One Wagoner Bulldog said it best: “I’m glad Chochee Watson is on OUR team!” If you are a Bulldog fan, you agree. Watson is the top photo on the 2019 Football Preview cover and should see plenty of action this fall.

Quarterback Sawyer Jones is the second photo and is ready to guide the team again. The last photo is of cheerleaders Rachael Johnson and Taizja Tottress. The cheerleaders have been putting in the time and effort for the coming school year.

Bulldogs have shot to be good again in Class 4A

T

he gold standard to judge high school football teams in Oklahoma is, of course, the gold State championship

trophy.

However, another season measuring rod of success is playing during Thanksgiving week in November.

“If you’re still practicing during Thanksgiving, you’ve had a successful season,” one longtime Oklahoma high school once said back in the 1980s.

Today, that thought continues to be relevant.

The Wagoner Bulldogs have a slightly unique take on the “playing during Thanksgiving” example.

Wagoner coach Dale Condict used to reserve a deer hunting spot about this same time in November. From 2014-16, Condict had to cancel that reservation since the Bulldogs were in the midst of three straight State championships.

Now, the coach decides not to make that hunting reservation the last couple of years. And, sure enough, he could have gone hunting since the last two playoff runs have ended in the second round.

“The first year I gave up on hunting, we didn’t make the semifinals,” Condict said.

Condict admitted during a pre-season interview that maybe he should start reserving the hunting spot again. It makes sense.

If only high school football State championships were that easy to predict.

Jaden Snyder

Jaydn Marshall

For Condict and the Bulldogs, the 2019 campaign has the potential to be special.

Will it be as special as 2014, 2015 or 2016? That’s still to be determined, but for now the pieces seem to be in place to deserve to be the team to beat in District 4A-3.

“We have a good group of six juniors and all six are capable,” Condict said.

Before a State championship can be discussed, the Bulldogs must get through District play. On paper, Bristow looks to be the toughest foe with Oologah close behind.

Bristow came to Wagoner and gave the Bulldogs all they could handle with their Wing-T formation and speed in 2018.

Wagoner rallied to win with a late 2-point conversion 29-28 in overtime.

This season the Bulldogs must travel to

Haeden Schoolcraft

Bristow for the District showdown.

“Bristow concerns us most and coach (Brett) Jones does a good job with the flex bone offense,” Condict said. “They were State champions in track and most of those runners are on the football team.”

Wagoner had holes to fill in the offensive and defensive lines after the 2018 season. Condict has moved some players and will utilize a key move-in to make the rebuilding process smoother.

Offensively, junior quarterback Sawyer Jones returns along with Jaden Snyder, who will get plenty of starting time at wide receiver after sharing early QB duties last year.

Haeden Schoolcraft will see action on both sides of the ball. He will be the middle linebacker on defense and tight end on offense. His 6-foot-3, 210-pound frame will make him a nice target and

Drew Mills

give Wagoner another weapon.

Junior running back Chochee Watson will be hard to bring down on offense and will see lots of time at defensive end.

Nose guard Jaydn Marshall has shed almost 100 pounds and will be quicker and stronger.

Senior cornerback Drew Mills will again anchor the secondary. Mills made some big plays in last year’s second round of playoffs when he stripped the ball away from a Bethany runner and scored a defensive touchdown.

The Bulldogs welcome a new Defensive Coordinator to the coaching staff in Ryan Keenom. He spent seven years at Hilldale and helped the Hornets reach the State quarterfinals six out of the last seven years.

It’s no longer ‘weight’ and see for Marshall

“I gave up tea, pop, Twinkies. bread and a lot of sugary stuff,” Marshall said.

“How tough was it? It was probably one of the toughest things I’ve done in my life.”

What prompted such a drastic lifestyle change? The senior wanted to be quicker and have more energy.

The result of his effort was that he shed 95 pounds in just over a year.

“My personal goal was to get faster,” Marshall admitted.

“No one told me to do it. My brother helped me, but I didn’t get serious until (the 2018-19) wrestling season.”

The weight loss was easy to see and feel.

“When the pounds came off during wrestling season, I could see the results on the mat and see I could take someone down on the mat faster,” Marshall said.

Marshall said during a pre-season football preview meeting that he could polish off 12 cookies easily in a short time. Now, he might eat one or none.

At one point before the diet change, Marshall weighed 330 pounds. Now, he tips the scale at 245.

Does he feel better?

“Oh, yes!” Marshall said.

Jaydn Marshall kneels behind approximately 95 pounds of football gear. Marshall lost 95 pounds in the last year and feels better for it.

JOHN FERGUSON/AMERICAN-TRIBUNE

Coaches and teammates didn’t notice the change at first, but do now.

“People didn’t start to see the change until after wrestling season,” he said.

Marshall’s football teammates said he looked a lot healthier.

“Getting the weight off is easier,” Marshall said. “Maintaining it is a temptation.”

Still, the effort has made a difference he feels on or off the sporting venues.

“If it wasn’t for wrestling, I wouldn’t have lost that much.

Coach (Micco) Charboneau does get some credit,” Marshall added. “I’m eating better and not eating so much junk.”

Marshall hopes to one day go into the medical field. If nothing else, he can be a live example of what eating healthy can do for a person.

Overall, Condict has won 208 games in his 21-year career. During that span, the coach has 13 seasons of 10 or more wins.

Here is the year-by-year breakdown of Condict’s current State-leading record.
