Midwest City wins defensive battle in Yukon

A chilly and clear sky sat over Miller Stadium in Yukon Thursday night as the Midwest City Bombers wanted to show a little more consistency over the last few weeks of the regular season.  They were able to come out on top in a defensive struggle against conference opponent, the Yukon Millers.  The Bombers sprinted out wearing their white uniforms as they stared down the Millers at midfield.  Midwest City was riding high off of a 10-point victory against Eisenhower last week. The Millers were hoping for victory like their 21-point win over Moore last Thursday night.  Head Coach Todd Wilson kept the Millers motivated to play against the Bombers’ stout defense.  Midwest City received the ball on the opening kickoff, junior return-man Demeco Wright brought the ball 76 yards to Yukon’s 24-yard line.  The first snap was called back with an encroachment penalty against the Millers and advanced the Bombers 5 yards.  The booming start came to an end at Yukon’s 10-yard line.  Midwest City made the field goal for the first score of the game: 3-0.  The Yukon Millers’ first drive was a short three-and-out.  Friday, October 25, 2013

Regular season narrowing down

Several Eastern Oklahoma County teams dominated the gridiron in five one-sided games. The warm weather left just in time for the games, leaving chilling temperatures that are here to stay. For fans and players alike this means its time to break out the blankets so fans can continue to support their teams. Lets bundle up and take a look at what’s going on in this week’s football preview. The Carl Albert Titans took on the Northwest Classen Knights in the rain last Friday. Slippery conditions led to several fumbles by the Knights, and a Titan victory. Carl Albert scored 52 points to Northwestern’s 14. Kadell Nguyan led the scoring for the Titans with four touchdowns in the game. Carl Albert remains third in the Oklahoman 5A poll as they take on Guymon next week. The Titans are 5-2 for the season. Thursday, October 24, 2013

State Champs

Last week, Carl Albert won their fifth 5A fast pitch softball state championship, beating Lawton Macarthur, Tahlequah and Deer Creek on their way to the title. Coach Colin White was not surprised by the win. "Abby’s [Meador] been dominate in the circle all year long, and we’ve been swinging all year long," said White "I told them they were the best team going in and they were the only team that could beat them[selves]" The Lady Titans started off a bit shaky Thursday, Oct. 17 when they played Lawton Macarthur with several players missing catches leading to the only Lady Highlander score. This score woke up the Carl Albert defense, led by pitcher Abby Meador, who struck out 17 batters during this game alone. Mackenzie Wright led the offense with three scores.

Del City defeats Capitol Hill in Homecoming

At Robert Kalsu Stadium in Del City, the temperatures dipped into the low-40s and drizzle covered the field as the Del City Eagles were set to face divisional opponent, Capitol Hill.  Still winless in their division—coming in at 1-and-5 overall—the Redskins had a hard time stopping the Eagles’ running attack.  Last week, in a winning effort against the Altus Bulldogs, sophomore quarterback Colin Watford, got his first start and win.  He kept that momentum rolling as he led the way in a lopsided victory against Capitol Hill.  Coming in at 3-3, Del City wanted to make a statement in their Homecoming game against the bottom ranked Capitol Hill Redskins.  Last year, the Eagles shut out Capitol Hill while scoring 61-points in the Redskins’ stadium.  It did not take much time for a similar game to begin, but this time in Del City.  Friday, October 18, 2013

Dominating defense leads Bombers to victory

The Midwest City Bombers played host to the Lawton Eisenhower Eagles on a blustery rainy Friday night. This weather didn’t stop the Bomber defense from putting on a show for the fans on homecoming. Midwest City started the game by allowing a 30-yard field goal by Brandon Schmit. After this score, the defense tightened down and put the clamps on the Eagle offense. The offense was able to run the ball up the middle most of the night. RJ Goodman bullied his way in the end zone for a 6 yard touchdown. The extra point was good and the Bombers took a 7-3 lead. Friday, October 18, 2013

Titans combat both the weather and Knights

This cold, wet Friday night proved to be a challenge for both the players and the fans as the Carl Albert Titans took on the Northwest Classen Knights in a nearly empty stadium. The Knights never could get a grasp on the weather, or the ball falling 52-14 to the Titans. From the first drive, Carl Albert dominated the game as senior Chantz Woodberry ran the ball into the end zone for the first touchdown of the game. Slippery conditions and frozen fingers led to several dropped plays by the Knights, starting with a fumble that allowed Robert Lolofie to score the second touchdown of the game. Then running back Fre’Darian Ashley overcame a dropped snap for an 87-yard sprint for Northwest’s the first touchdown. He then went on to catch a pass from Eric McGee for a 2-point conversion.

Titans tackled by title rivals Guthrie

Heading into Friday night's contest, Carl Albert had lost its last three meetings with archrival Guthrie. In fact, the last time Carl Albert won the rivalry game was back in 2009 when the Titans trounced the Bluejays 40-14 on their way to a state title. Though Guthrie outscored Carl Albert 91-66 in those three years, the last two games were decided by a total of seven points, so this game figured to be another barnburner, and the teams did not disappoint.  Fans from both teams watched as the top two ranked teams in 5A battled it out on the field, and in the end, it was Guthrie that came away with a 28-21 win.

Eagles handle Bulldogs 52-14

It can be difficult for some teams to put a tough loss behind them. That was not the case for Del City tonight as they beat Altus 52-14 at Robert Kalsu Stadium.

He could be out up to two months with a broken collarbone.  Friday, October 11, 2013

Bombers drop heartbreaker to Panthers in overtime

The Midwest City Bombers went on the road tonight and faced a Putnam City North Panther team who had the same district record of 1-1.

Putnam City got on the board found with 6:19 to go in the first quarter when Riley Sterling caught the 20 yard touchdown pass to put the Panthers ahead 7-0. Friday, October 11, 2013

Once again, we start with the Carl Albert Titans. This week, the Titans host the Guthrie Bluejays at 7:00 p.m. Friday, Oct. 11.

However, Guthrie is comes into the game with a perfect 5-0 mark. Last week, Carl Albert went on the road to Bishop McGuinnes and came away 35-21 winners. Thursday, October 10, 2013

Eagles unable to grab road win

ARDMORE — Throughout the early part of the season, Ardmore has ridden the coat tails of its defense. But Friday night, the offense showed up in full force. The result? The Tigers look like a very dangerous football team. No. 6-ranked Ardmore scored on its first three possessions against No. 7-ranked Del City and dominated the majority of its 29-20 win. Thursday, October 10, 2013

Titans topple Fighting Irish

Late field goal gives Bombers first defeat

One kick meant that Midwest City was not able to stay undefeated in 2013 as Norman North triumphed 45-42 Friday in Norman. Previously, the Bombers’ trademark had been its defense and crunch time stops. The team also relied on a strong running game through the first three weeks of the season. This time Midwest City’s offense stepped up its output in the passing game when the running game stalled. Thursday, October 03, 2013

Playoff race heats up in Week 5

District play kicked off last week for our local high schools, starting the race for the playoffs.

District play starts in Week 4

The calendar said fall officially came to Eastern Oklahoma County this week; back on Sunday, Sept. 22 for those who are keeping score. However, over here at the EastWord office it didn’t feel like autumn until a bit of a cold front came through the area this week.

Carl Albert and Duncan are no strangers to each other.  Friday night's game marked the ninth time in the past eight years the teams have faced off, all of the victories belonging to the Titans, outscoring the Demons 277-87 in that time span. Unfortunately for Duncan, none of that changed as the Titans cruised to a 28-6 win. It did not take long for the scales to tip in Carl Albert's favor.

[Del City head coach] Nick Warehime and his guys do a very good job with their talent and they’re going to be tough in 5A. They got us last year.” Friday, September 20, 2013
