Five-minute guide to high school football: Deer Creek has something to prove against Carl Albert

The Rams pulled off the stunner last year in this game in a shootout, but Union won't have a letdown in this one as it starts district play in a big way.

Class 6A No. 9 Mustang (3-0) at Norman (2-1)

Plot: Mustang came into the season with plenty to prove after last year's 3-7 season. Norman's circumstances were different, but the Tigers also wanted to show that they'd be just fine in the post-Donovan Roberts era. The Broncos have matched their 2011 win total already after blowing out Stillwater last week. After a heartbreaking loss to Norman North to start the year Norman has bounced back with a pair of wins heading into district play.

Starring: In his first year as the full-time starter at quarterback, Frankie Edwards has been nothing short of excellent for Mustang. He's run for 281 yards and four touchdowns and thrown for 602 yards and five touchdowns without an interception. Norman has senior quarterback Zach Long, the son of former OU offensive coordinator Chuck Long, leading the way with Zac Uhles, a Tulsa commit, blocking for him up front.

The pick: Mustang 28, Norman 20

Mustang's offense has been one of the most potent in Class 6A since Ty Prestidge took over there. Even last season, the offense put up plenty of points, but defensive struggles hurt. Early on, Mustang's defense has been solid and that makes a difference as the Broncos improve to 4-0.
