The Morrison Wildcats are taking a road trip to face off against the Pawhuska Huskies at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both are strolling into their matches after big wins in their previous games.
Morrison's defense heads into the contest hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Friday. They breezed by Quapaw to the tune of 33-0. Morrison didn't have much to brag about two games back, but this win makes it their second in a row.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Pawhuska). They blew past Caney Valley, posting an 84-12 victory. Given the Huskies' advantage in MaxPreps' Oklahoma football rankings (they are ranked 110th, while the Trojans are ranked 258th), the result last Friday wasn't entirely unexpected.
Canyon Hindman was his usual excellent self, throwing for 184 yards and six touchdowns while completing 83.3% of his passes. He has been hot recently, having posted three or more passing touchdowns the last three times he's played. Lane Kyler did his part for the team as well, scoring a TD off of 95 receiving yards.
Another reason for the win was Pawhuska's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. Dane Jensen was especially locked on to Caney Valley's QB and sacked him twice.
Pawhuska pushed their record up to 7-2 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 58.4 points per game. As for Morrison, their victory ended a three-game drought at home and bumped them up to 3-6.
Morrison came up short against Pawhuska in their previous meeting back in September of 2019, falling 20-12. Thankfully for Morrison, Bryce Drummond (who threw for 228 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 51 yards and a touchdown) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
