It is mid-January in Oklahoma. The wind is biting, the fields are dormant, and most people have traded their Friday night bleacher seats for gym bleachers to watch basketball. But if you walk into any small-town diner from Bixby to Talihina, the conversation isn't about the hardwood. It's about what just happened on the turf.
Honestly, the oklahoma high school football scores from this past December didn't just crown champions; they redefined a few legacies.
You've got the usual suspects, of course. Bixby doing Bixby things. But then you look at the 2A-I bracket or the slugfest in 4A, and you realize the gap between the "dynasties" and the "rest" is getting weirdly thin. We’re going to look at the numbers that actually mattered and the ones that caught everyone off guard.
The 6A-I Machine and the Owasso Wall
Let's just get the big one out of the way. Bixby won. Again.
They took down Owasso 31-17 in the 6A-I finale. For a while there, people thought Bill Blankenship’s Owasso Rams might actually have the formula to crack the code. Bixby’s 13-0 season feels inevitable at this point, but 31-17 is a lot closer than some of the 50-point blowouts we’ve seen in years past.
Loren Montgomery has built something in Bixby that feels less like a high school team and more like a developmental program for the SEC. The Spartans finished the season ranked #1 in almost every composite poll, but the "score" doesn't tell the whole story. Owasso’s defense actually held them to their second-lowest point total of the season.
That matters. It shows that even the giants can be slowed down, even if they can't be stopped.

Sand Springs and the 6A-II Shakeup
If you want to talk about a game that lived up to the hype, look at the 6A-II final. Sand Springs 32, Choctaw 27.
Basically, this was the game of the year for the big classes. Bobby Klinck has been building that Sand Springs program for a minute now, and seeing them pull off a five-point win over a powerhouse like Choctaw was sort of the "I told you so" moment for that community.
Choctaw was coming in hot. They had the athletes. They had the momentum. But Sand Springs managed to grind out a victory that came down to the final few possessions. When you track Oklahoma high school football scores throughout the playoffs, you see a lot of blowouts in the early rounds, but this final was a reminder that 6A-II is arguably the most competitive division in the state right now.
Small Town Power: The 2A and Class C Shockers
The most lopsided score of the championship weekend? That would be Ryan’s 60-30 thumping of Medford in Class C. Tony Tomberlin’s squad was just on another level.
But the real drama was in Class 2A-I.
Jones 20, Washington 14.
Think about that for a second. Washington has been the gold standard for small-school ball in Oklahoma for years. They entered the playoffs as the heavy favorites. Jones, coached by Kevin Witt, played a nearly perfect defensive game. Holding a Washington offense—that had been scoring at will all season—to just 14 points is nothing short of a miracle.

- Class 2A-II: Adair 34, Vian 29.
- Class A-I: Rejoice Christian 34, Tonkawa 13.
- Class A-II: Talihina 26, Hominy 20.
Talihina’s win over Hominy was particularly gritty. Hominy is a proud program with a massive tradition, but Talihina finished 14-0 for a reason. They had Landen Griffith at quarterback throwing for over 4,000 yards on the season. When you have a kid putting up those kinds of numbers, your final score is usually going to be in the "W" column.
Why the Scores Look Different This Year
There is a misconception that Oklahoma football is just "run the ball and cloud of dust." That’s dead.
Look at Carl Albert’s 48-7 win over Bishop McGuinness in the 5A final. Mike Dunn’s Titans didn't just run over people; they used Delijah Matthews (who finished with 45 touchdowns) to exploit every single mismatch on the perimeter.
The scoreboards are lighting up because the coaching has caught up to the modern era. We're seeing spread offenses in 8-man ball and complex defensive schemes in 2A. The 2025 season saw an average scoring increase across the board in the playoffs compared to five years ago.
Actionable Insights for the Offseason
If you’re a fan, a parent, or a player looking at these results and wondering what’s next, there are a few things you should be doing right now.
First, keep an eye on the OSSAA re-classification meetings. With the way some of these schools are growing, the 2026-2027 districts might look significantly different. A school like Elgin, which pushed Tuttle to a 23-20 finish in the 4A final, is a program on the rise that might find itself competing with the "big boys" sooner than later.

Second, if you're a player, look at the stat leaders from this year. Landen Griffith from Talihina and Wyatt Atkinson from Perkins-Tryon didn't get those numbers by just showing up in August. The winter is for the weight room.
Finally, bookmark the official OSSAA site and Skordle. While the scores are final for 2025, the recruitment cycle for the juniors who dominated these championship games is just starting to heat up. Guys like Delijah Matthews are already national names, but the next crop of talent is currently sitting in a film room somewhere in Tuttle or Lincoln Christian, trying to figure out how to flip a 3-point loss into a 7-point win next December.
The 2025 season is in the books, but in Oklahoma, the next season started the Monday after the finals.
The weight rooms are already full.
And the scores? They’re just waiting to be written.
