STILLWATER — Sitting at a red table covered with steaming plates of Thai food, Gunnar Gundy had the undivided attention of his famous father.

Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy doesn't always get moments alone with one of his three sons for dinner, a consequence of a high-profile job. But this night leading up to the biggest game Gunnar's young life was special.

A father who won a state title 33 years ago with a son who could do the same Friday night.

As No. 1-ranked Stillwater prepares to face No. 2 Bixby in the Class 6A-II state championship game at Owasso High School, focus will be on one of the most well-known quarterbacks in the state, a namesake of one of the most popular high school players in state history.
