Top five games involving 6A-4 teams
Aug. 31, Muskogee at Broken Arrow: Ron Lancaster returns to coaching against his former team, Muskogee, and his protégé, Matt Hennesy.
Aug. 31, Tulsa Washington at Carl Albert: Next year, the perennial powers will go back to being 5A rivals.
Sept. 7, Tulsa Union at Jenks: The most likely game to be a preview of the state title game.
Sept. 7, Muskogee at Norman North: This matchup looked more appealing before Tyler Tettleton went down with an injury, but still a matchup of the West’s best against one of the East’s.
Oct. 5, Jenks at Muskogee: The second most likely game to be a preview of the state title game, and it will, in all likelihood, determine the district champion.
