Washington (7-4) at Millwood (10-1)*
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday
Where: Leodies Robinson Field, Oklahoma City

Winner plays: Chandler-Verdigris winner next Friday. If Millwood wins, the Falcons would go on the road. If Washington wins, the Warriors would host.

Washington (L, Bethany; L, Purcell; W, Jones; L, Lindsay; L, Bridge Creek; W, Frederick; W, Crooked Oak; W, Comanche; W, Riverside; W, Hobart; W, Plainview)
Why the Warriors can win: Because they’re hot. Washington has won six in a row after a rough start and really settled in, pulling off a close win over Frederick on Oct. 9 to get the streak started. Washington is also riding an emotional high after last week’s road win over Plainview.

Millwood (W, Star Spencer; W, Douglass; L, McGuinness; W, Little Axe; W, Jones*; W, Lexington; W, SeeWorth Academy; W, Bethel; W, Centennial; W, Meeker; W, Newkirk)
Why the Falcons can win: Pick a reason. Millwood will be playing with all of its stars for the first time since the season’s second week. The Falcons will also be playing for legendary coach Leodies Robinson, who died of an apparent heart attack earlier this week.
*Jones forfeited a win over Millwood.
