Lawton Eisenhower (3-6, 2-4 6A-2) at Norman (4-5,3-3 6A-2)

When: 7:30 p.m. tonight

Where: Harve Collins Field

 

Lawton Eisenhower

Why the Eagles can win: The Eagles are sky-high after a game-winning field goal with six seconds left last week kept their postseason hopes alive. QB Adrian McDonald is dangerous on the ground. If he cam hit a few timely passes, Ike could take this one.

Norman

Why the Tigers could win: It’s do-or-die. Win and the Tigers are in the playoffs for the first time since 2006. Lose and it’s all over. But beyond the ramifications of the outcome, Norman has more tools to put up points than Ike. If running back Donovan Roberts  —  the Tigers most productive offensive player  —  can’t come back from last week’s hip injury, it will hinder the Tigers greatly. But electric kick returner Jaime Myers has the skill to fill in nicely.

Key matchup: For Lawton Eisenhower, it’s this: Putnam City vs.Edmond Memorial.
