First Round
Bixby vs Deer Creek
Bixby has a really tough matchup in the first round of their tournament. Parker Jennings will do everything he can to keep the Spartans in the game, but it won’t be enough. Elyjah Clark and Deer Creek will be too much for Bixby.
East Central vs Del City
Del City is really down this season on the court. Expect East Central to win this game and in impressive fashion behind 2017 Guard Burke Putnam. East Central rolls Del City in the first round.
Edison vs Putnam City
What Edison team shows up on Thursday? Putnam City is probably the favorite, especially when you consider Edison has already lost three games this season. ?Stefone Richardson and Eli Edwards will have to have big games for them to beat Putnam City. This one is close and the experience of Putnam City takes over late. Putnam City advances to the Semifinals.
Bartlesville vs Stillwater
This could be a very interesting opening round game in Bixby. Bartlesville will lean on Barron Tanner to have a big night. Stillwater is without some of their key players due to injury. Bartlesville finds a way to get past Stillwater in the forth quarter.
Semifinals
Deer Creek vs East Central
East Central will surprise some people by staying close with Deer Creek in this one. Burke Putnam is an excellent all-around guard for East Central. Jonathan Richardson and Elyjah Clark will push Deer Creek past East Central late in the forth. Deer Creek advances to the Championship game.
Putnam City vs Bartlesville
This Class 6A clash is a toss up. Both teams do things well on the floor, but it comes down to who shoots the ball the best? Putnam City squeaks out a victory with excellent shooting from the outside.
Championship
Deer Creek vs Putnam City
Deer Creek and Putnam City would be an interesting final in the Bixby Tournament. Braden Hudson will need to continue to shoot the ball at a high level throughout the tournament. This game goes down to the wire with Putnam City finding a way to win late. Putnam City is our prediction for the Bixby Tournament.
