District play opens for most teams in week 4 of the football season, and many strong matchups highlight the schedule for Oklahoma City-metro area squads.
Putnam City North at Tulsa Union
The Panthers are one of only three 6A-I schools to get through non-district play without a defeat. But the competition level steps way forward against a No. 1-ranked Redskins’ squad whose only defeat was in double OT at Cowboys Stadium to Southlake Carroll in Week 1.
Edmond Santa Fe vs Edmond Memorial
The final prong of Edlam features the Wolves, who lost to Edmond North, and the Bulldogs, who beat the Huskies. But they had opposite fortunes a week ago, with Santa Fe holding off Southmoore 34-28 while Memorial surrendered more than 700 yards in a 57-37 loss to Mustang.
Owasso at Norman North
The Timberwolves seek to bounce back from losing last week’s 48-41 thriller against Westmoore. Owasso has been as good as anyone in the state so far, knocking off Broken Arrow, shutting out Muskogee and picking up its first win in 21 years against Jenks last Friday, 7-6.
OCS at Millwood
It’s a showdown between two of Class 2A’s top challengers. Both hosted Tulsa schools a week ago, with OCS pounding Lincoln Christian 38-8 but the Falcons falling 21-6 to Cascia Hall. Millwood lost in last year’s 2A title game while OCS reached the quarterfinals.
Several other good contests will feature Guthrie at McGuinness, Mustang at Edmond North, Carl Albert at Western Heights, Enid at Choctaw
