. The senior signal caller put up big numbers in their win over the Chieftains and did a lot of his damage on the ground. He finished with 265 yards and four touchdowns rushing in the win on Friday. He also added just over 100 yards passing with a touchdown as well. Ward and the Tigers now shift their focus to this week when they’ll face undefeated Collinsville with the winner potentially winning the district.

couldn’t be stopped. He threw for nearly 200 yards and a pair of touchdowns and also added nearly 75 yards and a pair of touchdowns on the ground. Whenever the play would break down, or if PC North got pressure, Irvin could keep the play alive. The Bombers have a lot of momentum going into their big district clash with Stillwater this week.

has been one of the more dynamic players in the state for several seasons now. In one of their biggest games of the season, Plumley once again showed how dynamic he could be. In a win over Ardmore, to take control of the district race, Plumley put up video game numbers once again. He threw for 175 yards and also added 125 yards on the ground. He accounted for five total touchdowns and also came up with an interception on defense. In a season that started slow due to Plumley getting banged up, the Indians are looking great heading into November.

– Quarterback – Will Rogers
This was a no brainer for one of the candidates this week as Will Rogers hasn’t had too much success on the football field lately. In fact, they had lost their last 44 games. All of that changed last week as they knocked off Durant and were led by their junior quarterback

. The junior signal caller threw for just over 250 yards and four touchdowns on 17-23 passing. He also added 65 yards and a pair of touchdowns on the ground as they were able to get their first win in the last four seasons. He led the game-winning drive where they went 95 yards in less than two minutes for the win.
Max Brown – Quarterback – Lincoln Christian
While Will Rogers has struggled, Lincoln Christian has had no such problems. The defending champs have won their last 21 games and they are rolling once again towards a possible 3A title this year. One of the breakout stars for this Bulldog team has been junior quarterback Max Brown. He had a big game in their blowout win over Checotah on the road. He was perfect throwing the ball. He was 10-10 and accounted for nearly 300 yards of total offense and five touchdowns. Brown is certainly a dynamic athlete but as his passing continues to improve, Lincoln will be even deadlier.
