GUYMON, Okla. — The Guymon Tigers couldn’t have asked for a better start to Friday’s game against Liberal, but once the Redskins turned a corner, they never looked back in a 52-13 Redskin win.
The first three minutes were a disaster for the Redskins. Guymon kicked off a short bloop, and the Redskins didn’t cover the ball. Guymon fell on the loose ball and three plays later reached the end zone for a 7-0 lead.

TURPIN, Okla.—It was a happy homecoming as the Turpin Cardinals broke into the win column with a dominating 58-20 win over the Buffalo Bison.
Homecoming king Riley Fowler was a perfect 8 for 8 passing for 157 yards and 4 TDs. Fowler also rushed for another score and 44 yards in less than a half of work, all in his first start at quarterback. Fowler started the season at tight end but was moved to QB because of injuries. Cesar Quintana caught three of those TD passes for 80 yards in his first action of the season. Quintana is one of two players from Beaver playing for the Cardinals after their season was cancelled due to a lack of players. The OSSAA cleared them to play the day before.
After scoring a major win over Dodge City Tuesday, the Redskins suffered a setback Thursday when they dropped a Western Athletic Conference game to Garden City, 1-0.
The Redskins had a slow start on their home field Thursday, and the Buffaloes spent the first 20 minuets controlling the ball and keeping the pressure on the Redskin defense.
The Redskins struggled to get the ball by the Buffalo midfielders and didn’t have very many scoring opportunities early.
The Seymour Rogers eighth grade Apaches suffered their first loss of the season to Dodge City, 20-0.
The Apaches moved the ball in the first half, but drives stalled.
The Cardinals put together a scoring drive early in the second quarter to take a 6-0 lead, and neither team scored again until the final play of the first half when the Cardinals fumbled in their own backfield but picked up the loose ball and scampered 42 yards for a touchdown.
The seventh grade Apaches played with five players out for the season due to injuries, and Dodge City was able to come away with a 42-6 win. Gabriel Rodriguez scored for the Apaches.
