Bixby’s Williams sets career passing touchdown mark

Bixby senior quarterback Mason Williams continues to set records. On Friday, he broke the Spartans all-time passing touchdown mark. Williams completed 20-of-23 passes for 385 yards and seven touchdowns, as Class 6A-II top-ranked Bixby blitzed Bartlesville 74-7. Williams now has 97 career touchdown passes. Tanner Griffin held the former record at 92. Bixby also extended its win streak to 28 games, the longest for an 11-man team in the state.

Carl Albert shuts out Guymon

Senior quarterback Ben Harris threw five touchdowns, including three to Xzavier Thomas, in the Class 5A No. 1 Titans’ 63-0 win at Guymon. Houston Russell and Cobe Crews also had touchdown receptions. Lamereon Curry also had a 50-yard punt return touchdown.

McGuinness’ Tarman has seven touchdowns in shootout win

Luke Tarman is continuing his tear to begin the season. McGuinness’ senior quarterback accounted for seven touchdowns as the No. 4 Fighting Irish topped Lawton Eisenhower 56-34. Tarman had 23 carries for 313 yards and six touchdowns while completing 13-of-23 passes for 183 yards and a score. 

Wagoner’s strong defense stifles Cleveland

The Class 4A top-ranked Wagoner defense is one of the state’s best. The Bulldogs recorded their third shutout in four games after a 45-0 win at Cleveland on Friday. Wagoner (4-0, 1-0 District 4A-3) held Cleveland to -7 rushing yards. Running back Braden Drake rushed for three scores.

Jones’ May continues tear

Jones junior quarterback Carson May continues to make his case that he’s the state’s best signal caller. He completed 16-of-22 passes for 232 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for another score in the Class 2A No. 2 Longhorns’ 46-6 win against Star Spencer. Jones (3-1, 1-0 District 2A-2) held the Bobcats to 141 total yards.

Another big performance for Pawhuska’s Drummond

Bryce Drummond is dominating. The senior quarterback at Pawhuska has played brilliantly to begin the season, and that continued in a 48-14 win against Commerce to open district play. He completed 19-of-25 passes for 384 yards and seven touchdowns. Dalton Hurd caught four scores while Mason Gilkey had two touchdowns.
