By David Seeley Sports Editor,

OKEMAH — The Vian Wolverines won for the third straight week as they picked up a District 2A-5 road victory by the score of 4114 over the host Okemah Panthers.

The Wolverines (4-2 overall, 3-0 in district play) scored twice in the opening quarter. Jacob Brannick. Brannick’s 10-yard touchdown run, followed by Masyn Wright’s two-point conversion run, put Vian ahead 8-0 with 10:21 left in the first period.
