Fall Classic at Bixby ends with Tigers and Spartan victories

Bixby hosted a set of scrimmages on the Friday before the season starts across the state with Broken Arrow, Stillwater and Edmond Santa Fe as the participating teams.

Broken Arrow and Stillwater started the night off. Stillwater is the clear favorite to win the Class 6A-II title this season.

The Tigers' defense looked good. With Semaj Stanford and Bryson Brown in the secondary for this team, it'll be hard to get touchdowns on these guys. They both had picks on the night, and Stanford added a receiving touchdown to his stats as well from 10 yards out. Brown's pick ended in the endzone for a pick-six.

Broken Arrow beat Stillwater, 14-7.

To cap off the night, Bixby took on Edmond Santa Fe.

The Wolves started off strong. On the third play of the game, the Spartans threw it right into the hands of the defense, and they took the opposite way for a pick-six.

After a little adversity, Bixby got into their usual groove and started lighting up the scoreboard.

First, a field goal to make it 7-3.

Then, Tyler Wright, Cord Nolan and Braeden Presley all received touchdowns to seal the night off and a rushing touchdown to add to it.

Bixby wins it 31-7.
