Stroud scored 40 points in the first quarter en route to a 59-0 win over Wewoka Friday night in Stroud. The game clinched the District A-6 championship with the win and will host a first-round game in the playoffs.

Davenport football coach John Greenfield described his team’s 49-0 loss to Wetumka last week as a “game of errors.” “The very first snap on offense we fumbled and they scooped it up and scored,” Greenfield said.

Chandler’s path to a district championship took a detour Friday night, as Jones came to town and left with a 57-28 victory. The win left Jones atop District 2A-2 with a 5-0 record and Chandler in second at 4-1.

Tigers 58, Mounds 8

Stroud’s Tigers scored on their first two offensive plays, led 30-0 with just over six minutes gone in the game and hung half a hundred on Mounds in the first two quarters Thursday night. It was a continuation of the Tigers’ domination of District A-6.

If the Dogs win one of their final two games, they’ll be in the playoffs. If that win is against Crossings Friday night, they probably will finish third and play the second-place team from District 2A-1 on the round in the first round. Photo/Rick Hester
