Bixby High School Football Shines Again!
In the charming town of Bixby, Oklahoma, excitement is in the air as the Bixby High School football team is gearing up for its 11th consecutive trip to the state championship game! Over the last decade, this team has built a solid reputation, making them a force to be reckoned with on the Oklahoma high school football scene. With a remarkable playoff record of 32-1 over the past eleven years, Bixby has proven time and time again that they mean business when it comes to football.
A Little About Bixby
For those who might not know, Bixby has also transformed over the years. The town’s population has skyrocketed from just about 1,250 residents in 1920 to nearly 29,000 in 2020, making it one of the fastest-growing areas in the Tulsa metro. And don’t let the relatively small size fool you – Bixby boasts the highest per capita income in the Tulsa area, coming in at a stunning 50% above the Oklahoma state average. This vibrant community supports its Spartans wholeheartedly, rallying behind them as they pursue yet another title.
Spartan Dominance
Now back to football! The Bixby Spartans have claimed an astonishing 10 state championships in the last 11 seasons. They first made headlines by winning their state title in 2014, then followed it up with wins in 2015 and 2016. The only bump in the road was a heartbreaking loss in 2017, but since that loss, the Spartans have been unstoppable, claiming victory in every playoff game.
In 2022, Bixby faced new challenges by moving up to the 6A-DI classification. However, they showed their prowess again by dominating the playoffs with a recent stellar victory over Edmond North, where they crushed the competition with an incredible score of 85-24. With this win, their season record climbed to 5-1, with their only defeat coming at the hands of the No. 2 ranked team, Owasso. This loss, however, hasn’t dampened their spirits as they gear up for the championship game.
Upcoming Championship Showdown
Bixby now prepares for an electrifying rematch against the Owasso Rams for the coveted state championship title. The Spartans aim to clinch their seventh consecutive title and solidify their position as Oklahoma’s high school football royalty. Meanwhile, they enjoy a lofty ranking as the top high school football team in Oklahoma, and not to mention, they are considered the No. 15 program in the country according to On3 Massey Ratings!
A Look at Key Players
The Spartan offense has been nothing short of explosive. Spearheading their attack is Broderick Shull, a standout four-star offensive tackle who’s committed to Auburn. In their semifinal playoff game against Edmond Memorial, Carson Kirby, the star quarterback, dazzled fans as he completed 18-of-22 passes for 171 yards and two touchdowns while also rushing for another 108 yards. Junior Braeden Presley made a significant impact during that game, scoring a pivotal touchdown that helped secure Bixby’s place in the championship showdown.
As the Spartans approach their next big game against a worthy opponent, anticipation is high. The talented Bixby team, fueled by community pride, exceptional facilities, and unwavering determination, is ready to write another glorious chapter in their football story.
