    BRUCE IN THE RECORD BOOK: Hulbert tailback sets state mark

    |  Ben Johnson

    Jacob Bruce arrived at preseason camp in 2015, mostly eager to learn and admittedly oblivious.
    “As a freshman, I was young and didn’t know what to do,” the Hulbert running back said. “The coaches then just said I was a fast kid and to use my speed. They motivated me, and then I stuck with that I needed to do.”
    Bruce expanded on those lessons four years ago and it all culminated in a record-setting night on Friday. Bruce scored on a 64-yard touchdown run in the third quarter against Allen, and at the same time passed Luther’s Larry Dupree on the state’s all-time rushing yardage list.
    “There are so many people to give credit to, including my family for always supporting me and always telling me I can do anything I put my mind to,” Bruce said. “Then my former coach (Rusty Harris) for teaching me what I need to know to become a running back, and now Coach (Joe) Brown for never giving up on me and pushing me to become better.”
    Bruce finished with 347 yards and six touchdowns in Hulbert’s 50-19 victory over Allen, and he currently sits with 8,496 yards to his credit.

    “This season has been amazing,” Bruce said. “We have had our ups and downs, but we came out on top and now that we have advanced to the second round, we are looking to keep succeeding this season and take the gold ball.”
    It’s remarkable considering that before Bruce’s arrival, Hulbert had been to the playoffs once since the turn of the century. Now the Riders will be atop the record books for the foreseeable future.
    “The people in the community have been waiting,” Bruce said, “for a good team to come through Hulbert and make a statement.”
    And they have.
    But of course Bruce couldn’t have reached his lofty achievement without the help of the guys up front. Bruce said he couldn’t help but thank his offensive line -- Wyatt Keener, Justin Carey, Larrett Daniels, Braxton Ellis, Wyatt Keener and Preston Welch -- over and over.
    “I’m close with everyone on the team, and it was a very special moment in my life,” Bruce said. “And I got to spend it with them, and I am thankful to have such great teammates like them.”

    SKORDLE SAMPLER - Week 3 (2020)

    |  Michael Swisher

    By John Hardaway - YEAH I LIKE BBQ, SO WHAT

    Someplace I really like to eat AND someplace to eat if you’re going to the Game of the Week


    Texlahoma BBQ

    121 E. Waterloo Road, Suite 8, Edmond, OK 


    “Hey look!... it’s another BBQ place for the blog” ….. Absolutely it’s another BBQ place and there will probably be more in the future, so you might as well just settle in.


    Texlahoma is one of the best BBQ joints in the entire OKC metro area AND the state of Oklahoma. 


    Located in far North Edmond, just 20 minutes from Cashion, it stakes a well-deserved claim as one of the best! 


    Why, you might ask? 


    Well, simply put, they are producing some the highest quality cuts of sliced brisket you can get in our state. 


    As I have said before, sliced brisket is the separator from good to great BBQ places and they are doing it right at Texlahoma.


    The other smoked meats are really solid as well as I’m a big fan of the turkey and jalapeńo sausage. 


    My go-to menu item is the signature “D.H Sandwich” that you see pictured below.



    It’s absolutely incredible and is basically a sampler platter on a bun: Sliced brisket, pulled pork and smoked sausage garnished with a rib on top, or what many of my friends would call a rib “kicker.” 


    As for a side, there is only one option, one as Oklahoman as it comes, fried okra. 


    I will say this without hesitation and I think many of my friends, and fans of Texlahoma would agree, they have THE BEST Fried Okra in Oklahoma.


    I can’t explain it and I don’t know how or why, but it is… so just trust me.


    The mac and cheese is pretty darn good as well. 


    So if you looking for a great BBQ spot in the north OKC metro area or heading to Cashion for the GOTW, I would highly suggest Texlahoma. 


    I would encourage a follow of their Facebook page or even call ahead because hours can vary. 


    They also have an exceptional food truck, so if you see it parked, you should pull in and take advantage of that gift placed right at your lap. 


    Something to cook at your house this weekend- Spatchcock Chicken


    Funny name, super easy and great way to grill/smoke chicken! 


    I did some spatchcock chickens several times during the extended COVID spring/summer break and each time I thought this method was even easier and better than the previous time. 


    This can be done on any smoker/grill (gas or charcoal) and it really produces a highly favorable and juicy whole chicken that can feed the whole family, or maybe just 1-2 highly motivated eaters (what?).
