Games To Watch - Week 7 (10/13)




Oologah Mustangs (6-0) at Wagoner Bulldogs (6-0)

Once again these teams meet up at the top two teams in Class 4A. The Bulldogs are coming off of a historic, record setting game. The Bulldogs defeated the McLain Titans for their 43rd consecutive win, and now have the longest winning streak in Oklahoma 11-man football history. But the Mustangs want to end that streak this week. The Bulldogs have won five of the last six meetings, three of those were in 4A State Championship games. Wagoner won those five match ups by an average score of 32-17. Coming into this game, the Bulldogs are averaging 41 points per game, while the Mustangs are only giving up 13 points per game. The winner will have the lead in District 4A-3.



Bishop Kelley Comets (5-1) at Skiatook Bulldogs (5-1)

Both of these teams come in to this contest each having a quality loss. The Comets fell to 5A top ranked Bishop McGuinness, while the Bulldogs fell to the second-ranked in 4A Oologah Mustangs. Bishop Kelley has won seven of the last 10 meetings of these two teams. The Bulldogs are average 37 points per game while the Comets are averaging 32. 



Afton Eagles (5-0) at Rejoice Christian Eagles (6-0)

This matchup of Eagles looks to be a pretty even matchup. Afton comes in averaging a 54 points per game, while Rejoice Christian averages 46 points per game. Afton leads the series 2-1. Winner takes the lead in District A-7.



Depew Hornets (6-0) at Prue Rockets (7-0)

This showdown of District B-7 foes has the district lead on the line. One key matchup in this game will be when the Rockets offense, averaging 60 points per game, faces the Hornet defense, who gives up a stingy nine points per game. Depew won last years contest 56-6.
