The final week of the regular season, how fast has the time flown?

It seems like only yesterday we were here talking about the first game of the year and thinking of all the things that could have been.

This, the final week of the regular season falls on the Friday after Halloween, so plenty of puns could be sent around the campfire as we talk about the matchups and their implications this week.

The game with likely the biggest playoff implications is the Lawton High vs. Norman battle in Norman. It's going to be tough for the Wolverines to go up to Norman and knock off the Tigers, but since Norman already has a playoff spot wrapped up the Tigers may send in backups early and rest anyone with any nagging injuries, which for every team is a problem at this point. Just whether or not that will be the case nobody will know until Friday, but that could help Lawton High get a win and claim a playoff berth.
