CUSHING — The Sallisaw Black Diamonds did something that hasn’t been done since Nov. 13, 2020 — win a Class 4A playoff game.

The Black Diamonds stunned the Cushing Tigers 35-28 in overtime in Friday night’s Class 4A opening-round playoff game. The Black Diamonds (7-4) will hit the road once more to take on the Blanchard Lions at 7 p.m. Friday as the Lions roared past the Cache Bulldogs 27-0 in their opening-round playoff game Friday night in Blanchard.

The Tigers end the season at 8-3.

Senior quarterback Brock Streun threw for 167 yards and two touchdowns — one to Cooper Cox and the other to Broque Oft — while the senior QB rushed for 112 yards and two more TDs.

Sallisaw’s other touchdown came on the legs of senior running back Cole Stephens, who rushed for 119 yards and a TD. Brian Castor hit all five extra points.

The Black Diamonds were the beneficiary of some clock mismanagement by the Tigers as they allowed enough time in the fourth quarter to drive for the game-tying score to force overtime, setting up the come-from-behind victory in the extra session.

The Sallisaw defense recorded two quarterback sacks and an interception.

If the Black Diamonds knock off the Lions next Friday night, Sallisaw will be in the Class 4A state semifinals, where they could get a rematch with the Poteau Pirates.
