“They were pretty excited,” Peery said. “They were about to start celebrating before we even had the win. They were trying to celebrate when we scored the go ahead touchdown (in the third quarter).”
Junior running back Colton Ebers rushed for three touchdowns and senior defensive back Kole Miller intercepted three passes for the Tigers.
Peery had previously told the team that when the Tigers finally won a game, he didn't want them celebrating like they had won the Super Bowl. But it was difficult not to celebrate such a monumental victory.
“The crowd was pretty ecstatic,” Peery said. “I tried to keep our kids as calm as possible. I wanted them to act like they have been there before.”
Breaking the losing streak, however, is a relief, Peery admitted. It also was his first win as a head coach.
“I still think there is a lot of work to be done, but that is the first step,” he said.
PUTNAM CITY KEEPS PLAYOFF HOPES ALIVE
With an 18-13 win over Bixby, Putnam City kept itself in the playoff race in District 6A-2.
The run game of quarterback Devin White and running back Javone Knox powered the tight victory, the Pirates' third in the last four weeks.
At 3-2 in the district, the Pirates are tied with Westmoore and Sapulpa, teams they split with earlier this season.
With Muskogee and Jenks left on the schedule — both at Putnam City Stadium — Pirate coach John Wofford knows his team simply needs to stay focused on controlling its own play.
