost to Cherokee by two on Friday. So Seiling pulls off the rare moving up by dropping a game feat by leapfrogging Laverne. Pond Creek-Hunter has to stay in ahead of Laverne so Laverne falls all the way out but still has Seiling remaining on its schedule. It’s tough to ignore what Welch is doing in B-4 but they’ve beaten just one team that is above .500 to this point. They play Kiefer on Oct. 20.</p>
<p><strong>Class C</strong><br />
1. Deer Creek-Lamont (1)#5-0<br />
2. Timberlake (3)#4-0<br />
3. Temple (4)#5-0<br />
4. Sharon-Mutual (10)#3-2<br />
5. Shattuck (2)#4-1<br />
6. Covington-Douglas (5)#4-1<br />
7. Tipton (6)#4-1<br />
8. Coyle (7)#4-1<br />
9. Forgan (8)#4-1<br />
10. Ryan (9)#3-2</p>
<p>The big change here came due to Sharon-Mutual’s 38-22 win at Shattuck. Sharon-Mutual jumped all the way from No. 10 to No. 4. Its only losses came to Seiling and Timberlake and they remain the only team to score on Timberlake this season (They scored 44 in the loss). Shattuck drops just below Sharon-Mutual while Covington-Douglas, Tipton, Coyle, Forgan and Ryan all drop a spot. Arkoma is the lone undefeated team remaining unranked but Keota is the only over .500 team they’ve beaten.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Class 6A</strong><br />
1. Tulsa Union (1)#4-0<br />
2. Jenks (2)#3-1<br />
3. Midwest City (3)#4-0<br />
4. Broken Arrow (4)#3-1<br />
5. Norman (5)#4-0<br />
6. Lawton (6)#3-1<br />
7. Edmond North (7)#4-0<br />
8. Owasso (9)#2-2<br />
9. Putnam City (10)#4-0<br />
10. Stillwater (NR)#3-1</p>
<p>With Westmoore falling out from No. 8 after its loss to Edmond Santa Fe, there were two logical candidates to take the spot: Edmond Santa Fe, who was ranked before its loss to Midwest City the week before, and Stillwater. I chose the Pioneers based on their recent performances but just barely. Santa Fe gets a tough test next week at Lawton. A good performance there, win or lose, gives the Wolves a chance to move back in.</p>
<p><span id="more-16572"></span></p>
<p><strong>Class 5A</strong><br />
1. Tulsa East Central (1)#4-0<br />
2. Guthrie (2)#4-0<br />
3. Carl Albert (3)#4-0<br />
4. McAlester (4)#4-0<br />
5. Lawton MacArthur (5)#4-0<br />
6. Deer Creek (6)#3-1<br />
7. Tulsa Washington (7)#1-3<br />
8. Tulsa Kelley (8)#2-1<br />
9. Ardmore (9)#1-3<br />
10. Coweta (10)#3-1</p>
<p>Ardmore and Tulsa Washington still in the rankings at 1-3? Absolutely. I’ve never understood why teams drop in rankings after they lose to a high ranked opponent (in most cases). While Tulsa Washington has plenty to work on, the Hornets are still very talented, especially on the defensive side. They lost to Carl Albert, Abilene, Texas, and Tulsa East Central. They’re going to be right there at the end, regardless of what their record now is. Ardmore is similar. They beat Ada to start the season before running into the murderer’s row of Carl Albert, McAlester and Lawton MacArthur the last few weeks. They shouldn’t lose the rest of the way. Speaking of Lawton Mac, I think next week is the week I totally deconstruct my rankings in this class especially and build from scratch. I think the Highlanders might be the best team in the class right now, although I think all five of the top teams are very good. The team I hate to leave out is Tulsa Central, who is 4-0 going into next week’s game against Grove.</p>
<p><strong>Class 4A</strong><br />
1. Douglass (1)#3-1<br />
2. Wagoner (2)#4-0<br />
3. Catoosa (3)#4-0<br />
4. Clinton (5)#3-1<br />
5. Harrah (6)#4-0<br />
6. Broken Bow (7)#3-1<br />
7. Elk City (8)#4-0<br />
8. McGuinness (4)#2-2<br />
9. Sallisaw (9)#2-2<br />
10. Hilldale (NR)#3-1</p>
<p>McGuinness drops four spots after getting manhandled on the road at Clinton. They might be a better team than that but hard to tell right now as the only varsity team they’ve beaten to this point was Tulsa Kelley, another team I’m not sure what to think of through four weeks. I suspect McGuinness will climb up. Hilldale moves into the rankings after a big win over Poteau gave the Hornets back-to-back blowouts after playing Wagoner pretty tough in Week 2. Piedmont and Cleveland gave me pause in those spots, though. Piedmont because of its offense and Cleveland due to its defense. Cleveland has allowed just 33 points all season. Elgin dropped out after getting thumped by Piedmont</p>
<p><strong>Class 3A</strong><br />
1. Heritage Hall (1)#4-0<br />
2. Anadarko (2)#4-0<br />
3. Cascia Hall (3)#3-0<br />
4. Bethany (4)#4-0<br />
5. Metro Christian (5)#4-0<br />
6. Tuttle (6)#4-0<br />
7. Purcell (7)#4-0<br />
8. Kingfisher (8)#4-0<br />
9. Seminole (10)#4-0<br />
10. Berryhill (NR)#4-0</p>
<p>I’ve been looking to get Berryhill into the rankings for a few weeks but since no team in my top 10 had lost a game through three weeks, I couldn’t do it. Sequoyah Tahlequah finally broke that stretch this week with its loss to Verdigris. Everything else remains the same with Seminole moving up one slot. There are several other undefeated teams in the class right now as well.</p>
<p><strong>Class 2A</strong><br />
1. Davis (1)#3-1<br />
2. Millwood (2)#3-1<br />
3. Lincoln Christian (3)#4-0<br />
4. Jones (4)#4-0<br />
5. Stroud (5)#4-0<br />
6. Hennessey (6)#2-2<br />
7. Vian (7)#4-0<br />
8. Colcord (8)#4-0<br />
9. Washington (9)#3-1<br />
10. Talihina (10)#4-0</p>
<p>Nothing changes here as all of the top 10 teams won last week. Hennessey is ranked at No. 6 because their only losses came close against Jones and to 3A No. 8 Kingfisher.</p>
<p><strong>Class A</strong><br />
1. Woodland (1)#3-0<br />
2. Thomas (2)#4-0<br />
3. Wynnewood (3)#4-0<br />
4. Afton (4)#4-0<br />
5. Minco (5)#4-0<br />
6. Morrison (6)#3-1<br />
7. Wayne (7)#3-1<br />
8. Elmore City (8)#4-0<br />
9. Mangum (9)#3-1<br />
10. Okeene (10)#2-2</p>
<p>Nothing changes here either as all of the top 10 teams won.</p>
<p><strong>Class B</strong><br />
1. Caddo (1)#4-0<br />
2. Davenport (3)#4-0<br />
3. Laverne (4)#4-0<br />
4. Gans (NR)#4-0<br />
5. Kiefer (5)#3-1<br />
6. Fox (6)#3-1<br />
7. Dewar (7)#2-2<br />
8. Cherokee (8)#3-1<br />
9. Seiling (9)#4-0<br />
10. Wetumka (2)#3-1</p>
<p>It’s hard to figure out where to slot Wetumka in here after a previously unranked Gans team beat them 52-22 Friday. I slid Davenport and Laverne up a spot before slotting Gans at No. 4. As I kept going down, comparing schedules, I wound up with Wetumka holding on at No. 10. They might be a bit better than that but of the teams ahead of them, only Cherokee has had a blowout loss (at Laverne). Wetumka isn’t likely to be challenged until the final two weeks of the season when they get zcaddo and Dewar back-to-back.</p>
<p><strong>Class C</strong><br />
1. Deer Creek-Lamont (1)#4-0<br />
2. Shattuck (2)#4-0<br />
3. Timberlake (3)#3-0<br />
4. Temple (5)#4-0<br />
5. Covington-Douglas (6)#4-0<br />
6. Tipton (4)#3-1<br />
7. Coyle (8)#4-0<br />
8. Forgan (7)#2-2<br />
9. Ryan (9)#2-2<br />
10. Sharon-Mutual (NR)#2-2</p>
<p>Covington-Douglas moves up a spot after beating previously fourth-ranked Tipton. Tipton drops a couple of spots to six after the close loss. Coyle continues to move up the rankings to No. 7 but they’ll get a tough test this week with No. 1 Deer Creek-Lamont. Sharon-Mutual moves into the rankings, replacing Thackerville in the final spot.</p>

<p>Davenport coach John Greenfield has noticed a little more enthusiasm among his players than in the past, and he thinks it’s because of the team’s high expectations for itself.</p>
<p>“The coaches mentioned it to me after the first day, that things were just a little more positive than in the past,” Greenfield said. “It’s really the best time we’ve had in two-a-days in several years.”</p>
<p>The Bulldogs return all eight starters on both offense and defense.</p>
<p>“They think they’re gonna go deep into the playoffs,” Greenfield said. “They’re very excited and confident.”<br />
Last season, Davenport lost in the second round to Wetumka. Running back Mike Miller, who rushed for 2,103 yards and 33 touchdowns as a junior in 2010, was lost at halftime of that game to an injury.</p>
<p>“As long as we can stay healthy, we’ve got a good chance,” Greenfield said.</p>

<p>It was just THAT week for Bridge Creek quarterback Ryan Spangler. Two days after signing with Gonzaga to play basketball, he threw for four touchdowns in a rout of Purcell in the first round. You couldn’t stop him on this week.</p>
<p>Spangler has thrown more than four touchdowns in a game, but in the crazy conditions Friday, no performance may have been more impressive for him.</p>
<p>He only finished with 139 yards, but he got ‘em when they mattered. It was the quick start that doomed Purcell.</p>
<p>Spangler had a little help from running back Blake Henderson. The senior rushed for three touchdowns as well to set the stage for Bridge Creek at Heritage Hall on Friday (I will be there).</p>
<p><strong>Other contenders</strong></p>
<p><strong>The Miller boys, Davenport</strong>: Mike and Matt combined for all five touchdowns as Bulldogs won a thriller, 32-28 vs. Seiling.</p>
<p><strong>T.J. Martin, Cashion</strong>: That’s how you make sure you are not victim of an upset. Martin returned two kicks for touchdowns in the 55-31 win against Turpin.</p>
<p><strong>Guthrie defense</strong>: Just another brilliant outing, this time against Durant. Lions had -37 rushing yards. Bluejays forced four turnovers to cruise to the 35-6 win.</p>
<p><strong>Steven Howard, Washington</strong>: Warriors are rolling right now. Howard was sensational scoring five touchdowns in victory against Tishomingo.</p>
<p><strong>Deaquan Wojciechowski, Lawton</strong>: I was there to witness his brilliance. Two rushing touchdowns, a punt return for a score in a fun, well-played 28-13 win vs. Edmond Memorial.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For one more time before the playoffs end, here’s the rankings in all their glory:</p>
<p>EDIT: I&#8217;ve got to get this in above the jump: I messed up in my Class 2A rankings this week. I initially (and in Sunday&#8217;s paper) had Washington above Lindsay. Lindsay beat Washington comfortably during the regular season in a win that started the Leopards on a 7-1 run that has them going to Heritage Hall for a second-round playoff game.</p>
<p><strong>Class 6A</strong><br />
1. Jenks (1)#11-0<br />
2. Tulsa Union (2)#10-1<br />
3. Broken Arrow (3)#9-2<br />
4. Southmoore (4)#10-1<br />
5. Midwest City (5)#9-2<br />
6. Bartlesville (6)#9-2<br />
7. Lawton (8)#9-2<br />
8. Edmond Memorial (9)#8-3<br />
9. Putnam North (10)#7-4<br />
10. Mustang (7)#7-4</p>
<p>The top six teams here all win and remain the same. I seriously considered switching Southmoore and Midwest City and would’ve if the Bombers would’ve been more convincing in their win. Mustang drops from No. 7 to 10 after a 38-7 loss to Edmond Memorial. Lawton and Edmond Memorial each moved up a spot. Putnam North, despite the loss, moved up a spot to No. 9.</p>
<p><span id="more-5164"></span></p>
<p><strong>Class 5A</strong><br />
1. Tulsa Kelley (1)#11-0<br />
2. El Reno (2)#11-0<br />
3. Shawnee (3)#11-0<br />
4. Carl Albert (5)#9-2<br />
5. Tulsa East Central (6)#10-1<br />
6. McAlester (7)#10-1<br />
7. Tulsa Washington (4)#5-5*<br />
8. Bixby (9)#7-4<br />
9. Tulsa Central (8)#8-3<br />
10. Guthrie (NR)#7-4<br />
*Three games forfeited.</p>
<p>I said last week that Tulsa Washington would’ve move up and after Carl Albert put it to Lawton MacArthur tonight, the Titans make the jump over the Hornets, as do Tulsa East Central and McAlester. I think that’s about as low as the Hornets are going to fall, though, unless Bixby or Guthrie goes on to win the title. Bixby moves up a spot while Tulsa Central falls one spot to No. 9. Guthrie makes its first appearance in the rankings since early in the season after a 20-12 win over Duncan. I still think Tulsa Central’s overall resume is a bit better than Guthrie’s, so for right now, the Braves stay ahead. But a strong performance next week could change that, even in a lott.</p>
<p><strong>Class 4A<br />
</strong>1. Weatherford (1)#11-0<br />
2. McGuinness (2)#9-2<br />
3. Douglass (3)#8-3<br />
4. Star Spencer (4)#9-2<br />
5. Sallisaw (6)#10-1<br />
6. Glenpool (5)#9-2<br />
7. Broken Bow (7)#8-3<br />
8. Wagoner (8)#8-3<br />
9. Oologah (10)#8-3<br />
10. Poteau (9)#8-3</p>
<p>The top four star the same as the three 4A-1 teams at the top all win. Sallisaw leaps Glenpool, though I don’t drop the Warriors much after they lose a second consecutive game because they did hold Douglass to 14 points. The reasoning there is the same I used not to drop Star, Douglass and McGuinness much after their losses during the season. Poteau hangs onto a top 10 spot despite a 35-7 loss to Oologah. Considered moving Collinsville in after its loss to Sallisaw but Collinsville did lost five games.</p>
<p><strong>Class 3A</strong><br />
1. Cascia Hall (1)#10-0<br />
2. Tuttle (2)#11-0<br />
3. Berryhill (5)#9-2<br />
4. Clinton (6)#8-3<br />
5. Sequoyah Claremore (7)#9-2<br />
6. Purcell (9)#9-2<br />
7. Blanchard (10)#8-3<br />
8. Madill (3)#10-1<br />
9. Metro Christian (4)#10-1<br />
10. Dewey (NR)#7-4</p>
<p>Some shakeup here as Madill and Metro Christian were both upset. Both fall six spots, while Berryhill, Clinton and Sequoyah Claremore move up two each. Purcell and Blanchard jump three each while Dewey’s win over Metro puts it in the rankings for the first time. But Dewey’s four losses keep it behind Metro in the overall picture.</p>
<p><strong>Class 2A</strong><br />
1. Lincoln Christian (1)#10-1<br />
2. Davis (2)#11-0<br />
3. Millwood (4)#10-1*<br />
4. Kingfisher (6)#9-2<br />
5. Bridge Creek (7)#10-1<br />
6. John Marshall (8)#9-2<br />
7. Heritage Hall (10)#7-4<br />
8. Pawhuska (NR)#9-2<br />
9. Lindsay (NR)#7-4**<br />
10. Washington (NR)#7-4**</p>
<p>*Includes forfeit win over Jones<br />
**Rankings changed after published in the paper. Lindsay and Washington switched.</p>
<p>A lot of shakeup here after Sequoyah Tahlequah’s perfect regular season ends and Vian and Plainview unexpectedly lose in the first round. Millwood jumps up a spot, Kingisher, Bridge Creek and John Marshall up two, Heritage Hall up three. Pawhuska, Washington and Lindsay all enter the rankings after impressive first-round wins.</p>
<p><strong>Class A<br />
</strong>1. Tonkawa (1)#11-0<br />
2. Ringling (2)#10-0<br />
3. Hennessey (3)#11-0<br />
4. Stroud (4)#11-0<br />
5. Talihina (5)#11-0<br />
6. Cashion (6)#11-0<br />
7. Oklahoma Bible (7)#10-1<br />
8. Central Sallisaw (8)#10-1<br />
9. Watonga (9)#9-2<br />
10. Velma-Alma (NR)#9-2</p>
<p>Easy top nine here as they all won. OCS drops out after its 7-0 loss to Oklahoma Bible but it wasn’t an easy decision. In the Saints’ place got Velma-Alma, which won its sixth consecutive game with a 48-0 win over Hollis. That’s also six consecutive games of 46 points or more for the Comets.</p>
<p><strong>Class B</strong><br />
1. Garber (1)#11-0<br />
2. Canton (2)#10-1<br />
3. Porter (3)#11-0<br />
4. Ryan (4)#11-0<br />
5. Davenport (5)#10-1<br />
6. Depew (6)#9-2<br />
7. Laverne (10)#7-4<br />
8. Kiefer (NR)#9-2<br />
9. Caddo (7)#8-3<br />
10. Weleetka (9)#6-5</p>
<p>Laverne moves up three spots with a 50-48 win over Caddo. Kiefer moves back in with a bounceback 43-6 blowout win over Gans. Caddo falls two spots and Weleetka one with their losses.</p>
<p><strong>Class C</strong><br />
1. Shattuck (1)#11-0<br />
2. Timberlake (2)#11-0<br />
3. Seiling (4)#10-1<br />
4. Deer Creek-Lamont (6)#9-2<br />
5. Tipton (7)#9-2<br />
6. Waynoka (8)#8-2<br />
7. Covington-Douglas (9)#7-4<br />
8. Forgan (NR)#7-4<br />
9. Temple (3)#9-2<br />
10. Maud (5)#10-1</p>
<p>Some big shuffling here as Temple’s loss to Waynoka drops it way down while Maud also drops heavily after losing to Covington-Douglas. Forgan moves into the rankings after a win over Victory Life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sorry for the delay from my usual late Friday night posting. Combination of a long drive back from Glenpool and trying to piece together the playoff brackets left me too tired to think straight last night by the time I would’ve been able to work on them So here they are in all their glory with a little different format this week (and I hope to do Class A-C in a similar format a bit later):</p>
<p><strong>Class 6A<br />
</strong>1. Jenks (1)#10-0<br />
Why they’re not lower: Because the Trojans are the only team to go 10-0 in Class 6A.</p>
<p>2. Tulsa Union (2)#9-1<br />
Why they’re not higher: Because the Redskins lost head-to-head to Jenks.<br />
Why they’re not lower: Because their only loss is to Jenks (a two-point win) and they beat Broken Arrow — and everyone else — on their schedule.</p>
<p>3. Broken Arrow (3)#8-2<br />
Why they’re not higher: Because the Tigers only two losses came to Jenks and Tulsa Union.<br />
Why they’re not lower: They beat everyone else, including Bartlesville last night. They also own wins over Owasso, Claremore and Tulsa Washington.</p>
<p>4. Southmoore (4)#9-1<br />
Why they’re not higher: Because they’re the only team of these top four to lose to a lower-ranked team. The SaberCats have also found themselves in more close games than any of the top four.<br />
Why they’re not lower: An impressive list of wins in non-district and 6A-1: Edmond Memorial and Midwest City in non-district and Del City, Lawton and Mustang in district play. Other than Jenks, Southmoore has the best list of wins.</p>
<p>5. Midwest City (5)#8-2<br />
Why they’re not higher: The only thing keeping the Bombers this low is non-district losses to Del City and Southmoore and its hard to vault them over the SaberCats with their previously discussed credentials.<br />
Why they’re not lower: They’ve gone through a relatively weak district and done exactly what a really good team should — destroy everyone. The Bombers closest district game was a 22-7 win over 6A-2 runner-up Edmond Memorial. None of the others were decided by less than 29 points.</p>
<p><span id="more-4922"></span></p>
<p>6. Mustang (7)#7-3<br />
Why they’re not higher: Losses to now-lower ranked Edmond North and Lawton.<br />
Why they’re not lower: I originally had Mustang No. 7 before going back and doing a side-by-side comparison with Bartlesville. Mustang has wins over playoff teams Yukon and Putnam North and you’ve still got to consider their win over Del City as a good win. Since Daniel Farrow’s return, Mustang has been among the top teams in 6A, even considering last night’s close loss.</p>
<p>7. Bartlesville (6)#8-2<br />
Why they’re not higher: Because other than their two losses, Bartlesville played just two playoff teams (Claremore and Enid) and the Enid game was close, as was the Muskogee game (35-30).<br />
Why they’re not lower: The Bruins played Jenks and Broken Arrow respectably in losses and have wins over Claremore and Enid. The schedule might not have been super-tough outside of the two losses by the Bruins did what they needed to do.</p>
<p>8. Lawton (9)#8-2<br />
Why they’re not higher: Back-to-back losses to Del City and Southmoore in the sixth and seventh weeks and, for better or worse, they beat Mustang before Daniel Farrow got going for the Broncos. The loss to the Wolverines came in Farrow&#8217;s first game back. That doesn’t change how I view Lawton and it was still a great win but it does change how I viewed the loss for Mustang, which affects the rankings as a whole.<br />
Why they’re not lower: Wins over Mustang, Putnam North and Mustang (and 5A Lawton MacArthur, which has looked a lot more like the top-level 5A team they are recently). Finishing second in a brutal 6A-1 is enough to justify a top-eight ranking.</p>
<p>9. Edmond Memorial (10)#7-3<br />
Why they’re not higher: A 1-3 start, with losses to Southmoore, Del City and Midwest City. The Bulldogs also haven’t shown the offensive explosion the teams ahead of them have, only scoring more than 28 points once — even with some teams on the schedule that should’ve turned into Memorial blowouts.<br />
Why they’re not lower: Defense. Three shutouts, the only teams scoring 20 or more points against them were Southmoore and Midwest City and just some flat-out dominant defensive performances. Neither of those teams, though, scored more than 22. The Bulldogs will go as far as their defense takes them.</p>
<p>10. Putnam North (NR)#7-3<br />
Why they’re not higher: The loss to Norman North, given the Timberwolves late-season struggles when they started playing the top part of 6A-1, holds the Panthers down.<br />
Why they’re ranked: The Panthers turned right around from that loss to Norman North and pulled off the biggest upset of the season in 6A when they knocked off Southmoore 30-28. They also closed the season with a dominating performance in a 34-7 win over a Del City team that had been pretty good this season.</p>
<p><strong>Others:</strong><br />
Owasso (6-4)<br />
Why they’re not ranked: They probably would’v’e been back in the rankings if not for a 7-3 loss to Stillwater last night.</p>
<p>Del City (7-3)<br />
Why they’re not ranked: Back-to-back losses to end the season including a blowout loss to Putnam North to end the season. The Eagles are, far and away, the best team not going to the playoffs.</p>
<p>Enid (6-4)<br />
Why they’re not ranked: Losses to Owasso and Choctaw, with one win against playoff-bound teams (10-7 over Yukon) doesn’t make for a top-10 team.</p>
<p><strong>Class 5A</strong><br />
1. Tulsa Kelley (1)#10-0<br />
Why they’re not lower: The Comets win over Tulsa Washington to begin district play was an eye-opener. That’s whne they vaulted to No. 1. But since, the Comets have kept things rolling, with wins over Bixby, Pryor and Tulsa Hale among their perfect record. And their 10-9 win over Class 4A McGuinness turned out to be a pretty good win as well.</p>
<p>2. El Reno (2)#10-0<br />
Why they’re not higher: Hard to argue with El Reno’s resume. Kelley’s just wound up being a bit better with more wins over quality opponents. But the Indians did beat Guthrie (18-0), Lawton MacArthur (42-17) and Duncan (14-7 last night) so that does give me pause.<br />
Why they’re not lower: 10-0. The blowout win over Lawton MacArthur turned out to be very impressive. El Reno’s defense is the toughest in 5A, having allowed no opponent to score more than 21 (and that was in a 47-21 win).</p>
<p>3. Shawnee (3)#10-0<br />
Why they’re not higher: Part of it has to do with where Shawnee started the season ranked and that Tulsa Kelley turned in a signature win that vaulted them ahead of the Wolves. There’s certainly an argument to be made for Shawnee as No. 1 (and Tulsa Kelley and El Reno as well).<br />
Why they’re not lower: Like El Reno, 10-0. With only one other Class 5A team with as many as nine wins, third is as low as you can justify the Wolves, especially with wins over Carl Albert and Guthrie on the resume.</p>
<p>4. Tulsa Washington (4)#5-5*<br />
Why they’re not higher: Losses to Broken Arrow and Tulsa Kelley back-to-back earlier in the season. They then had to forfeit three more games that ended any playoff hopes.<br />
Why they’re not lower: First of all, let’s address the forfeits. In each one of those games, Tulsa Washington would’ve won anyway. The player in question didn’t make the kind of difference that would’ve changed the outcome. That’s not to say the forfeits are unfair. They absolutely make sense and the rule as its written is the way to enforce it. To on-the-field performance, the Hornets started the season with a win over then-No. 2 Carl Albert and ended with a win over Bixby. They also handed Tulsa East Central its only loss of the season. The Hornets, even at 5-5, are deserving of a No. 4 ranking. They’re also deserving of the asterisk that goes along with the forfeits that are keeping them out of the playoffs.<br />
*Record includes three forfeits of games won by Tulsa Washington.</p>
<p>5. Carl Albert (5)#8-2<br />
Why they’re not higher: Losses to Tulsa Washington and Shawnee, plain and simple. If you take only on-the-field performance into the equation, as I’ve said I was doing with Tulsa Washington, fifth is the highest you can make an argument for Carl Albert.<br />
Why they’re not lower: Wins over Duncan (38-6), Guthrie (40-7) and Ardmore (47-14), all playoff teams and none particularly close. The Titans weren’t challenged in any of their eight wins during the regular season. Just as an argument can’t be made for Carl Albert to be higher when you take BTW’s on-the-field performance into the equation, an argument can’t be made for the Titans to be lower. They did get beat soundly by Washington but led Shawnee late.</p>
<p>6. Tulsa East Central (6)#9-1<br />
Why they’re not higher: A 28-7 Week 2 loss to Tulsa Washington. If the Cardinals find a way to win that game and everything else is the same, its probably East Central who sits atop the rankings. They did, though, also have close calls against Tulsa Central (trailed into the second half before they wore the Braves down), Tulsa Edison (17-6 final) and Ada (24-21).<br />
Why they’re not lower: Wins over playoff-bound Tulsa Hale, Wagoner, Tulsa Central, Ada and McAlester. The Cardinals are also one of only five 5A teams to register nine or more regular-season wins.</p>
<p>7. McAlester (7)#9-1<br />
Why they’re not higher: A 22-6 loss to Tulsa East Central. That’s the only reason.<br />
Why they’re not lower: Wins over 4A Broken Bow and 5A playoff-bound Ardmore in non-district play and wins over Tulsa Central and Ada in district play helped the Buffaloes cap an impressive regular season.</p>
<p>8. Tulsa Central (9)#8-2<br />
Why they’re not higher: A pair of close losses to teams ranked ahead of them — Tulsa East Central and McAlester.<br />
Why they’re not lower: The Braves stayed close in both of their losses and beat Ada to finish third in their district. They also have one of the state’s top playmakers in Demarco Cobbs.</p>
<p>9. Bixby (8)#6-4<br />
Why they’re not higher: The Spartans 6-4 record is by far the worst on-the-field record of the ranked teams. Bixby lose to Jenks, Glenpool, Tulsa Kelley and Tulsa Washington. Not a bad loss among them but they still lost.<br />
Why they’re not lower: They did beat Claremore, Pryor and Tulsa Hale and played both Kelley and Washington close. Bixby is still a top 10 team.</p>
<p>10. Duncan (10)#8-2<br />
Why they’re not higher: In the end, the resumes of Bixby and Tulsa Central wound up being slightly better. They also didn’t blow out some teams that maybe they should’ve, beating Altus by just one and Deer Creek by three. Like it or not, style points matter sometimes.<br />
Why they’re ranked: The Demons beat Lawton MacArthur 35-34 and stayed closes than anyone against El Reno last night. I considered dropping them out but in the end, Duncan deserves to be in the top 10.</p>
<p><strong>Others:</strong><br />
Lawton MacArthur (7-3)<br />
Why they’re not ranked: The loss to Duncan wound up keeping the Highlanders out.</p>
<p>Guthrie (6-4)<br />
Why they’re not ranked: Just one win over a playoff-bound team (Ardmore). The Bluejays were only blown out once (a 40-7 loss to Carl Albert) but lost all their key games other than the Ardmore win.</p>
<p>Ada (7-3)<br />
Why they’re not ranked: Lost three of their last five games, all to ranked teams. Like Guthrie, Ada’s lone win over a playoff-bound team came against Ardmore.</p>
<p><strong>Class 4A</strong><br />
1. Weatherford (2)#10-0<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: Easiest answer since Jenks. The Eagles are the lone undefeated team in 4A and won the district with the most serious title contenders in the state.</p>
<p>2. McGuinness (3)#8-2<br />
Why they’re not ranked higher: Head-to-head loss to a Weatherford team that went undefeated.<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: The Irish beat Douglass head-to-head and had impressive wins over Guthrie and Millwood in non-district play. Even in the loss to Weatherford, McGuinness fell just one point short. The Irish’s only other loss was to 5A No. 1 Tulsa Kelley, also a one-point loss.</p>
<p>3. Douglass (4)#7-3<br />
Why they’re not ranked higher: Head-to-head losses to Weatherford and McGuinness.<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: Their losses came 14-7 to the two top teams in 4A and by six to a Millwood team that then had Trayvon Henry, they beat Star Spencer 34-28 (which wound up being the tiebreaker for the third spot).</p>
<p>4. Star Spencer (6)#8-2<br />
Why they’re not ranked higher: Non-district losses to Millwood and Douglass. That’s it. Since, the Bobcats have been nothing short of dominant.<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: 34-20 against Glenpool, ending the Warriors’ 23-game winning streak and scoring more than anyone had on Glenpool since 2006.</p>
<p>5. Glenpool (1)#9-1<br />
Why they’re not ranked higher: See Star Spencer.<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: Wins over Bixby and Berryhill in non-district and an altogether dominating run through district play before running into Star Spencer.</p>
<p>6. Sallisaw (5)#9-1<br />
Why they’re not ranked higher: A 35-16 loss to Wagoner in Week 9. Although Matt Oberste was injured early in the game, such a decisive win by Wagoner pushed Sallisaw way down.<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: The Black Diamonds did beat Poteau and Broken Bow to win another deep 4A district.</p>
<p>7. Broken Bow (7)#7-3<br />
Why they’re not ranked higher: Three consecutive losses to McAlester, Metro Christian and Sallisaw early in the season. Can’t really make a an argument to go ahead of Sallisaw with the record disparity.<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: All of those losses were close (7 points in the first two and 13 to Sallisaw) and the Savages beat Wagoner in a close game and blew out Poteau.</p>
<p>8. Wagoner (8)#7-3<br />
Why they’re not ranked higher: Losses to Tulsa East Central, Poteau and Broken Bow. The Poteau loss is what really pushed the Bulldogs down at the time.<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: They did hand Sallisaw its only loss, Matt Oberste injury or no. The losses, also, were all against good teams and the two district losses came by a combined four points.</p>
<p>9. Poteau (9)#8-2<br />
Why they’re not ranked higher: Back-to-back blowout losses to Sallisaw and Broken Bow after the Pirates pulled off an impressive upset over Waoner.<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: 15-14 win over Wagoner. Its by far the Pirates’ signature win. Other than that, Poteau beat just one Oklahoma playoff bound team and that was 2A Spiro.</p>
<p>10. Oologah (10)#7-3<br />
Why they’re not ranked higher: Oologah lost to eventual district-winner Jay 33-16. The other two losses were too damaging, as they lose to 6A playoff team Claremore and a pretty good 3A Sequoyah Claremore team.<br />
Why they’re ranked: Wins over district rivals Collinsville, Catoosa and Grove. That and Jay’s shutout loss to Catoosa last week.</p>
<p><strong>Others:<br />
</strong>Jay (7-3)<br />
Why they’re not ranked: Non-dsitrict losses to Gravette, Ark., and Pryor kept Jay out early and a 9-0 loss to Catoosa kept it from entering the rankings last week.</p>
<p>Tecumseh (8-2)<br />
Why they’re not ranked: Tecumseh entered the rankinigs twice and prompty got throttled by a combined 89-6 by Glenpool and Star Spencer. No shame there but they did need overtime to beat Cleveland last night and played Noble, Harrah, McLoud and Seminole close. That’s way too many close calls to be ranked with the blowout losses.</p>
<p>Catoosa (7-3)<br />
Why they’re not ranked: An overtime loss to Tahlequah, blowout losses to Tulsa Kelley and Oologah. None too devastating but combined with close wins over Skiatook, Collinsville and Grove and Jay and Oologah are better candidates for rankings in a tight 4A-3.</p>
<p><strong>Class 3A</strong><br />
1. Cascia Hall (1)#9-0<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: The defending champions have been stellar this season, with only a Week 9 win over Sequoyah Claremore being decided by loss than 18 points.</p>
<p>2. Tuttle (2)#10-0<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: Perfect regular-season, including wins over Clinton, Elgin, Blanchard and Kingfisher.<br />
Why they’re not ranked higher: Cascia Hall’s perfection.</p>
<p>3. Madill (3)#10-0<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: Dominating 10-0 season. They Bethany game was Madill’s only close game (17-10). No other even came closer than 24 points. They Wildcats three primary offensive threats are as good of a trio as any in the state regardless of class.<br />
Why they’re not ranked higher: Cascia Hall and Tuttle’s perfection.</p>
<p>4. Metro Christian (4)#10-0<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: Metro beat Broken Bow, in non-district play, Checotah in district play and the two-point win over Roland doesn’t look as puzzling now as it did at the time. Hard to argue with 10-0.<br />
Why they’re not ranked higher: Cascia Hall, Tuttle and Madill’s perfection.</p>
<p>5. Berryhill (5)#8-2<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: Win over Sequoyah Claremore in Week 6. Its only losses came to then-5A No. 1 Glenpool and to 3A No. 1 Cascia Hall.</p>
<p>6. Clinton (6)#7-3<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: Two of the Red Tornadoes losses came to 4A No. 1 Weatherford and 3A No. 2 Tuttle (a one-point loss). The other was 32-24 to Anadarko without standout running back Delans Griffin. They did beat Elgin by 20 last week and blew out Chandler 28-0 in non-district play. Clinton now looks like a legitimate championship contender.<br />
Why they’re not ranked higher: Even without Griffin, Clinton did lose to a non-playoff team. Only argument to be made would be Clinton over Berryhill but Berryhill’s win over Sequoyah Claremore was just more impressive than Clinton’s over Elgin.</p>
<p>7. Sequoyah Claremore (7)#8-2<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: Only losses came to Berryhill and Cascia Hall. They beat Verdigris, Sperry and Oologah in non-district play and all relatively comfortably. There’s no mind-blowing wins in that list but they are all playoff teams in their classes.<br />
Why they’re not ranked higher: Clinton’s 7-3 resume was a bit better than Sequoyah’s 8-2. They losses were close but Clinton played a slightly toughest schedule.</p>
<p>8. Elgin (9)#8-2<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: They beat Plainview and Sulphur in non-district play and beat Blanchard 34-13 last night in a game that wound up being for a Top 10 spot. They also beat Anadarko by 19 midway through the season in what was at the time a high win in the district.<br />
Why they’re not ranked higher: Their losses were slightly worse than Sequoyah Claremore’s. Elgin lost by 19 to Tuttle and 20 to Clinton. Sequoyah was at least close in its losses, which were against comparable quality teams.</p>
<p>9. Purcell (10#8-2<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: An impressive six-game winning streak to end the season, including wins over Bethany and Pauls Valley. The Lindsay and Washington wins to start the season also look pretty good now.<br />
Why they’re not ranked higher: Back-to-back losses to Lexington and Madill early in the season where neither was particularly close. No shame in those losses, especially to Madill, but other than Clinton’s loss to Anadarko, no team ahead of Purcell had a loss to a now-unranked team in the class.</p>
<p>10. Blanchard (8)#7-3<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: Blanchard beat Bridge Creek and Lindsay in non-district games and Anadarko and Newcastle in district games. No knock-your-socks off wins but Blanchard did what it needed to do to stay in the top 10.<br />
Why they’re not ranked higher: The Lions lost to all three other district playoff teams, with none being closer than 20 points.</p>
<p><strong>Others</strong><br />
Checotah (8-2)<br />
Why they’re not ranked:Back-to-back losses to Metro Christian and Roland. Both were close, by a combined five points. One was even in overtime, but if Roland isn’t ranked, Checotah won’t be either.</p>
<p>Roland (6-4)<br />
Why they’re not ranked: A 1-4 tough start that included losses to Muldrow, Westville and Idabel. Roland played really well after the Idabel loss but it’s hard to overlook that start.</p>
<p>Bethany (7-3)<br />
Why they’re not ranked: Ended the season losing three of five, including last night’s 19-14 loss to Pauls Valley.</p>
<p><strong>Class 2A</strong><br />
1. Lincoln Christian (1)#9-1<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: 413-59. That’s Lincoln Christian’s combined score against state competition this season. Their only loss was to Arkansas power Shiloh Christian in the season’s second week.</p>
<p>2. Davis (2)#10-0<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: 10-0. Wins over Heritage Hall, Sulphur and Plainview. Their resume demands a top two ranking.<br />
Why they’re not ranked higher: Loncoln Christian’s resume is just a bit better, with absolutely dominant performances. There’s certainly an argument for Davis at No. 1, though. It’s far from clear cut.</p>
<p>3. Sequoyah-Tahlequah (3)#10-0<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: 10-0 is 10-0. Since a 20-10 win over 4A Fort Gibson to open the season, the Indians haven’t really been challenged.<br />
Why they’re not ranked higher: Competition. Lincoln Christian decimated its schedule, including some pretty solid playoff teams. Davis was perfect with several wins over fellow ranked teams. Sequoyah’s signature win is against Vian, with no non-district wins against playoff teams.</p>
<p>4. Millwood (6)#9-1*<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: Millwood’s only loss as it stands is a loss to Class 4A No. 2 McGuinness. The Falcons did lose to Jones on the field (more on that a bit later) but have been dominant since the return of Emilio Gatewood after injury problems kept him down. They’ve beaten Star Spencer and Douglass, two other top 4A teams.<br />
Why they’re not ranked higher: They did lose to McGuinness by 22 and needed a late comeback to beat Lexington. The Falcons are a title contender, and a case can even be made to be No. 3 at this point.</p>
<p>5. Vian (4)#9-1<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: 9-1 with the only loss coming to Sequoyah Tahlequah.<br />
Why they’re not ranked higher: Tradition power but with no signature wins this season. They were hurt by the fact Eufaula was down this year.</p>
<p>6. Kingfisher (5)#8-2<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: The Yellowjackets beat John Marshall and Newkirk in district play and Watonga in non-district play.<br />
Why they’re not ranked higher: Shutout loss to Heritage Hall and 21-point loss to Tuttle. No shame in either of those resulta but does keep them down against the five teams ahead of them.</p>
<p>7. Bridge Creek (7)#9-1<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: 9-1 is 9-1. And winning nine consecutive games to end the season, all scoring 30 or more points, is certainly a feat.<br />
Why they’re not ranked higher. Strength of schedule wound up costing the Bobcats when compared against the six teams ahead of them.</p>
<p>8. John Marshall (10)#8-2<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: The Bears upset Heritage Hall 12-7 last week and stuck with No. 6 Kingfisher before losing 21-14 three weeks ago.<br />
Why they’re not ranked higher: An overtime loss against Newkirk kept the Bears from being ranked higher (probably just one spot higher, though, since they lost to Kingfisher).</p>
<p>9. Plainview (8)#8-2<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: In between season-opening and season-ending losses, Plainview went 8-0 with wins over Atoka and Sulphur.<br />
Why they’re not ranked higher: They started the season with a loss to Elgin and ended with a loss to Davis.</p>
<p>10. Heritage Hall (NR)#6-4<br />
Why they’re not ranked lower: The Chargers have a win over Kingfisher (17-0). Their three non-district losses came to 4A No. 1 Weatherford, 2A No. 2 Davis and a Casady team that started off strong before suffering some setbacks late in the season.<br />
Why they’re not ranked higher: At 6-4, Heritage Hall has the most on-the-field losses of any ranked team (tied with several others, including Bixby and Laverne). The loss to John Marshall last week bumped them out although the Bears have looked more and more like a high-caliber team lately. They also were played close by Perry.</p>
<p><strong>Others:</strong><br />
Pawhuska (8-2)<br />
Why they’re not ranked: A 10-7 loss to Verdigris last week kept Pawhuska from the rankings.</p>
<p>Valliant (8-2)<br />
Why they’re not ranked: Valliant lost to Stigler and Hugo and didn’t beat — well, didn’t play — a ranked team all season.</p>
<p>Jones (2-8)*<br />
Why they’re not ranked: I know the question I’m going to hear: Why did Jones fall out of the rankings while Tulsa Washington’s status was unaffected? The player ruled ineligible for Jones made a huge difference for them. Would they have missed the playoffs without him? Probably not. But the Longhorns would certainly have not had the kind of season they wound up putting together. So, with that, Jones was dropped out while Millwood was elevated accordingly. That said, though, if — and that’s a big if — the decision to rule the player ineligible is overturned at Wednesday’s OSSAA board of directors, Jones will be reconsidered with the record they’ve earned on the field.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s the weekly preview for the rankings.</p>
<p>Class 6A<br />
1. Jenks (1)#9-0<br />
2. Tulsa Union (2)#8-1<br />
3. Broken Arrow (3)#7-2<br />
4. Southmoore (4)#8-1<br />
5. Midwest City (6)#7-2<br />
6. Bartlesville (7)#8-1<br />
7. Mustang (9)#7-2<br />
8. Del City (5)#7-2<br />
9. Lawton (10)#7-2<br />
10. Edmond Memorial (NR)#6-3</p>
<p>The main shift here came with Del City dropping three spots to No. 8. Midwest City and Bartlesville move up a spot each, while Mustang jumps up two spots. Edmond North drops out after losing for the second time in three games, and not looking particularly impressive in the one win during that stretch. Lawton moves up a spot to No. 9. Edmond Memorial makes its debut. I considered Owasso for that spot, and went back and forth but Memorial’s streak and the way the Bulldogs’ defense has played this season, even in losses, wins out over the Rams.</p>
<p><span id="more-4680"></span></p>
<p>Class 5A<br />
1. Tulsa Kelley (1)#9-0<br />
2. El Reno (2)#9-0<br />
3. Shawnee (3)#9-0<br />
4. Tulsa Washington (5)#5-4*<br />
5. Carl Albert (6)#7-2<br />
6. Tulsa East Central (7)#8-1<br />
7. McAlester (4)#8-1<br />
8. Bixby (8)#6-3<br />
9. Tulsa Central (9)#7-2<br />
10. Duncan (10)#8-1<br />
*Two games forfeited.</p>
<p>Some shuffling here with Tulsa East Central’s win over previously undefeated McAlester. I also thought long and hard about what to do about Tulsa Washington after they were forced to forfeit two games for using an ineligible player. From what’s been confirmed right now, with just one player being mentioned, I’m keeping them ranked where they would be anyway. That player wouldn’t have made the difference in games against Pryor and Tulsa Hale. But, if more ineligible players are found to have played — and it appears very possible that could happen — I will reconsider. So Tulsa Washington, Carl Albert and East Central each move up one spot. McAlester drops to No. 7. The rest of the top 10 stays the same.</p>
<p>Class 4A<br />
1. Glenpool (1)#9-0<br />
2. Weatherford (3)#9-0<br />
3. McGuinness (4)#7-2<br />
4. Douglass (5)#6-3<br />
5. Sallisaw (2)#8-1<br />
6. Star Spencer (6)#7-2<br />
7. Broken Bow (7)#6-3<br />
8. Wagoner (9)#6-3<br />
9. Poteau (NR)#7-2<br />
10. Oologah (NR)#6-3</p>
<p>Sallisaw slips to No. 5 after getting beat 35-16 to Wagoner. The Black Diamonds lost quarterback Matt Oberste hurt his collarbone on the game’s first play. The three highly ranked 4A-1 teams — Weatherford, McGuinness and Douglass — all moved up a spot. Wagoner moved up one spot to No. 8, while Poteau and Oologah moved into the rankings. Jay (loss to Catoosa) and Tecumseh (To Glenpool) dropped out.</p>
<p>Class 3A<br />
1. Cascia Hall (1)#8-0<br />
2. Tuttle (2)#9-0<br />
3. Madill (3)#9-0<br />
4. Metro Christian (4)#9-0<br />
5. Berryhill (5)#7-2<br />
6. Clinton (6)#6-3<br />
7. Sequoyah-Claremore (7)#7-2<br />
8. Blanchard (8)#7-2<br />
9. Elgin (9)#7-2<br />
10. Purcell (10)#7-2</p>
<p>No movement here at all. The only loss among the top 10 was by No. 7 Sequoyah-Claremore and the Eagles stayed within seven of No. 1 Cascia Hall so a dropping isn’t warranted.</p>
<p>Class 2A<br />
1. Lincoln Christian (1)#8-1<br />
2. Davis (2)#9-0<br />
3. Sequoyah-Tahlequah (3)#9-0<br />
4. Vian (4)#8-1<br />
5. Kingfisher (6)#7-2<br />
6. Millwood (7)#7-2<br />
7. Bridge Creek (8)#8-1<br />
8. Plainview (9)#8-1<br />
9. Jones (10)#7-2<br />
10. John Marshall (NR)#7-2</p>
<p>Not much movement here with one big exception. Heritage Hall drops from No. 5 to out after losing to John Marshall while the Bears move into the rankings for the first time. It came down to those two for the last spot. Heritage Hall would’ve been the only four-loss team ranked in any class and John Marshall has been in every game its played this year and allowed more than 19 points just once (21 by Kingfisher). I’ll re-evaluate next week but this week at least John Marshall is more worthy of ranking than Heritage Hall.</p>
<p>Class A<br />
1. Tonkawa (1)#9-0<br />
2. Ringling (2)#8-0<br />
3. Hennessey (3)#9-0<br />
4. Stroud (4)#9-0<br />
5. Talihina (5)#9-0<br />
6. Cashion (6)#9-0<br />
7. Oklahoma Bible (7)#8-1<br />
8. Central Sallisaw (9)#8-1<br />
9. Watonga (10)#7-2<br />
10. OCS (NR)#6-2</p>
<p>The only top 10 team to lose this week was Salina, which was beaten by Foyil 28-20 for its first loss of the year. Even though it was only one, Salina falls out. It just didn’t have a marquee win. So OCS is back in, after beating Crescent 55-14 to improve to 6-2. The Saints have a big win, beating Sulphur in the season opener by 17, and their losses — by one to Watonga and two to Cashion — have been mitigated by the seasons those teams have turned in. Pawnee and Okeene are the first teams out here.</p>
<p>Class B<br />
1. Garber (1)#9-0<br />
2. Canton (2)#8-1<br />
3. Porter (3)#9-0<br />
4. Ryan (4)#9-0<br />
5. Davenport (5)#8-1<br />
6. Depew (6)#7-2<br />
7. Kiefer (7)#8-1<br />
8. Caddo (8)#7-2<br />
9. Weleetka (9)#6-3<br />
10. Alex (10)#6-3</p>
<p>I wanted to make changes here, I really did. But I just couldn’t justify it in my mind. I still think Canton is the second-best team in Class B and believe the playoffs will bear that out, so Canton stays in the second spot. I like Porter and Ryan but they’re not quite at that level yet. Nos. 3-8 stay the same as all win. Then we come to the final two spots. Both Weleetka and Alex lost. So I went through and picked Fox and Laverne as the two likely replacements. That’s where the problems came in. Fox’s losses came to Ryan and Alex. Ryan hasn’t lost while Alex’s only losses came to Ryan, No. 8 Caddo and Class C No. 3 Temple. So hard to jump Fox over them when Alex hasn’t slipped up against a team they should’ve beaten. Weleetka’s losses have come to Depew, Davenport and Kiefer, so they also haven’t lost to anyone they flat out should’ve beaten. Laverne, on the other hand, slipped up a couple weeks ago against Geary. So the status quo remains in the final two spots.<br />
Fox<br />
Laverne</p>
<p>Class C<br />
1. Shattuck (1)#9-0<br />
2. Timberlake (2)#9-0<br />
3. Temple (3)#8-1<br />
4. Seiling (4)#8-1<br />
5. Maud (5)#9-0<br />
6. Deer Creek-Lamont (6)#8-1<br />
7. Boise City (7)#7-2<br />
8. Tipton (10)#7-2<br />
9. Waynoka (NR)#6-2<br />
10. Covington-Douglas (NR)#5-4</p>
<p>I said a few weeks ago that I thought Covingon-Douglas still might be a top 10 team and they’ve played like it the last two weeks. Still will interesting to see how it all plays out but they’re in the last spot for now. The top seven all stay the same. Waynoka also makes an appearance in the poll after beating Wesleyan Christian. Sasakwa and Thackerville dropped out.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>What do you do to get away from football?</strong></p>
<p>Go hang out with girlfrind and friends. I go fishing or hunting, and go hang out with my family also.</p>
<p><strong>What was your welcome to the varsity moment?</strong></p>
<p>The first time i had to do Grassers and Gasers during two-a-days my freshman year while it was 105 degrees the whole week.</p>
<p><strong>Other than yourself who is the best athlete in your family?</strong></p>
<p>My cousin Shawn Harris, he plays basketball and track. He&#8217;s pretty fast and can shoot the ball.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s on your bucket list?</strong></p>
<p>Ride a bull for 8 seconds, sky diving, travel the world, bungie jumping, step one foot on the moon.</p>
