Picks: Week 4
For the second consecutive week, Scott picked up a game on Jason and me last week. Jason missed out on his lock of the week on Millwood’s wild last-second win over McGuinness.
Last week:
Scott: 9-1, 1-0
Ryan: 8-2, 1-0
Jason: 8-2, 0-1
Overall:
Ryan: 22-8, 3-0
Scott: 22-8, 2-1
Jason: 21-9, 1-2
Ryan
Guthrie 28, Deer Creek 14
Clinton 21, McGuinness 17
Norman 35, Sapulpa 30
Wagoner 27, Vinita 14
Ryan 22, Thackerville 18
Purcell 28, Sulphur 26
Seq. Tahlequah 20, Verdigris 13
Westmoore 21, Edmond Santa Fe 17
Seminole 14, Valliant 7
Midwest City 28, Yukon 9
Guthrie 34, Deer Creek 28
Lock of the week: Norman over Sapulpa. Sapulpa will score points on Norman but the Tigers defense has the potential for some big stops in this one that will prove to be the difference.

Clinton 21, McGuinness 17
Norman 38, Sapulpa 28
Wagoner 28, Vinita 21
Thackerville 42, Ryan 35
Purcell 33, Sulphur 28
Seq. Tahlequah 49, Verdigris 31
Edmond Santa Fe 21, Westmoore 14
Seminole 35, Valliant 24
Midwest City 27, Yukon 24
Lock of the week: Guthrie over Deer Creek. Deer Creek has a lot of talent, and is close to breaking through as a great team. But Guthrie is already there. This will be a close one, but I’ll take the Bluejays’ big-game experience to win out.

Lock of the week: Edmond Santa Fe over Westmoore.
I watched Edmond Santa Fe play Midwest City, and while they clearly weren’t better than the Bombers, they showed that they can play with almost anyone. I think the 2-1 Wolves get back on track by winning their district opener at home.
Game preview: Sapulpa at PC West
Sapulpa (2-6, 0-5) at Putnam City West (1-7, 1-4)
When: 7 p.m. Thursday
Where: Putnam City Stadium
Why Sapulpa could win: Sapulpa can put some points on the board and they’ve been strong in close games (2-1 in games decided by a TD or less). Defensively, they’ve only held one team — Sand Springs — to less than 27 points, so they’ll need to keep the offense moving.
Why PC West could win: His name is Johnny Smith. The Pats running back was the biggest reason for their win over Shawnee earlier this month. Stopping the run is critical, because the Pats’ strength is in the secondary. If Sapulpa has to throw the ball to win, it’s to PC West’s advantage.
Key matchup: Smith vs. Sapulpa defensive front. When Smith gets to the second and third levels, he punishes people. If the Sapulpa D-line lets him get back there, he’ll cause problems, open up the passing game for Ray Young, and help the Pats control the ball.
The pick: PC West 31, Sapulpa 27. Before the season, I pointed to this game as the best chance for the Pats to end their losing streak. They got there early, and I think they can pick up another here.
