Hominy-Tonkawa: This game was everything state-wide high school football enthusiasts thought it would be. The only thing wrong from Tonkawans’ point of view was the outcome. The final score— Hominy 27, Tonkawa 21. Sure, some of the calls were questionable. But that goes for both sides. These two teams were about as evenly matched as they could be.

But the Bucs came roaring back.Bristow broke loose on a 54 yard run just a minute later to put the Bucs back on top 14-7. That would be the last time Tonkawa would lead.
