Last weekend, Bixby High School, after reaching the Rugby Oklahoma boys HS finals for six straight years, ended its streak of being runner-up by defeating Jenks in a thriller.
Jenks was led by flyhalf Cooper Gibson and center Jacob Shelly, while their opposite numbers for Bixby, Drake Poth and Brody Sartin, were also excellent. Flanker Pedro Riversa had a massive impact for Bixby, as well.
Bixby stormed back with 14 minutes left to take a 17-14 lead, with Sartin scoring a key try late in the game. Poth's goalkikcing was huge, too, as he converted both Bixby tries and added a penalty.
Bixby held on

Meanwhile, the Bixby girls team looked to garner the Boys-Girls double, but couldn't quite do it as Broken Arrow, the 2018 NIT D2 champions, shut out Bixby 62-0. Under coach Quan Hoang, Broken Arrow has a very strong outfit this year.
