The OSSAA announced on Tuesday that Victory Christian must forfeit five of its six wins from this season, one of which was a Week 6 game at Roland.
The one victory that the Conquerors get to keep is last week's 41-12 win over Hugo, which also benefits the Rangers. The developments leave Hugo and Roland tied for fourth place in the District 3A-4 standings with identical 3-3 league marks.
That sets up an important game on Friday night at Ranger Stadium, where Roland will host Hugo in a fight for the last playoff spot. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.
Hugo is 5-4 overall and the Buffaloes' three district losses have come against three of the top teams in the league: Morris (19-0), Eufaula (42-21) and Victory Christian. Hugo owns wins against Valliant, Idabel, Metro Christian, Muldrow and Checotah.
Among the key players for Hugo are the speedy Locke brothers. Derrick Locke is the quarterback for the Buffaloes while Delvonsha Locke has already gained over 1,000 yards this season at tailback.
Roland is coming off a 22-8 loss at Morris. The Eagles' Jamel Rucker scored on runs of six and 19 yards to give Morris a 15-0 lead entering the fourth period and Morris added another TD in the fourth period to make it 22-0.
Ranger tailback Matt Goodson got Roland on the scoreboard late in the game, running for a two-yard touchdown and also running for the two-point conversion.
