I’m going to visit with Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association executive director Ed Sheakley early this week. Do you have a question for him? Leave it as a comment here or e-mail me at raber@opubco.com. I’ll pick a few to ask him and we’ll have his answers this week in The Oklahoman.

Shawnee and Guthrie both have great offenses, which means their game Friday could easily turn into a shootout.

Guthrie quarterback Keaton Callins has thrown for over 1,300 yards and 19 touchdowns this year. His primary target, Donte Foster, has 575 yards receiving and eight scores.

“The key is, we’ve got to put up a lot of points because obviously they’re going to have success,” Shawnee wide receiver and defensive back Brett Davis said. “They’re too good of a team to be held out of the end zone all night.”

Guthrie could well say the same thing about Shawnee. Sophomore quarterback Brayle Brown has had a great season so far, as has Davis.

Guthrie wide receiver Donte Foster had kind words for Shawnee star Brett Davis on Tuesday.

Both teams’ defenses will have to find a way to slow down the opposing offense. Both offense are very high-powered and star-studded.

“We’ve got to contain Brett Davis and Brayle Brown when we’re on defense,” Foster said. “We know that Davis can take over a game at any time. In my opinion, he’s the number one player in the state right now.”

That’s a pretty big compliment for Davis from Foster, who has put up unbelievable numbers this year. Through seven games, Foster has 575 yards and eight touchdowns receiving to go with an average of over 16 yards per catch.
