It's said that defense wins championships. Woodward Academy can attest. Its streak of four region championships ended last season after the War Eagles finished 37th in Class AAAA scoring defense, allowing 27.9 points per game. This season, they've cut that number to 4.9 points allowed, best in AAAA. Woodward (7-0, 3-0) is back on top of Region 4. Here are class-by-class leaders.
