Crescent High’s football playoff run nearly ended before it started Friday night on its home field._ But the Tigers, who had trailed No. 10 Ringling 28-14 at halftime, stormed back to win a 35-34 thriller as Kade Varner scored the tying touchdown on a 10-yard run in the fourth quarter, added the go-ahead extra point and then sealed the deal with_an interception at Crescent’s 41-yard line. The Tigers (10-1) now travel to meet top-ranked Fairview (11-0) this Friday night for a quarterfinal game with the defending Class A state champions, who are on a 26-game winning streak.

Coyle High’s Bluejackets enjoyed their first-round football playoff _ trip to southeast Oklahoma, where they defeated Maud High School 60-14 to open the Class C playoffs. The Bluejackets (8-3) now have a 90-minute trip to the northwest side of the state this Friday, when they meet No.

Guthrie High senior Jaylen Harper rushed for a school-record 343 yards and scored five touchdowns to fuel the Bluejays’ 49- 21 firstround playoff rout against Lawton MacArthur on Friday night at Jelsma Stadium._ The Bluejays, who travel to meet No. 2 Del City this week, totaled 423 yards on the ground and zero passing yards.

The good news is that the Guthrie Bluejays made quick work of the Shawnee Wolves on Senior Night, last Friday, taking advantage of multiple mistakes to lead 20-0 after one quarter and 44-0 at the half on the way to a 50-0 win. The bad news is that they will get a very good Lawton MacArthur (8-2) team in the first round of the playoffs this Friday night at Jelsma Stadium.
