On a day when one Oklahoma quarterback made it known he was entering the transfer portal, a future Sooners quarterback put on a show in the Texas High School state quarterfinals.
[autotag]Jackson Arnold[/autotag] was absolutely dominant in Denton Guyer’s 45-21 win over Southlake Carroll. Guyer built a 21-7 lead in the first quarter and was up 31-14 at halftime. Arnold and the offense continued to put points on the board, but it was Oklahoma target Peyton Bowen and the defense that held the Dragons to seven second-half points to secure the win.
In the win, Arnold threw for 303 yards and two touchdowns and added 149 yards and four rushing touchdowns.
After coming up short in the state championship a year ago, Jackson Arnold and Guyer have been on a mission in the 6A-2 state tournament. The Wildcats are outscoring their opponents by an average margin of 24.5 points per game. Their closest game during their playoff run was an 18-point win over Byron Nelson a week ago, and they’re averaging 52.5 points per game in the playoffs.
It’s an incredible run that has a chance to end with Guyer as state champs. Next up is 12-2 DeSoto, which lost to St. Francis Academy in Baltimore and 13-0 Duncanville.
Social media was abuzz with Jackson Arnold’s incredible performance, and here are some of the best reactions.
