Greenwood is going for its third straight title, and its 13th since winning its first-ever crown in 2000. The Bulldogs have won three straight two other times during that span, turning the trick from 2005-07 and again from 2010-12.
The Bulldogs (12-0) bring a high-powered offense into Saturday’s championship game, led by senior quarterback Kane Archer, who recently signed with the University of Utah.
Archer, who has played for the Bulldogs since his freshman season, guided them to titles each of the past two years and is also the first quarterback in state history to pass for 10,000-plus yards and rush for at least 2,500 yards, along with being the first to pass for at least 100 touchdowns and rush for at least 50 TDs. He also is 38-0 in his career as a starting quarterback.
The Bulldogs face their 6A-West conference rival for the title for the second straight season. Shiloh Christian (10-2) lost to Greenwood, 35-24, on Sept. 26. The Saints’ other loss was to Oklahoma school Lincoln Christian, which is playing for the Class 3A championship next week.
On Saturday, the Saints are attempting to win their first state title since 2020. They have won eight championships, dating back to 1998.
