The Edmond trip continued Tuesday with stops at Deer Creek and Edmond North. The energy at Deer Creek is palpable right now.

That school, community is growing by leaps and bounds and the team was forced to practice on the soccer field because of all the construction being done to the stadium.

And for the final day of spring practice, coach Grant Gower was extremely pleased with what he saw, especially when it comes to the effort and attitude.

Don’t get me wrong as I didn’t think last year’s team was down on themselves, but it’s a different energy right now for this club.

And Gower has something most coaches will take at this time of year: QB controversy. However, the controversy couldn’t be between two more different signal-callers.

In this corner, you have sophomore Joel Blumenthal. He saw his first varsity action in Week 10 against Lawton MacArthur. He’s put on a lot of weight since last year, but he’s still less than 165 pounds.
