TULSA, Okla. — Two of the state's highest-ranked high school football teams went head-to-head Thursday in the Battle of the Burbs.
The Bixby Spartans faced off against the Owasso Rams on the University of Tulsa's football field — the first time the two teams have played each other since 2011.
This season, the Spartans are in a new division. They made the jump to Class 6A Division I after winning their fourth straight 6A-II State Championship and the school's seventh title in eight years.
The Rams served as the home team for the first leg of the series, coming off an 8-3 finish last season after winning the 6A-I State Championship in 2019 and 2020.
Bixby toppled the Rams 49-14 Thursday night, stretching its winning streak to 50-straight.
The last time the two schools faced off, the Rams won 44-20 before Class 6A officially split the divisions.
