In a long-anticipated rivalry clash under the Friday night lights, the Putnam City Pirates left no doubt about who runs the west side of Oklahoma City, rolling past the Putnam City North Panthers with a commanding 56-14 victory. Despite an early spark from the Panthers, who opened the scoring with an impressive touchdown that electrified the home crowd, it was all Pirates from that point on. Putnam City High responded with accurate passing to receiving in the endzone to light the spark.

The Pirates’ quarterback was in full command, spreading the ball to multiple receivers and racking up touchdown passes with accuracy. The Putnam City offense looked comfortable and the wideouts consistently found separation, capitalizing on breakdowns in the Panthers’ secondary. Defensively, Putnam City was just as dominant. After the early touchdown by PC North, the Pirates tightened the screws, forcing multiple turnovers and shutting down the run game. Big hits and aggressive pass rushes kept the Panthers off balance for most of the night. With the win, the Pirates not only take bragging rights in this storied crosstown matchup of the Battle of the Expressway but also gain momentum heading deeper into the season.
