2011 CHAMPION

Hennessey (8-2): The third-ranked Eagles are two-time defending champions. Their only losses in 2012 are to 3A No. 2 Kingfisher and 3A No. 8 Jones. They outscored seven 2A opponents and NOAH by a combined 349-72.

TEAM TO BEAT

Vian (10-0): The No. 1 Wolverines’ only loss of the past two years was to Hennessey in the 2011 quarterfinals. They’ve put up ridiculous numbers in 2012, allowing only 23 points and outscoring opponents by nearly 60 points per game. Top players include University of Tulsa lineman commit Rob Boyd and running back Rowdy Simon.

SLEEPER

Frederick (10-0): The eighth-ranked Bombers averaged 63.7 points, surpassing even Vian’s scoring pace. Their road to the final seems easier, with five of the top seven teams on the opposite side of the bracket.

AREA CONTENDER

Adair (10-0): The Warriors ripped Pawhuska 38-14 to avenge last year’s first-round playoff loss. Running back Zak Woolman has 30 TDs and quarterback Brady Bradbury has accounted for 25 touchdowns.

PREDICTED FINISH

Vian 45, Frederick 39
