It is finally time for postseason play in Oklahoma high school football.
One of the state’s legendary programs will be part of the opening night of playoff action. Tulsa Union is going to be at home to take on Edmond Memorial in the opening round of the Class 6AI playoffs at Union-Tuttle Stadium.
The Redhawks have rebounded from a rough start, when they dropped their first four ballgames. But they proceeded to reel off five straight wins before falling in last week’s regular-season finale to Owasso, which dropped Union to the No. 3 playoff seed out of 6AI-2.
Edmond Memorial comes in at 4-6 overall and finished District 6AI-1 play at 2-5. The Bulldogs lost their first three district games before winning two of their next three games, beating Southmoore and Westmoore to get the No. 6 playoff seed out of the district.
Friday’s winner will advance to next week’s 6AI quarterfinals and take on Bixby, the No. 2 seed from 6AI-1.
