UPDATE:  THE CUSHING TIGERS HAVE JUST DEFEATED THE NUMBER ONE STATE 4A RANKED DOUGLASS TROJANS!  16 TO 7 FINAL SCORE!  

Cushing Fans stand in support for the last minutes of this historic game at O’Dell Field as the Trojans fail their attempt to score. 

Orginal story:

(Cushing, Okla) – The Cushing Tigers enter the sixth week of the season in need of a win, not just to turn around a three game losing skid, but also because it will take four wins in district play to qualify for a playoff berth, and there are only five games left.

The task won’t be any easier for the Tigers with the top ranked team in 4A in town for a 7:30 clash at Faye O’Dell Field.

The Trojans are not only ranked number one,  they are the defending state champions, who many have already penciled in for a repeat.

Cushing, now 2-3 on the season, lost a heart breaker to Glenpool a week ago,  a contest that saw Cushing going for the win on the road with a two point try late in the game that would have put the Tigers up by a point.  That two point try failed,  an end around that ended up a yard short.
