Oklahoma high school football playoff game won on dramatic kick return: Look

Oklahoma Sooners commit Jaden Nickens provided the game-winning score as time expired in the Class 2A semifinals

In one of the best Oklahoma high school football games of the week, it appeared Kiefer would remain undefeated and secure a spot in next week's state finals. 

After scoring with 12 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Trojans kicked the go-ahead extra point to take a 29-28 lead over OKC Millwood in the Class 2A semifinals on Friday. 

Then Jaden Nickens flipped the script. 

The four-star Oklahoma commit returned a kickoff more than 75 yards for the game-winning touchdown as time expired, sending Millwood back to the 2A state championship for the second year in a row.

Millwood, ranked No. 9 in the state, won 34-29 and set up a date with No. 4 Washington next week in the state championship. The Falcons also have a chance to avenge last season's loss to Washington in the championship.

Nickens, a four-star wide receiver in the class of 2024, committed to Oklahoma in August.
