Pawnee wins it in a shootout at home 34-32.

[Champ]

okeene wins because pawnee does not have the secondary to stop okeene passing game

[peck9898]

okeene wins because pawnee does not have the secondary to stop okeene passing game

I think Rice, Green, and Ellis might have a few things to say about that. If you don't believe them, ask Talahina how well their passing game worked against these boys. It will no doubt be a huge game and a tough one, but I will be pulling for the Black Bears till the buzzer!!!!! GO BEARS!!!!!!

[PawneeSports]

Coach David Ellis and sons (QB & WR).
versus
Coach Jeff Wardlaw and son (QB).

[Whippet mom]

Correction, Pawneesports, it is Coach Wardlaw and sons too. Brady's younger brother Brock is a starting receiver and linebacker. He is just a sophomore but one tough player.

You amaze me PawneeSports. Where do you come up with all of your stuff. That is a preseason picture of the senior football players and the lone senior cheerleader. My son is one of the seniors.

[Clean Green]

those Sr.s leave some big shoes to fill next year.

[Whippet mom]

Ryan Boeckman and Tim Ott are juniors. The one you didn't know in the middle row is Cody Lubbers. The back row from left to right is Drew Westfahl, Winston Brown, Zack London, Michael Lamle, and John Peters.

My mom made me correct this because you left out her baby boy. ;)

[PawneeSports]

Thanks for the corrections. V-girl, you wouldn't to be the camera girl for the football team would you.

[video_girl]

No, I don't video for the team. I video all the games for my brother and a few of the players and make DVD's. We have the complete 2004, 2005 football seasons on DVD. We will have 2006 also. His freshman year I just vidoed while he was playing. I do the same with basketball for them. It has been suprising how often he will watch games from previous years. He came home yesterday after film and asked if we had a specific game so he could watch it.

[PawneeSports]

Pretty much what I have done in the past...these last two have been in the booth with the radio - 105.1 Stillwater. If I wasn't in the booth, I would be filming. What software to do you use or do you transfer it directly from your VidCam to DVD?

[video_girl]

Before this year we had a Mini-DV camcorder, so I started using Roxio EMC 7.5 to make the DVD's. I do game specific menus, picture of the team on the menu background. We wore out the camcorder recording a game every week, 2 or more during BB, and then capturing it on the computer. So now we have a Sony SR-101 HD camcorder and we've upgraded to Roxio EMC 9, previous versions didn't do widescreen. I've used other programs to make DVD's; Ulead, Adobe Premier, some Sonic DVD builder that came with the computer, but I don't like them as well.

[FR Turbo]

Heh heh... Pawnee sounds like he's warming up to asking for some Okeene video to study. :tongue:

Just messin' with ya, James.

[PawneeSports]

That would be nice to have...we are always game for footage.

[video_girl]

PawneeSports, So how early do I need to get to Pawnee Friday to get a decent place to video from? Or Would there be any way you could go mark off a spot for me, preferably top row 50 yd line.:D

[PawneeSports]

You could probably get into the booth...if you and your family plan to leave early and pick up a bite before the game.

My recommendation would be to try Click's Steakhouse (call for a table reservation early 918-762-2231). Other choices are Sonic (fast), El Tapitos (Mexican), Simple Simons (Pizza, deli sandwich), RanchBurger (Variety), Honest John Fibbers (Variety), Snak-n-Pak (Pizza or Chicken) or the football concession.

Arrive in Pawnee about 5:00PM and take an hour and a half to have dinner, get to Memorial Stadium about 6:30PM. It will fill up fast - school doesn't open the gates until then during the playoffs.

Coach David Ellis and sons (QB & WR).
versus
Coach Jeff Wardlaw and son (QB).
Coach Wardlaw has a son named Brady(QB)?

[Whippet mom]

And another son named Brock that plays receiver/linebacker. He also has a son Bret that is a 7th grader.

Does Pawnee have an area for elderly/handicap to pull their cars down around the field? I can not remember, or is your only option to park in the parking lot and walk in, and if your visitor, walk all the way around?

If you have a handicap pass, you may drive into the north gate by the field house. Please be sure to show the Lions Club members your auto pass. Also, leave handicap pass visible while parked.

Also, please contact Pawnee Schools to get complete validation on what I have posted. I'm posting this because my parents have used this method in the past. I do not know the "School Policy" on handicap parking. However, I positive Pawnee Schools will be more than happy to accommodate all handicap visitors.

Our home stands have a wheelchair ramp and platforms (North end of stands). Please come - You are Welcome in Pawnee!:thumbsup:

[Whippet mom]

This game Friday night will be the ultimate Class A match up. Both of these teams have had great seasons thus far. Whoever wins this one will definitely have earned the victory. Looking forward to this match up. The excitement is already eating at me. I can only imagine what I will be like come Friday.

[PawneeSports]

Back from a 8 hour drive from the Cornhusker School...NU. A really nice campus and boy was it windy.

Some media outlets are talking about this game being the State Championship...for selling papers but game will be decided on the field. My prayer is that everyone makes it safe to/from Pawnee on Friday.

[treedog113]

I hate to say it being a A-6 fan but I think okeene is going to win this game. I'm not going to jump out here and say its going to be a blowout or a close one cause I really don't know. I think Okeene is the best team in class A this year. They are the most balanced offensive team in the state. You can't line up and say i'm going to stop the run because they will kill you with the pass. Same goes for dropping people back for the pass they'll just run it down your throat. As for pawnees secondary yes they are good but they have not played anyone that can throw the ball like okeene. Size at the wide reciever postion will be the main factor in this game.

So you mean, Hominy could not throw the ball well? Or, Woodland does not have a good passing attack?

I believe Hominy & Woodlands QBs are some of the best in Class A. As for receivers, Hominy and Woodland has great receivers.

I think the Black Bear defense matches up well with Okeene. I've seen all three teams, yes - I'm a homer, but speed will get you every time. Advantage – Black Bears:spin:

[treedog113]

Yes hominy and woodland can throw the ball but okeene is in a whole diffrent level. you take speed i'll take speed and size. they got not one but two recievers over 6'4" if im not mistakin both corners are like 5'7' and they safty is not alot taller. Yes they are fast but when the ball is higher than they can reach their is not much that can be done.

Wasn't Crawford 6' 3"? He was also pretty fast. . .
Isn't Harrison 6' 2"? I think he has great speed. . .Big too!

[treedog113]

dude bo is like 5'11" and a great route runner not fast. and when owens had time to find crawford he was killin you.

[elk3730]

I thought Harrison was taller. Yes, we were killed by Owens. I wish we would have won that game. . . .:)

[treedog113]

like i said when he had time and i think okeenes line is much better than either of the two you have mentioned. And both of those teams are more one dimentional. Its pretty easy to defind something you know is coming

[chavis o'toole]

I think that this is going to be a very tough game. This game is pretty much a toss up to me. I think that I will have to give the edge to Pawnee at home though.

[elk3730]

I agree, Okeene's line has good size and seam to be physical. Also, you mentioned something important. . ."if you know what is coming"

Owens gave away "keys". 14 out of 17 times, he gave up a key to whom was getting the pass. Also, he gave away keys on a rush play - It was pretty obvious.

I won't say what keys were given by Woodland. That wouldn't be fair to Woodland. They are still in the hunt.

Okeene has tendencies, also. Hopefully, we can capitalize upon those and use them to our advantage.

[Whippet mom]

Not much talk about this BIG CLASS A matchup. I guess everyone is willing to just wait and see how it plays out on Friday. I personally am getting very excited and ready for this game. I stand behind my whippets, I say the whippets are going all the way to the gold ball this season.:jump: :jump: :jump:

[elk3730]

You guys have a great Holiday and a safe drive into Black Bear Country. It will be a very good game! Of course, I'm pulling for the Bears.

I know you’re proud of your kids. We all are! Come on down, we'll GET BUSY!

[Whippet mom]

Elk3730,
I understand you don't have many visitor stands. Okeene really follows their teams. I would venture to say we had more fans in the stands at all of our away games this year than the home team did except maybe the Beaver game and then it was pretty even. I also understand they don't open the gates until 6:30. Is all this info correct?

[elk3730]

Yes, our visitors stands are nothing to cheer about. . . .:( . Seating is limited and you will want to bring your blankets & seat cushions.

We have additional seating close to the South end zone, on Pawnee's side. However, I really believe "you" will want a 50 yard line seat (Most parents do!;) ).

The gates will open @ 6:00. If you're 15 minutes early, I don't think it's that big of a deal. . . .

We have a good concession stand but, there is a great Steakhouse in Pawnee (Click's). Better come early for the steak. Also, we have Mexican - El Tapito's.

I hope you enjoy your trip and Welcome to Pawnee!

[Mmgord77]

The views are a little tough from the endzone. That tends to be where our students (Washington) gathered last year. It was full up and the stands were mainly for parents and grandparents. It can be a pretty loud place to watch a game though, if the visitors fill the stadium. Pawnee always brings their crowd and I can't imagine it would be much different for this big of a game.

I love The Whippet Mom, but......

Pawnee 32
Okeene 24

[district1a-6crusher]

looking for a good ball game friday night at pawnee. however, i do believe pawnee will handle the whippets in handily fashion! district 1a-6 toughest in the state no doubt!! okeene has not faced the likes of what is about to be before them!


prediction:
pawnee - 48
okeene -24

[Clean Green]

I imagine it'll be the first time either team has had their starters play the whole game. No blowouts this week.

[Whippet mom]

District1a6crusher-
The Whippets are a tough team as well. They will not give up without a fight. The Black Bears better get ready to be attacked by a pack of dogs.
Looking forward to a bear and dog fight to the end. See you tomorrow.

Everyone have a great and enjoyable Thanksgiving with your family and friends.

What a nice run and one gold trophy in the case...Black Bears, WE ARE PROUD OF YOU.

[Whippet mom]

Congratulations to the Black Bears on a great season. I know it is always disappointing when you lose but your team is a great team. The team and fans were great.

I said earlier in the week that it would be a bear and dog fight. And that is exactly what happened.

Good luck to you in the future.

[Clean Green]

The Bears have regrets but certainly no shame. Pawnee is a fine program. Kudos to the kids and coaches.

[Whippet mom]

Hey PawneeSports,
What did you think of the Okeene Whippets crowd? I said earlier our fans really follow their teams. We were packed in over there like sardines and could have filled the stands at least once if not twice again with people standing on our sidelines. I noticed there were a bunch standing on your sidelines as well. That was an awesome over capacity crowd watching a great football game.:thumbsup: :clap: :spin:

Your crowd almost exceeded the Pawnee vs Tonkawa (district game) in 2004. It was an awesome atmosphere for a quarter-final playoff game...I wished we would have had some like that during the regular season-Woodland was close. The eastside was all baby powder blue-awe so sweet. LOL

I'm not so happy that we had to me so early in the playoffs...this matchup should have been in the semis or the finals. But that's part of bracketing and nothing to do with anybody-it's done prior to the season without knowing what will really happen.

Congratulations to the WHIPPETS! Now, I can say I have seen a real whippet...both on and off the field. By the way, the dog was a nice addition. LOL

[Whippet mom]

Thanks for your kind words PawneeSports. JoJo, the whippet dog, it much loved by the team and the fans. He loves the game too. He senses when it is Friday night and whines when it is time to head to the game.

If you get any info on the Washington/Commerce game please pass it on. Haven't been able to find a station carrying the game.

[PawneeSports]

Washington 27
Commerce 00

I would assume at UCO in Edmond...just a guess.
