Two Okmulgee County teams will battle tough opponents this week in search of remaining perfect in 2018.

Two other county gridiron squads will go into Week 2 searching for their first win of the 2018 campaign.

One county team will seek its second win of the season, while the sixth, and final, county squad will enjoy a week off this week.

The Morris Eagles and Dewar Dragons began their 2018 seasons last Friday with victories and will face tough opponents this week in their search to stay unbeaten. The Eagles will begin a 4-game homestand tonight (Friday), hosting the NOAH Jaguars in their second non-district game of 2018. The Dragons were also at home in Week 2, hosting the Caddo Bruins in non-district contest that took place Thursday night at Dr. Ted Lewis Stadium.

For the Okmulgee Bulldogs and Henryetta Golden Knights, this week's regular-season games will be another chance for the county squads to get into the win column for the first time in 2018 after suffering season-opening losses last week to Beggs and Morris, respectively. The Bulldogs will open the home portion of their regular-season schedule tonight (Friday) in a non-district game against the Tulsa Rogers Ropers, while the Knights will take to the road for the first time in 2018, traveling to Warner for a non-district showdown with the Warner Eagles.

The Wilson Tigers will look to get back in the win column this week after suffering a shutout loss last Friday against Wesleyan Christian. The Tigers' search for Win No. 2 in 2018 will come tonight (Friday) when the Wilson squad hosts the Watts Engineers in a non-district battle.

The Beggs Golden Demons will have Week 2 off due to participating in 'Zero Week' two weeks ago. The Demons will use the Off Week to get better prepared for next Friday's road non-district battle at Arkansas' Shiloh Christian.

Here is how the county teams fared in Week 1:

• Beggs defeated Okmulgee 47-0 to stay perfect at 2-0. Okmulgee begins 2018 at 0-1.

• Morris notched a 40-8 win over Henryetta in the 2018 season opener for both teams.

• Dewar outlasted Strother 38-36 to begin 2018 in the win column.

• Wilson evened its record at 1-1 with a 46-0 loss to Wesleyan Christian.

Below are the offensive and defensive keys to the game for the five Okmulgee County teams that are competing in Week 2.

Henryetta at Warner

Henryetta Offensive Keys

The main goal for the Knights this week will be to eliminate turnovers and penalties. The Henryetta offense suffered six turnovers last week against Morris, while the HHS team was penalized 16 times for 115 yards. The Knights will also need to find a way to move the ball down the field effectively this week. Last week, the Henryetta offense was held to 196 yards of total offense on 56 plays - an average of 3.5 yards per play. The Knights will need to have a more productive night of running the football this week and not be forced to rely heavily on the pass game. The offensive line will need to open up lanes for the run game, while providing QB Jakob White time in the pocket to locate a receiver downfield when a pass play is called.

Henryetta Defensive Keys

Defensively, this week, the Knights will need to control the line of scrimmage. In last week's loss to Morris, the Henryetta defense gave up a total of 334 yards on 48 plays - an average of 7.0 yards per play. The Knights will also need to contain the Warner run game at the line of scrimmage this week and not give up long run plays like in last week's opener against Morris. The Henryetta defense will also need to create turnovers and force lots of punting situations that get the Warner offense off the field as much as possible.

Dewar vs Caddo (Thursday)

Dewar Offensive Keys

The Dewar offense will need to continue to have production running and throwing the football this week. In last week's win over Strother, the Dragons totaled 605 yards on offense with 363 coming on the ground. The Dragons will need another productive night from sophomore QB Joey Fowler, who accounted for almost 500 of the 605 yards of total offense last week. The one main focus for the Dewar offense this week will be to eliminate penalties and turnovers that take away scoring chances. The Dragons had a long TD pass erased due to a penalty last week. The Dewar offense cannot afford to have any possessions this week end without points being put up on the scoreboard by a Dragon player. The offensive line will need to do a better job blocking upfront and allow the running game to be more productive this week.

Dewar Defensive Keys

The main focus for the Dewar defense this week will be to contain Strother QB Jaxon Douthit. Douthit is an athletic signal caller that can throw the football effectively. The sophomore quarterback is also not afraid to tuck the football to his side and run for positive yardage. The defensive line of the Dragons will need to find ways to get into the backfield and keep Douthit from executing pass plays downfield to his receivers, forcing errant passes that result in incompletions or turnovers. The Dewar defense will also need to force the Yellowjackets to become one-dimensional and make Strother run the ball, which will allow the Dewar defensive line and linebackers the opportunity to make tackles at the line of scrimmage or in the backfield and disrupt the Yellowjackets' offensive gameplan. The Dragons will also need to force punting situations and create turnovers that get the ball back into the hands of the high-powered Dewar offense as much as possible.

Wilson vs Watts

Wilson Offensive Keys

The Tigers need to get back to moving the football down the field this week. Last week, the Wilson offense conducted a total of 22 plays offensively, totaling 100 yards. If the Tigers are to earn their second win of the season, they will need to be productive running the football the ball this week, as well as mixing in a few passes to keep the Watts defense on their toes throughout the game. The Wilson offense will also need to avoid turning the ball over this week, as the Tigers lost a total of four fumbles in last week's loss to Wesleyan Christian. The Tigers will also need to continue to avoid costly penalties that take away scoring opportunities this week if they are to get back to their winning ways. The Tigers will also need to have a productive night of running the football by tailback Michael McKinney with the offensive line providing QB Cobey Sellers time in the pocket to find wide-open receivers such as McKinney, out of the backfield, and wideouts Josiah Sellers and Malik Thompson, down field.

Wilson Defensive Keys

The main focus for the Wilson defense this week will be to getting off the field on third downs. The Tigers will need to avoid having Watts convert on third-down situations, forcing punting situations that get the ball back into the hands of the Wilson offense. The Wilson defense will also need to find a way to force the Watts offense to turn the ball over, while also finding ways to stop the Engineer running backs at the line of scrimmage. The Tigers will also need to get into the backfield and disrupt the passing rhythm of the Watts quarterback, forcing errant passes that result in incomplete passes or interceptions and bringing the signal caller down behind the line of scrimmage for quarterback sacks.

Okmulgee vs Tulsa Rogers

Okmulgee Offensive Keys

The gameplan for the Bulldogs on offense this week will be to have a better performance by their offensive line. In last week's loss to Beggs, the Okmulgee O-Line had trouble keeping the Beggs defenders out of the backfield. If the offensive line can find a way to keep Rogers' defensive players out of the backfield this week, it could very well lead to the Bulldogs having a productive game of running the football, as the Okmulgee run game was limited to 45 yards on 26 carries. The Okmulgee passing game will also need to be a little more efficient this week, as the Bulldogs were 5 of 25 passing for 54 yards and threw two interceptions. Another key goal for the Okmulgee offense this week will be to avoid costly turnovers and penalties that take away scoring opportunities.

Okmulgee Defensive Keys

The Okmulgee defense will need to do a better job of tackling ballcarriers this week. The Bulldogs cannot allow Rogers the opportunity to break loose of tackle attempts at the line of scrimmage or backfield. The Okmulgee defense will need to force several 3-and-Out situations that result in the Okmulgee offense getting back on the field as quickly as possible. The Bulldogs will also need to find a way create turnovers this week, while containing the Rogers run game, forcing the Ropers to throw the ball more than they are accustoming to doing, resulting in incomplete passes or turnovers. The Okmulgee secondary cannot allow the Rogers receivers to make catches in open space this week, as Beggs was able to do at times last week.

Morris vs NOAH

Morris Offensive Keys

The Eagles will need to do a better job of taking care of the football this week. In last week's win over Henryetta, the only downside to the onesided victory was the three turnovers the Morris offense had against the Knights. Last week, sophomore tailback Jeremiah Ramos had a tremendous night of running the football, scoring five of the six Morris touchdowns. The Eagles will need another stellar night of running the football from Ramos this week if they are to have any chance of starting the season with a spotless 2-0 record. The Morris offensive line will need to continue to be productive upfront and not allow the NOAH defenders to get into the backfield, opening up running lanes for Ramos and the other running backs, as well as giving QB Kolby Burgess time in the pocket to find an open receiver downfield. The Eagles will also need to find a way to cut down on costly penalties this week after being flagged 15 times in last week's win over Henryetta.

Morris Defensive Keys

The main focus for the Morris defense this week will be to contain NOAH QB Jarrod Barnett. Barnett is a dual threat at the quarterback position, as the senior signal caller can throw the football effectively and also has the ability to tuck the ball and run for positive yardage if not contained in the backfield. The Morris defenders will need to be able to get into the backfield this week and disrupt the rhythm of Barnett, not allowing the Jaguar QB the time in the pocket to find an open receiver and forcing errant passes that result in either incomplete passes or turnovers. The Eagles will also need to force the Jaguars into several punting sitiuations this week if they are to have any chance of keeping their perfect season intact. The Morris defense will need to find a way to make the Jaguars run the football a lot this week and make sure to wrap up the ballcarrier at the point of impact, not allowing lengthy gains.
