Carl Albert (13-0) is one of three teams to win 19 state titles, joining Jenks and Ada. The Titans have won three straight 5A championships, and eight over the past nine seasons.
They also come into Saturday’s game riding a current 52-game winning streak, the second-longest such streak in state 11-man history, which started early in the 2022 season. Only Bixby has had a longer winning streak, claiming 58 straight wins from 2018-22.
Bishop McGuinness is seeking to win its first title since claiming back-to-back 4A crowns in 2006-07. The Fighting Irish (12-1) suffered its lone loss in the regular-season finale to Lawton MacArthur, but paid back MacArthur in a semifinal rematch last week, prevailing 61-28.
