Putnam City North vs. Owasso / 8 p.m. @ Catoosa
Caden Fry, Trent Ellison Trent Ellison 6'3" | CG Owasso | 2021 State OK and the Rams will play as the pseudo-home team Friday night in Catoosa against the stiff P.C.

The scoring attack from Chase Martin will be a great task for the Redskins’ defenders.
