Bixby's defense and special teams scored three touchdowns as the top-ranked Spartans shut out Norman North 58-0 in a District 6AI-1 game Oct. 15.

The reigning Class 6AI champions improved to 7-0 overall and 4-0 in district play, extending their win streak to 23 games, the Tulsa World reported. Bixby led 44-0 at halftime.

The rout started on the first snap. Norman North quarterback Nash Henry threw a screen pass that Bixby's Connor Arant intercepted. Jack Gill then punched in a 2-yard touchdown run to open the scoring.

Henry was intercepted two more times before halftime.

Fourteen-year-old freshman Maverick Owens returned a punt 54 yards for a touchdown, according to the Tulsa World's photo coverage. Kaiden Flowers added a 37-yard interception return for a score, and Nathan Hobbs returned a fumble 4 yards for another defensive touchdown.

Isaiah Butcher and Preston Carter each scored rushing touchdowns before the break. In the second half, BJ Jones added a 14-yard touchdown run and Miller Ousley broke free for a 49-yarder.

Head coach Loren Montgomery's staff used four quarterbacks in the blowout. The Spartans are now 105-4 since 2018 as they chase a ninth consecutive state championship and fifth straight 6AI title, according to Tulsa World columnist Bill Haisten.

Norman North, ranked fifth in Class 6AI entering the game, fell to 5-2 overall and 2-2 in district play. The Timberwolves had not been shut out since a 37-0 loss at Moore in 2018.

Montgomery is in his 17th season leading Bixby alongside offensive coordinator Tyler Schneider and defensive coordinator Rodney Flowers. The three coaches have been together in the program since 2012, according to the Tulsa World.

Bixby entered the game ranked No. 1 in Sports Illustrated's Oklahoma state poll and No. 5 in the USA TODAY Sports Southwest region rankings.

The Spartans travel to Edmond North next. Second-ranked Broken Arrow visits Bixby on Oct. 30.
