FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

The penulitmate week on the regular season high school football schedule is upon us on a rain soaked Friday night all across Western Oklahoma. 4A’s District 1 has a couple of key matchups that’ll shape the playoff bracket in a couple of weeks. The Elk City Elks welcome the Clinton Red Tornadoes to Big Elk Stadium for Senior night. It’s a must win situation for the Brown and White to stay in the chase for the final playoff spot. The Red Tornadoes can sew up a second place district finish that’ll also bring a home playoff game in a couple of weeks with a win. Come on out to Big Elk Stadium tonight if you can, but if not we’ve got ya covered with live video streaming on bigelktv and the radio coverage available on kool94. Pregame will start at 6:20 ahead of the 7:00 kick. Elsewhere around the district, Woodward will try to strengthen their playoff chances with a win in Weatherford. Bethany plays host to Douglass.

The Merritt Oilers will hit the road tonight for Class A-1 District 1 action in Watonga. The Oilers will be playing the role of spoiler these last couple weeks and it’ll start tonight against the Eagles. If you can’t make the trip to Watonga tonight we’ve got you covered there as well with the live video stream on paragontv.com. Join DJ Walter and Riley White for the kickoff at 7. In other A-1 District 1 action, Sayre will host Hooker in what could be an elimination game for a playoff spot. Crescent heads to Tonkawa in a game with district title implications, and district leading Fairview’s on the road at Hinton

Outside of those two districts around western Oklahoma we get Boise City at Texoma, Thomas hosts Carnegie, Corn Bible heads to Waynoka, Hobart’s on the road at Mooreland, Hollis travels to Central High, Mangum’s at home against Minco, MVG’s at Canton, Shattuck plays host to Turpin

COLLEGE FOOTBALL WEEKEND

It’s a light schedule this weekend on the college football weekend as far as top 25 matchups go. There are only two across the country with #22 Arizona in Lubbock to take on #13 Texas Tech. The other is in the SEC with #17 Florida and #3 Georgia meeting this year at the World’s Largest Indoor Cocktail Party in Atlanta. The two in state schools are playing important conference tilts. Oklahoma will play host to South Carolina on Owen Field. These teams have split the two previous meetings with each winning on the other’s home field. You can hear the action live on kool94. Pregame starts at noon ahead of the 3:15 kickoff. #24 Oklahoma St hits the road north to Ames to take on the Iowa St Cyclones. The Pokes need a win to continue to stay in the chase for a Big 12 title game spot. Ames hasn’t been too kind to Ok St in recent history. The Cyclones have won the last two at Jack Trice. Oklahoma State and Iowa St kick at 6
