We're coming down the home stretch of the high school football season and there is plenty left to be decided on the field before the playoffs begin. A couple of titanic matchups dot the landscape while there are plenty of games between teams battling for the last spot or two in their respective districts.
Just like we do each and every week, we need your help to gather the scores from all the games across the stat. There are plenty of ways to do that, so help us out and send us the score from whichever game you're at each week.
Here are previews of some of the week's biggest games.
No. 6 Cushing at No. 3 Seminole
As we come down the stretch of the high school football, class 3A remains a complete mystery, with eight of the top 10 teams in the state undefeated. One of those will go down this week when No. 6 Cushing travels to take on No. 3 Seminole in a huge district 3A-2 matchup.
Both teams have explosive offenses, led by two of the best running backs in the state. For Seminole, running back Papi White is the key cog in an offense averaging 50.1 points per game this season. White has rushed for 1,573 yards and 18 touchdowns, averaging an astonishing 15.7 yards per carry.
However, the Chieftains aren't all about the ground game. Quarterback Doc Harvey has completed 77.1 percent of his passes this year, second in the entire state among quarterbacks with at least 20 attempts. He's thrown for 1,231 yards with 13 touchdowns to just two interceptions. Harvey also gets it done on the ground, rushing for 536 yards and 10 touchdowns to complement White.
Xavier Freeman is Seminole's go-to receiver. He's hauled in a modest 29 passes this year, but that's more than 50 percent of Harvey's completions and he's turned those into 845 yards and 11 touchdowns.
On defense, Seminole has been particularly stingy, allowing just 13 points again and pitching three shutouts.
Cushing's high-powered offense, averaging 44 points a game, is led by running back Gage Stallworth, who's run for 1,527 yards and 33 touchdowns. He's averaging 218 yards on the ground per game and is the biggest reason the Tigers find themselves 8-0 right now.
Quarterback Ian Jones offers a bit of relief for Stallworth, throwing for 711 yards and four touchdowns this season. He's also rushed for 354 yards and four scores. While the Tigers don't have a lot of big production around Stallworth, they do have a lot of contributors that adds up to a decent supporting cast.
The Cushing defense has also been great this year, pitching three shutouts of their own and holding opponents to 11.3 points per game.
Seminole has shown they should be considered a third horse in the 3A title race with Kingfisher and Blanchard. However, the Tigers will be looking to put their name in with that group this week by claiming the district 3A-2 crown with a win. It should be a terrific atmosphere in Seminole as two of the best teams in the class go at it.
Here's a list of the game we'll be covering this week.
