Broken Arrow knocked off top-ranked and defending Class 6AI champion Bixby 17-14 on Friday, Oct. 30, ending the Spartans' 24-game win streak and claiming the District 6AI-1 title.

The second-ranked Tigers improved to 9-0 on the season in what KJRH Sports called the biggest win of head coach Travis Hill's tenure at Broken Arrow. The Tigers shut out Bixby across the final three quarters after the Spartans scored twice in the first.

Bixby struck fast. The Spartans took the opening kickoff and marched downfield for a 12-yard touchdown run by Preston Carter, according to Yahoo Sports/SI's live coverage. Tylan Montgomery added a 9-yard scoring run to make it 14-7 with 1:32 left in the first quarter.

Broken Arrow answered Carter's score with a 2-yard touchdown run by tailback Corey Sango Jr. on the Tigers' opening drive, tying the game at 7-7.

The Tigers grabbed the lead in the closing seconds of the half. Running back Octavian Roberson broke free for a 64-yard run that set up a 16-yard touchdown keeper by quarterback Shamar Banner, tying the score at 14, according to Tulsa World photo coverage and the Yahoo Sports/SI game blog. Kicker Everett Bules then drilled a 20-yard field goal with two seconds left in the half to put Broken Arrow ahead 17-14.

Bixby never scored again.

The Spartans lost quarterback Isaiah Butcher IV to a third-quarter injury, according to Tulsa World. Teammates checked on Butcher on the field. No details on the nature or severity of the injury were available.

The Tigers' defense locked down the fourth quarter. Oklahoma State commit Bryson Brown intercepted a Bixby pass on a fourth-and-15 with 1:16 remaining, according to Yahoo Sports/SI.

Banner then sealed the win on a fourth-down keeper that moved the chains with 40 seconds left and Bixby out of timeouts. He finished with 111 rushing yards on 24 carries and a touchdown, adding 31 passing yards, according to Yahoo Sports/SI.

Banner, a senior who transferred to Broken Arrow from out of state in the offseason, was facing Bixby for the first time. Last season, Bixby beat Broken Arrow 49-17 in the 6AI semifinals on its way to a fourth straight state championship.

The loss dropped Bixby to 8-1 and 5-1 in district play. Broken Arrow moved to 9-0 overall and 6-0 in the district, securing the top playoff seed from District 6AI-1.

Broken Arrow's next scheduled game is Nov. 5 at Edmond North.
