Edmond North (6-5) at Tulsa Union (10-1)
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday
Where: Union-Tuttle Stadium, Tulsa

North
Why the Huskies can win: It won’t be easy, that’s for sure. It also hurts that the Huskies lost two vital cogs to their defensive line last week, too. The offense is dynamic, though. Jarion Tudman is a great back, and we all know about the multiple targets Travis Townsend has at his disposal.

Union
Why the Redskins can win: Because if it’s not against Jenks, how in the world can you beat against Union? Since the thriller against Bartlesville, Union has returned to dominance.

Key matchup: The line play. It’s that simple. If Union gets pressure and forces the North offense backwards, it’s going to be a long night. And if the North defense cannot find a way to stop the Redskins attack, well, it will be a long night.

The pick: Union 40, North 19. Would love to see the Huskies at full strength in this one, but that is simply not possible. But it’s baby steps for the program.
