Clinton quarterback Ryan Stringer and Tuttle quarterback Sterling Koons will battle for a win on Thursday.
Quarterbacks Ryan Springer of Clinton and Tuttle's Sterling Koons are friends. But at least for one night, that won't be the case. The two will lead their teams on Friday night in the biggest game of the weekend in high school football. Tuttle is top ranked in Class 3A while Clinton is No. 3. The winner will most likely win the District 3A-1 title. Here is more info about the game, as well as four other quality games to see in our Top 5 games to watch for Week 6:
1. Clinton (4-1) at Tuttle (5-0) on Thursday
Clinton has won three straight in this series and Tuttle was shutout in both games last year, including once in the state semifinals. Clinton outscored Tuttle 57-0 last season. But Tuttle comes into the game as the favorite this year after pretty much dominating every opponent so far this season. The Tigers are averaging nearly 41 points a game and have allowed a total of just 16 points in five games. Clinton has been inconsisent on offense this year and lost to Class 2A's Chandler three weeks ago.
2. Mustang (5-0) at Norman North (5-0)
Two undefeated teams but Mustang is the surprise so far this season. The Broncos have been using their high-scoring offensive attack to run over opponents. But facing possibly the best team in the state will be a stiffer challenge. Norman North has a balanced and explosive offense that has yet to be slowed down this season. Norman North has a stronger defense than Mustang, which will probably end up being the difference. Expect a lot of passes being thrown in this game.
3. Bethany (4-1) at Madill (4-1)
Bethany has been playing really well of late, winning four games in a row and averaging over 30 points a game during that time period. The Bronchos defense has made key stops late in games to help get victories. That defense could be the key to victory over Madill, which averaged 40 points a game. But Madill's defense has been struggling and it won't get any easier against a solid Bethany offensive attack. Expect a lot of points to be scored in this one.
4. Millwood (3-2) at Lexington (4-1)
Millwood has been the traditional power, but Lexington is the team that made the playoffs a year ago. So although it looks like this game might be a mismatch because of Millwood's history, don't expect Lexington to go without a fight. Millwood has had a tough early season schedule, which should help the young Falcons in the district. Both teams average 30 points a game on offense and have been inconsistent on defense so expect some points to be scored here. The winner grabs first place in the District 2A-2.
5. Cashion (5-0) at Christian Heritage (3-2)
Christian Heritage has won three games in a row after starting the season with two straight losses. All three of those wins have come in District A-2 play. Christian Heritage is 3-0 in the district while Cashion is 3-0. Cashion is the team that is playing well, having scored 32 or more points in four of the five games this season. Cashion has played just one close game. Christian Heritage on the other and has had trouble scoring on a consistent basis. That could be trouble in this game because Cashion can score a lot of points in a hurry.
