Seiling vs Weleetka: Trilogy for the B-II Title

Seiling and Weleetka meet at noon Thursday at Chad Richison Stadium in Edmond for the Class B-II state championship, the third straight postseason showdown between two programs that have defined the bracket the last two years.

Seiling enters 11–2 on paper, though both losses were administrative forfeits. On the field, the Wildcats are a perfect 13–0 with a 662–152 scoring margin — 50.9 points per game on offense and 11.7 allowed. They’ve posted six shutouts, hit 50 or more in ten games, and have outscored playoff opponents 150–0 behind a defense that’s tightened to under nine points a night since mid-season.

Weleetka arrives 13–0 and defending its 2024 B-II crown with nearly identical firepower. The Outlaws have racked up 670 points while allowing just 13751.5 per game scored, 10.5 allowed — and their postseason path through Shattuck, Waukomis and Okeene shows the same multi-phase balance they used to win gold last December.

Early momentum could hinge on which style dictates the tempo. Seiling’s downhill identity starts with senior quarterback Wyatt Tillery, who ran for 137 yards and four touchdowns in last week’s semifinal, while Rush Hunt adds three-phase toughness and explosive vision in space. With 6-foot-7 junior Sam Secrest stressing the perimeter as both a blocker and target, the Wildcats force eight-man defenses to defend every inch of width.

Weleetka counters with experience and one of the state’s most productive tandems. Quarterback Isaiah Drake has completed 63.6% of his passes with 37 touchdowns this season while adding 21 scores on the ground. Senior receiver Bryant Sites has delivered 150 receiving yards per game with 25 receiving touchdowns and 26 total scores, plus impact snaps on defense. Freshman Jakory Bagby adds another burst of athleticism to a group that rarely wastes possessions.

The series sits at one win apiece — Seiling’s 52–6 quarterfinal rout in 2023, Weleetka’s 54–12 championship statement in 2024 — making Thursday the long-awaited rubber match. It’s the Wildcats’ physical tempo and sustained drives against the Outlaws’ quick-strike ability and veteran poise in big moments.

If Seiling controls the clock and finishes red-zone chances, they can reverse last year’s result. If Weleetka speeds the game up and hits explosives early, their seniors have already shown they can take over championship Thursday. The trilogy ends at noon in Edmond.
