Sallisaw 50, Okmulgee 7
Sallisaw built a 37-7 lead by halftime and went to post a 50-7 victory over Okmulgee on Friday night at Perry F. Lattimore Stadium.
Kyle Stewart ran for over 100 yards and three touchdowns in the first half, while quarterback Matt Oberste was a perfect 8-for-8 with a TD pass as Sallisaw put away the visitors before the break.
With the win, Sallisaw closed the regular season at 6-4 overall and 5-2 in District 4A-4. Hilldale and Stilwell both won on Friday night to match the Diamonds' league record, but Sallisaw's point margin of 55 was enough to clinch second place and a home playoff game on Friday in the first round of the playoffs.
