Edmond Santa Fe's game at Jenks tops Week 7 slate
Get ready for some Thursday night football.
It's fall break week, meaning there's a full slate of games Thursday and only a handful Friday. With only four weeks left in the regular season, every game becomes more important as teams jockey for playoff positioning
Here are The Oklahoman's top 10 games of Week 7:
1. Class 6A-I No. 5 Edmond Santa Fe (4-2, 3-0) at No. 2 Jenks (5-1, 2-0): The only two undefeated teams in the district will square off vying to take control and earn a district crown. Edmond Santa Fe has won four straight since season-opening losses. Jenks seems improved after a state runner-up finish last season.
2. Class 5A No. 1 Carl Albert (4-1, 2-0) at No. 3 Piedmont (3-1, 1-0): Carl Albert is coming off a come-from-behind stunner against McGuinness while Piedmont hasn't played since Week 4. Last season, Piedmont ended the Titans' 40-game win streak. Could they pull off the upset again?
3. Class 5A No. 6 Coweta (5-1, 3-0) at No. 9 McAlester (5-1, 2-1): Both teams have played well this season, with their only losses coming against higherranked teams. The winner takes prime position at hosting a playoff game in the first round with a victory.
4. Class 3A No. 7 Berryhill (1-2, 0-1) at No. 1 Tulsa Holland Hall (5-0, 2-0): Both teams are coming off bye weeks because of game cancellations. Berryhill has only played half its schedule to this point, yet it will try to surpass the Dutch's stout defense.
5. Class 6A-I No. 10 Putnam City (3-2, 1-1) at No. 8 Norman North (3-2, 2-1), Friday: Putnam City is coming off a last-second loss against Southmoore while Norman North edged out a victory at Moore. The winner will give itself another key victory toward getting back in the playoffs.
6. Class 6A-II No. 2 Stillwater (4-0, 2-0) at No. 9 Lawton (3-1, 0-1), Friday: Both teams missed games in Week 6. Two-time defending state runner-up Stillwater will head down Interstate 44 looking to continue its hot streak, but Lawton has upset on its mind.
When they last played at Cameron Stadium, Stillwater scored on its final play to win.
7. Class 6A-II No. 4 Putnam North (5-0, 2-0) at No. 7 Del City (0-4, 0-2): Putnam North has started perfect through five games for the third consecutive season but faces its strongest test yet against a good Del City team that has yet to break through. The Eagles are primed for a big week.
8. Class 6A-I No. 3 Broken Arrow (3-2, 1-1) at No. 6 Yukon (4-2, 2-1): If last season's matchup is any indication, these teams could be headed for a shootout. It will be a battle of two strong rushing attacks and ball control.
9. Class 3A No. 6 Kingston (6-0, 3-0) at Sulphur (4-2, 3-0): Kingston's jump to Class 3A has been flawless this season, but it will face its toughest test yet against a Sulphur team that has controlled the district and been a state title contender for years.
10. Class 2A Oklahoma Christian School (5-0, 3-0) at Luther (3-3, 3-0), Friday: The two district leaders have been stout through their first three games. With a win, OCS or Luther will control its destiny in winning a district title. *-All games Thursday unless noted
