High School Football Playoffs
It’s the high school football playoff team tonight all across the great state of Oklahoma, and you can feel the excitement right here in Elk City. The Big Elks are hosting a playoff game for the first time since 1998. Tonight’s opponent is a familiar one, the Newcastle Racers. The teams were district mates for the previous 8 years. Each team won 4. The Elks finished 1st in district 1, while the Racers are the 4th place team in district 2. Head Coach Zac Maynard stopped by to talk about what he sees from Newcastle….. We were also able to hear from Elk City Sr. Matthew Thompson. He gave us the key for the Elks’ offense…. Come on out to Big Elk Stadium tonight for some playoff action if you can, but if not we’ll have you covered with live video streaming on Bigelktv as well as radio coverage available on KOOL94. The pregame will get going at 6:30 with the kickoff scheduled for 7.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL WEEKEND
Both in-state schools are back on the Big 12 gridiron this weekend. Oklahoma’s at Morgantown to face West Virginia. The Sooners are 5-4 still in search of that elusive sixth win for bowl eligibility. The Mountaineers are only 3-6, but they’ve been a tough out at home with an upset of Baylor and nearly knocking off #4 TCU. Oklahoma’s a perfect 9-0 against West Virginia since the Mountaineers joined the Big 12 back in 2012. You can hear Oklahoma/West Virginia tomorrow morning on KOOL94. The Pregame gets going at 9 with the kickoff scheduled for 11.
The Ok State Cowboys are back at it inside Boone Pickens Stadium with Iowa St in town. The Pokes have lost 3 of 4 while the Cyclones are coming from a win last week that snapped a 5-game losing skid. OSU must win tomorrow to have any hope of remaining in the fight for a Big 12 Championship game appearance. The kickoff between the Cowboys and the Cyclones is tomorrow at 2:30.
