WAGONER — Ineffective and punchless are two words that describe Wagoner’s offense in the Class 4A quarterfinal playoff game against Oklahoma City Douglass at W.L. Odom Field on Friday night.

Either by their own hand or the Trojans’ defense, the Bulldogs had their worst showing of the season at the wrong time in losing 14-0

Prince McJunkins, the Bulldogs’ junior quarterback, struggled all night. He had 17 carries for minus-15 yards while completing only 6 of 19 passes for 40 yards. He struggled with his emotions after the game, embracing his teammates in a tearful locker room.

“I didn’t play to the best of my abilities,” he said. “I believe I hurt the team and our chances to win the game and hopefully go to the next round. We had practiced on everything they were doing. I wasn’t able to hold up my end of the bargain for the team. I just brought us down.”

Wagoner coach Dale Condict consoled McJunkins and the rest of his players in the locker room as the Bulldogs, the fourth place team from District 4A-4, end the season at 8-4.

As a team, the Bulldogs had just seven yards rushing and 47 yards total offense.

“You’ve got to make plays, and we didn’t have anybody make a play when we needed them to,” Condict said. “We knew it would be hard to move the football, but I didn’t think it would be that hard.”

Wagoner had a chance to get on the scoreboard.

With 6:31 left in a scoreless third quarter, a ball sailed over the head of Douglass punter Corey Mitchell. He chased it down, appeared to step in the end zone and then threw it out. After an intentional grounding penalty on Douglass, the Bulldogs had the ball at the Trojan 2 yard line.

After an illegal motion penalty, two running plays and an incomplete pass, Wagoner was at the Douglass 8. Josh Hewitt, who had made 4 of 6 field goals this season including a long of 33 yards, missed wide left on a 25-yard attempt with 5:20 left in the period.

“All we need is two yards to take the lead,” Condict said. “At that point, I think we’ve got enough momentum to finish the game off with a win. It’s tough.”

That would be as close as the Bulldogs, ranked No. 8 in the final Associated Press rankings, would get to scoring or the end zone.

Douglass, the third place team from 4A-1 and 9-3, had some tough running by Kevin Forbes and Quinton Neil. Forbes led the Trojans with 132 yards on 22 carries and both touchdowns. He scored both in the fourth quarter on runs of six yards with 9:24 left and 24 yards with 2:40 remaining. He added the two-point conversion after his second TD. Neil added 71 yards on 18 carries.

Down 14-0, Wagoner tried to breathe life into its team when Jordan Robinson returned a kickoff 43 yards to the Douglass 34 after the Trojans’ second touchdown.

McJunkins had two completions for 17 yards and a 17-yard run, but then he lost five yards on a sack and had a snap sail over his head for a 17-yard loss to close out the game and Wagoner’s season.

Douglass plays Weatherford in the semifinals next week.
