Player to watch

Bixby: Brennan Presley, Sr., WR/DB: Presley has been one of the top players in the state this season. Offensively, the Oklahoma State commit has been difficult to contain while his defense has also grown.

Stillwater: Gunnar Gundy, Sr., QB: Gundy’s efficiency is off the charts, as he is having one of the best statistical seasons for any quarterback in Oklahoma state history. He could be primed for another big performance.

Storylines

Bixby: Can the Spartans continue their dominance? Bixby has won four of the five Class 6A-II titles since the 6A split in 2014. Another championship would mark one of the best runs for any team in state history.

Stillwater: Can the offensive efficiency continue? Stillwater has been amazing at not turning the ball over while also gaining positive yards on each play. Doing both of those things will be a recipe for success.
