Oklahoma high school football Week 6 four downs. OSSAA best upsets, players and more

Week 6 of the Oklahoma high school football season featured many close endings and notable upsets across the state in several classes. Here’s a look at some key storylines: More: Anthony Keys has big night as Choctaw stings Piedmont for district win Putnam City edges Norman for second straight one-point district win Willis Alexander knew the 2026 season would test Putnam City’s depth. After losing 18 starters from a team that reached the Class 6A-II state semifinals, Putnam City faced the challenge of replacing production and experience. The adjustment came with early struggles. Putnam City opened the season 0-4. “When you lose that many starters — at any level — that’s gonna be a tall challenge,” Alexander said. “We’ve had to adjust. Every year, each team is a different team and it takes time to mesh. The last couple of weeks we’ve been able to make winning plays down the stretch of games. That’s what’s really important to winning.” The Pirates delivered another win Thursday, edging Norman 28-27 for their second consecutive one-point district victory. A week earlier, they defeated crosstown rival Putnam City North in overtime. Senior quarterback Daevon Simmons powered the offense against Norman, throwing for 254 yards
