Game preview: Wagoner vs Elgin

The stage is set for a monumental showdown as the undefeated Elgin Owls (Class 11) take on the unbeaten Wagoner Bulldogs (Class 13). With both teams boasting 12-0 records, this high-stakes matchup promises to be a classic battle of dominance in Oklahoma high school football.

Team Overviews and Key Stats

Elgin enters the game with a near-flawless record in both performance and scoring. With an overall points-for (PF) tally of 594 against just 54 points-allowed (PA), the Owls have been a defensive fortress and an offensive juggernaut. Wagoner is no slouch either, with 571 PF and 116 PA, showcasing their balanced attack and resilient defense.

Offensive Strengths
  • Elgin: The Owls excel early, averaging an explosive 16.6 points in the first quarter and 18.2 in the second, setting the tone before halftime. Their overall scoring average stands at an impressive 49.5 points per game.
  • Wagoner: The Bulldogs show resilience in the third quarter, averaging 18.8 points, their most productive phase. Their scoring consistency results in a robust 47.6 points per game.
Defensive Mastery
  • Elgin has allowed just 54 points all season, equating to a stingy 4.5 points per game.
  • Wagoner’s defense has faced stiffer challenges, conceding 116 points, or 9.7 points per game, but still holds firm when it matters most.

Common Opponents

Both teams have faced Clinton, with Elgin dismantling them 42-7 in a November 1 showdown, while Wagoner secured a convincing 29-0 victory on November 22. These performances highlight Elgin’s slightly higher offensive output and Wagoner’s ability to pitch a shutout.

Home and Away Dominance

  • Elgin: Undefeated at home (8-0) and on the road (4-0), they thrive in any environment.
  • Wagoner: With a balanced 7-0 home record and 5-0 on the road, the Bulldogs are equally formidable.

What to Watch For

This game will likely hinge on two factors:

  1. Early Momentum: Elgin’s dominance in the first half versus Wagoner’s knack for third-quarter comebacks could determine the game’s flow.
  2. Defensive Prowess: Elgin’s nearly impenetrable defense faces its toughest test against Wagoner’s dynamic offense.

Prediction

With both teams evenly matched, the winner will be the squad that stays disciplined, capitalizes on turnovers, and adjusts to the other’s strengths. Expect fireworks from start to finish as these two powerhouses clash for glory.

This is more than a game; it’s a showcase of excellence in Oklahoma high school football. Buckle up for a showdown that fans will be talking about for years!
