It started on a late summer's night in Salina, KS, and except for a slight detour at the hands of their cross-city rival MacArthur Highlanders (who too find themselves battling for a state title this weekend), the road has led the Lawton Wolverines directly to the 6A-II State Finals Friday night in Moore.

Deion Sanders' Prime Prep Academy Spartans made the long bus ride from Dallas to Lawton Friday night, giving the Lawton High Wolverines all they could handle for the first 45:15 of the game. But with the game on the line, it was the Wolverine defense that was "Prime" turning in a pair of pick-six interceptions in the final 2:45 of the game that made the difference, turning a tenuous 28-2

Lawton Wolverine Head Coach Randy Breeze has not always had his halftime speeches followed as planned after giving them, but Friday night his Wolverines stuck to his script and it paid off in 32-14 win over the visiting Stillwater Pioneers.
