PREGAME
- Live from Memorial Stadium in Broken Arrow, it’s a key 6AI-1 showdown, not to mention a playoff rematch, as Mustang takes on undefeated Broken Arrow.
ABOUT MUSTANG
Last week, the Broncos put together perhaps their best performance of the season with a 54-7 win at home against Edmond North.
One player to watch from Mustang is senior receiver/defensive back Gabe Osborne Jr., an Oklahoma commit, This season, Osborne has caught eight passes for 215 yards and four TDs, while on defense, he has 19 tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss. Interestingly enough, while the Broncos have seven interceptions on the season, Osborne doesn’t have any as several teams are reluctant to throw in his direction.
ABOUT BROKEN ARROW
Through six games, the Tigers have answered the challenge on each occasion. Now, they must get past Mustang in order to set up a potentially huge showdown later this month against Bixby.
Senior quarterback Shamar Banner - a move-in over the offseason - has been a key addition to Broken Arrow’s 6AI title hopes. He has thrown for nearly 1,000 yards and 12 TDs.
But if teams focus too much on Banner, the Tigers can unleash running backs Corey Sango Jr. and Octavian Roberson, each of whom have rushed for at least 440 yards and have combined to score seven TDs.
