Ponca City will take on the Tahlequah Tigers on Friday night at Sullins Stadium at 7:00 p.m. in the first round of playoffs. This is the first time in 17 years that Ponca City has hosted a playoff game.

Tahlequah is 3-7 on the season with a 2-5 record in 6A-II District 1 play. The team lost to Sapulpa 39-35, Wagoner 43-3, Charles Page 25-21, Booker T. Washington 47-0, Muskogee 48-13, Stillwater 55-0 and Bartlesville 28-16. They beat Sallisaw 38-27, Putnam City West 27-6 and Grant 70-0.

Wildcat football coach Scott Harmon urges the community to attend the game. “Our kids feed off our crowd. There is no doubt about that. We would love to see a packed house at Sullins Stadium to send this senior crew out in style,” he said. “They have a very unique opportunity to set themselves apart from any senior class in the last 36 years.”

“This game is a HUGE deal to our kids and we want our community to be a big part of it with us. Bundle up and bring a friend to the game. We are gonna play harder than ever.”
