Oklahoma high school football fans have spoken. After a poll of KOCO 5 viewers, the Week 7 Game of the Week will feature the Bishop McGuinness Fighting Irish, now 5‑1, taking on the Tulsa Memorial Titans, who are 0‑6.
How the vote was decided
KOCO 5 invited its audience to choose between two matchups: Dickson at Crossings Christian versus the Tulsa Memorial‑Bishop McGuinness game. Voters overwhelmingly selected the latter, giving the Bishop McGuinness‑Tulsa Memorial contest the honor of being highlighted as the week’s marquee high school football showdown.
Game details
The game is scheduled for Friday evening, with kickoff set for 7 p.m. at Bishop McGuinness’s home field. KOCO 5 will provide live coverage during its morning newscasts, and the station’s 10 p.m. broadcast will feature highlights and a recap of the action.
What’s at stake
For Bishop McGuinness, the game offers a chance to improve an already strong record and solidify a playoff position. The Fighting Irish have shown resilience this season, and a win would further cement their status as a top contender in the district.
Tulsa Memorial, despite a winless start, hopes to use the spotlight to spark a turnaround. The Titans will look to their coaching staff and senior leaders to inspire a comeback and gain confidence for the remainder of the season.
Community involvement
The Game of the Week promotion highlights the deep community ties that high school football enjoys across Oklahoma. Local families, alumni, and supporters are encouraged to attend the game, cheer on the athletes, and celebrate the spirit of competition that unites towns and cities throughout the state.
