Excited to kickoff Week 1 and am extremely blessed to have had the privilege to watch these boys grow into young men from Mighty-mite to now. Bitter sweet....
Bartlesville @
Sapulpa-
Going to be a good battle, going with Sapulpa here
Muskogee @
Bixby Blue-
Man oh man, has it been a pleasure to watch Bixby Blue grow. That WR/RB/QB/MLB, all around stud, that they have will be playing for Coach Montgomery here pretty soon and then coach Riley or Saban
In fact, they've got studs all over who will be hearing their name in spartan stadium before too long. Muskogee looked good during scrimmages and I appreciate the passion their DC shows, they have athletes all over as well and with Coach Hill running the show at the highest level, I would keep an eye on them in 6A-2 when these boys get up there. Good Battle but I got BIG BLUE
Jenks Black @
Bixby Red Haven't gotten the privilege to watch Jenks Black compete on the gridiron but I've only heard good things, wouldn't be surprised if they start making some noise later in the season, BIG RED is a TOUGH first battle for anyone and I think this will be a good indicator as to how Jenks' stacks up against everyone else in this grade. Bixby has always been about their business and they have one of the best executed offenses' in this grade. They've got some big time players but one young man I've loved watching play is #7, boys had nothing but heart on that field and he's earned my respect. All in all, Ive got BIG RED in this 'spartan v trojan' battle.
Jenks White @
BA Black These two teams are no stranger to each other and I'm hearing one got way better and the other lost their spunk, swag, and hunger that we've seen from them. Jenks' RB is a top notch 6A RB, who will fight all game, and his teammates come with the same hunger he has. The word on the street is that they have 2 22's, no way??? With Black losing multiple starters its going to really come down to coaching, putting players in the right positions and opening that O up a little bit. They've got Octavian's twin #15 and #2 who is able to hit the hole all game with minimal flash. Mixed with the rest of their studs, don't sleep on them. Ive got Black ground and pounding this one out.
BA Chrome @ Bixby White
White has a great opportunity to lineup against a well rounded team and get these pads popping for the first time, excited for Bixby to carry that new team swag and get better and better every week, gonna have to go with experience here though, I've got Chrome.
SS Black @
BA PlatinumSS always seems to get it figured out in the 7th grade and end up being a real hard nosed team, wether that's Gold or Black, only time will tell. I'm excited with what BA has done here, rather than having one big dog, why not try to have 4 big ones. Don't know how it happened or if it will work but lets hope for the best, with this team picking up cowboy and other key role players, nothing but progress ahead. (Even though we probably won't get to see Cowboys debut) I'm going Platinum here.
BA Silver @
Jenks Maroon Wish INFC televised one regular season game per week, The Trojan powerhouse vs the restructured Silver Tigers, with the addition Octavian and his brother and big ol #50 with his teammtes, I could see them shocking us later this year, but more than likely not this week. Maroon is a 2010 TYAA team the way their backs hit the hole, with speed and power, and on defense they have a couple man-child's, specifically big swole #8, I'm sure he practices with the varsity and comes back down on Saturday's. With that being said I'm going with the jet and teammate big swole.
Owasso Silver @
Union SilverDon't know much about Owasso Silver but I hear they have some talent, in regards to union, from what I've heard Union Silver is the better of the 2 and Union's best is as good as anyone's best. Gotta go with THE U here.
SS Gold @
Owasso White Like I mentioned previously one of these SS teams is gonna give everyone a run for their money, but we all know the work O White has been putting in since the start. The definition of the grind. Y'all have my utmost respect. Those boys play with that same RAM pride that won the HS some chips. Big O White here.
Union Black @ BYE WEEK- Another week to get better men!
Goodluck to all teams, future post won't be as long as had to start the year off right.
God Bless!
