This is an abbreviated Friday Night Highlights this week. Two future Pokes had bye weeks, but reliable stats could not be found for most Oklahoma HS players. If y’all have any suggestions on where to find reliable stats for any Oklahoma school not named Bixby... let me know!
Garret Rangel, quarterback
Welcome back Mr. Rangel! The Frisco (TX) Lone Star signal caller missed the last few weeks with a leg injury, but returned in week six to smoke rival Frisco Reedy. Rangel finished with 201 yards and two touchdowns on 13-of-17 passing in a 42-6 win.
Garret Rangel is back and looking better than ever! @GarretRangel put up big numbers against Reedy- only to be outdone by @AshtonJeanty2! Rangel and Jeanty pack a powerful one-two punch to push @LSHS_FBRecruits past Reedy! We'll have the highlights Saturday night at 6:30 on NBC5! pic.twitter.com/pdbKhXnPDa

Of course, it helps having a weapon like running back Ashton Jeanty. Lone Star moves to 4-1 (3-0) and shouldn’t have problem with the rest of the district until a Nov. 5 district finale (and likely de-facto district championship game) against Denton Ryan.
Braylin Presley, Athlete
Bixby (OK) pretty much had the “you score a touchdown and you’re benched for the rest of the game” rule in effect last week. The Spartans boat raced Putnam City West 81-6 in a game where six players recorded a carry, nine players recorded a catch, and four players threw a pass.
As such, it was a very early exit for Presley after Bixby put up 39 points in the first quarter alone. Presley finished with four carries for 32 yards and a score, and caught three passes for 43 yards and an additional touchdown.
Make it 41 in a row for @BixbySpartanFB.

Bixby puts 81 points on PC West tonight.
The state's best player, @braylinpres2022 scores a TD for the 29th straight game.
Great pass and catch from @_christianburke and @jakebsnyda16 too. pic.twitter.com/58b7fFI3Ux
Next up is at Choctaw as the Spartans look to extend their winning streak to 42 games.
