Class 2A Dale (17-2) at Class 3A Millwood (11-5)
When: 7:30 p.m. Tuesday
Anticipate a thrilling matchup between the reigning 2A and 3A state champions, who each stand atop the rankings for their respective classes. Dale enters the contest on a tear, having won 13 of its last 14 games behind the stellar player of OU commit Dayton Forsythe. However, the Falcons’ depth seems to have taken a leap despite losing four-star Jaden Nickens. Expect Xon Williams, Chance Davis, and Isaiah Wilks to continue to make their presence felt for Millwood on Tuesday.
Edmond North (10-2) at Deer Creek (14-3)
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday
Matters went in Edmond North’s favor when these two faced off in the second game of the season. However, things are different this time for Deer Creek, which will play on its home floor. The Antlers head into the matchup, having won seven consecutive games behind the play of backcourt duo Clyde Davis Jr. and Hudson Linsenmeyer. Yet, expect the two-time defending Class 6A champion Huskies to be prepared for the ruckus that awaits them at Deer Creek. Look for Edmond North’s trio of Dylan Warlick, Chianté Tramble and Bryce Potts to be ready to snatch a road victory in a hostile environment.

Class 5A El Reno (11-4) at Class 5A Carl Albert (12-4)
When: 7:30 p.m. Tuesday
Look for El Reno to seek revenge on its district foe after Carl Albert won the season opener by double digits. Junior Carter RomanNose has led El Reno in the scoring department for most of the season, taking home Anadarko Tournament MVP honors earlier this month. On the other hand, Carl Albert has been on a tear, winning nine of its last ten games by an average margin of 27 points. Expect brothers Quincy and Jayden Hopkins to look to get things going for the Titans early to win the season series with El Reno.
Class 6A Southmoore (7-5) at Class 6A Choctaw (11-3)
When: 8 p.m. Tuesday
Choctaw sits atop District 6A-4, but Southmoore could shuffle the standings. The SaberCats have won five of their last seven games behind the stellar play of sophomore guard Kolton Brammer, who has averaged over 20 points through 12 games. The Yellowjackets have dominated the competition in the past weeks, defeating opponents by an average margin of 21 points in their 11 wins. Expect Ja’Mon Valentine and Camden Hyman to continue to lead the way for Choctaw on Tuesday.
‘We want our get back’: Roman Miller continues to shine as Mustang sails past Broken Arrow
Class 5A Mustang at Class 5A Putnam City North
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday
Mustang has been on a tear over the past month, having won both the Shawnee Invitational and the Mustang Holiday Classic. A reoccurring theme in both tournaments was the ascendance of Roman Miller and Tyson Pogi. Miller won both tournament MVPs while averaging 20 points, seven rebounds, and 2.5 steals. It won’t be easy, however. Putnam North has recently found a groove, winning four of its last five games behind the play of Anthony Leonard and Khai Brown.
Key matchup outside the metro
Class 4A Newcastle (10-6) at Class 4A Weatherford (15-1): Tipoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. on Friday. In their only matchup of the year, look for Weatherford’s CJ Nickson to continue lead the Eagles, who are undefeated against 4A competition.

OKLA. — Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond is seeking to join a federal court fight over the Environmental Protection Agency’s move to roll back a key climate change finding that has underpinned vehicle emissions regulations for more than a decade.
Drummond filed a motion to intervene with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on March 9, 2026, backing the Trump administration’s efforts to eliminate what his office called “radical regulations of carbon emissions.”
The dispute centers on the EPA’s decision to rescind the 2009 Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding.
In a Final Rule issued earlier this year, the EPA concluded it lacked statutory authority to establish the Endangerment Finding, which had been used to justify vehicle emission restrictions under the Clean Air Act.
Drummond joined a coalition of 24 attorneys general seeking to support the EPA after “a gaggle of special-interest groups” petitioned the D.C. Circuit to review the Final Rule.
“Thankfully, the Trump Administration is correcting the outrageous overreach that was the hallmark of the Obama-Biden Administration,” Drummond said. “Oklahoma’s energy industry, and that of our nation, should not be hobbled by unnecessary regulations born from a radical climate agenda. A panoply of would-be vehicle emission standards would be disastrous for a robust oil and gas industry, adversely impact our economy, hurt the reliability of our electrical grids and undermine national security.”
Drummond’s office said that since taking office he has filed more than 25 legal actions opposing environmental regulations, including tailpipe emission standards and efforts aimed at eliminating gas-powered vehicles.
In addition to Oklahoma, the states joining the motion to intervene are Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming.

The 2026 college football season is still months away from kicking off, but coaches are already hitting the College football Recruiting trail for players in the class of 2027. Oklahoma has already landed some talented players.

Now, they have added another solid player, according to Hayes Fawcett of On3.
Athlete Greydon Howell, rated as a four-star recruit by Rivals, has committed to Oklahoma. Howell is from Broken Bow, Oklahoma, and chose to go to the Sooners over Oklahoma State, Miami, Penn State, Stanford, and Arkansas. He visited Oklahoma over the weekend, attending a recruiting event.
The 4-star recruit has been a dominant force at his high school in the sports landscape. He plays football, basketball, baseball, and track. This past season, he played quarterback for his team, passing for 2,817 yards with 27 scores, while adding 1,514 yards and 20 touchdowns on the ground. He is expected to play wide receiver for the Sooners.
Rivals ranks him as the 13th best athlete in the nation, and 425th overall. Still, other ranking services have him lower. 247Sports has Howell ranked as a three-star player and the 25th best athlete in the nation.

Regardless, it is another major signing for Brent Venables and the Sooners. They have 19 commitments so far, and have the number one-ranked class for 2027 according to 247Sports. They have been great at keeping in-state guys at Oklahoma. Kaeden Penny is the top player in the state for the class of 2027, and he is going to Oklahoma. Cooper Hackett is ranked third in the state and is also a future Sooner.
The Sooners open their 2026 campaign on September 5 against Utep.
