YUKON, Okla. (AP) — Tucker Pawley ran for four touchdowns to help Bixby defeat Lawton 39-31 in the Class 6A-II final Friday night at Yukon High School.

It was Bixby's third consecutive state title, and Tanner Griffin has been the starting quarterback in all three wins.

Lawton led 19-7 in the first quarter of 2014 championship game rematch, with help from an 11-yard touchdown pass from Zack Hanna to Jayquan Lincoln and a 34-yard interception return for a score by Lincoln.

Bixby finally took the lead when Nic Swanson caught a 35-yard touchdown pass from Griffin to give his team a 29-25 advantage in the third quarter.

Lawton cut its deficit to 36-31 in the fourth quarter, but Jason Campbell kicked a 35-yard field goal late in the period to provide a cushion.

OKLAHOMA CLASS 6A-1 FINAL

Tulsa Union tops Norman North 57-43 for ninth state title

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Tulsa University commitment Shamari Brooks ran for three touchdowns, and Tulsa Union defeated Norman North 57-43 Friday night in the Class 6A-1 title game for its ninth state title and first since 2011.

C.J. Moore caught touchdown passes of 11, 8 and 39 yards from Grady Davenport for Union. The Redskins led 29-7 at halftime and controlled most of the game at the University of Tulsa.

Norman North's Brandon Marquardt threw four touchdown passes, including scoring strikes of 16 and 28 yards to Drake Stoops, son of Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops. Collin Klein caught a 23-yard touchdown pass from Marquardt and Charlie Kolar caught a 35-yarder.

Norman North was unbeaten and ranked No. 1, and defeated Union 30-27 on Oct. 14 in Norman earlier in the season.

Either Union or Jenks has won the past 21 state titles.
