MUSKOGEE AT 6A NO. 5 BIXBY

Kickoff: 7 p.m. Webcast: rougher.tv Records: Bixby 1-3, 0-0 6AII-2; Muskogee 2-2, 1-0 6AII-2. Last week: Westmoore 34, Bixby 22; Muskogee 71, Bartlesville 6. Last meeting: Muskogee 45, Bixby 42 (2016). Series record: Bixby leads, 4-2. Notes: Both teams have scored over 40 points each in three of the last four meetings. … The 71 points scored last week were the most for a Rougher team since a 71-33 win over Tulsa Rogers in 1994. ... The Spartans allowed over 300 yards rushing in losing their third straight game, 34-22. At 1-3 they’re off to their worst start since dropping five straight to start the 2011 season. ... Some keys: Diante Crutchfield has eight TD catches and in 16 receptions is averaging 34.9 yards. The 5-foot-9, 165-pound senior will likely draw Brennan Pressley, a 5-9, 175 sophomore formerly at Tulsa Washington who transferred to Bixby last year but was not eligible when the two teams met. Also, the Roughers front seven against the Spartans’ running game, be it Tucker Pawley (302 yards, 5.6 per carry) or Braden Roller (273, 5.6), who has seen action in recent weeks with Pawley injured. Roller’s brother Nic had 600 yards on the ground and 12 touchdowns against MHS in 2015 and 2015. Also key for MHS defensively is how much pressure they can put on Bixby QB Staton King, who has eight interceptions so far. Rougher Devin Hillmon had four picks against Bartlesville.
