CHECOTAH — The Checotah Wildcats are still learning how to play championship football. Friday night they received a hard lesson.
GORE — In a match-up of two undefeated teams in District A-8, the Gore Pirates came home with the district crown via a 33-6 win over Central Sallisaw.
CLAREMORE 21, TAHLEQUAH 14 — Even though the Tigers’ bid for a perfect regular season came up short, the District 5A-4 champion and No. 3-ranked Tigers (9-1, 6-1) get the fourth-place team from 5A-3 Coweta in the first round of the postseason next week.

WAGONER – It was the type of senior night game that had everything from a lights out halftime show by the Wagoner Marching Band to singing of “Sweet Caroline” and “Happy Birthday” in the post game huddle. In the middle of all that, there was a dominating performance by Wagoner.

CHECOTAH 33, ROLAND 8 — The Wildcats (8-1, 6-0) turn their attention to the showdown for the District 3A-3 title next week at home against Lincoln Christian. Lincoln Christian beat Idabel, 55-0. Jacob Barrett started the scoring in the second half with a kickoff return. Checotah coach Chad H…
