Our Blanchard Lions Football team reminds us of the Lions of one year ago. Just as in the 2017 season, the Lions face a formidable foe - the undefeated and second ranked Poteau Pirates... at Poteau, Oklahoma. One year ago, this week, for the second round of the state playoffs - a good, but not stellar Blanchard Lions football squad met the undefeated top-ranked Wagoner Bulldogs. Wagoner had won 47 straight games and three consecutive state titles, before facing Blanchard in that now infamous showdown. The Lions won the hard-fought battle 23 to 14 on that November night. The previous practice week, the Blanchard coaching staff reminded our players that the unranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish had broken a 47 game winning streak by defeating the powerful O.U. Sooners - 60 years before. The Lions were not intimidated by the stellar record of Wagoner, and proceeded to physically beat the Bulldogs on that night one year ago. The Lions were prepared to win, and played each play as if it was their last.
Many high school football fans believe the Blanchard Lions have better players in key positions than they did one year ago. It is still unknown, however, if our Lions have the heart of that 2017 team. Only on Friday night, November 16, 2018, can that question be answered for sure - Are the Blanchard Lions as capable of slewing a giant, just as Notre Dame did on November 16, 1957?
We'll see...
