Bixby And Guthrie To Meet In Playoffs Again
Saturday, November 21, 2009

For the fourth time in five seasons, Bixby and Guthrie will meet in the Class 5A playoffs.

Bixby went to Shawnee and rallied to beat the previously unbeaten Wolves 28-21 Friday night.

Trailing 14-0 after the first quarter, Bixby used a pair of rushing touchdowns from DeWitt Jennings and touchdown pass from Kevin Lamb to Austin White to tie the game at 2-21 heading to the fourth quarter.

Then, a halfback option pass from Jennings to Donovan Wilson with just under four minutes to play gave the Spartans (8-4) the victory.

Guthrie (8-4) also had to rally to make the semifinals. The Blue Jays trailed 24-18 before a 55-yard touchdown pass from Bryan Dutton to Corbin Crockett in the fourth quarter lifted the team to a 25-24 win.

The difference in the game? A second quarter two-point conversion run way back in the first quarter.

Guthrie has won two of the three meetings against Bixby, including the 5A championship game, 16-3.

The time and place for the semifinal game have yet to be announced.
