The Muskogee Roughers are STATE CHAMPS!!!!
In a thrilling game at Richison Stadium in Edmond, the Roughers stopped a Stillwater two-point conversion try with just seconds remaining to play to hold on to a 28-26 win over the Pioneers, avenging two straight losses to Stillwater and, more importantly, capturing the Class 6AII football championship.
