Barry Lewis: Dream seasons can end with a bad taste

Last week, several football teams lost their playoff openers after going 10-0 in the regular season. Those teams included Metro Christian, Madill, Tahlequah Sequoyah and Maud.

Commerce coach Willie Ng can understand what the coaches of those teams are going through now. Last year, Commerce lost its playoff opener after a 10-0 regular season. Last Friday, Ng had a much better feeling after a 32-31, doubleovertime win over Woodland in a Class A playoff opener.

Sperry’s Jones improvised key play

Sperry tailback Charlie Jones picked up a key first down when he faked a punt and ran for 11 yards with 7;31 left in a 28-14 upset over Tahlequah Sequoyah in a Class 2A playoff opener last Friday. Sequoyah trailed only 19-14 at the time. The play set up B.J. Driver’s 37-yard TD run.

Jones’ fake punt was not a planned play by Sperry coach Robert Park.

“Charlie had seen earlier in the game that their players had their backs turned when he was punting,” Park said. “When he saw them do it again, he took off. We never talked about him faking a punt, but we’re glad he did it. It swung the momentum back to us.”

Stigler quarterback Jarret Radford was selected as the Tulsa World’s football athlete of the week in online voting.
