In 1945 the first MCHS football game was played at what later became Jim Darnell Stadium. The team still plays there to this day. The MCHS football program includes over 80 All-Staters including Oklahoma State University head football coach Mike Gundy. With a winning percentage of .730 of all games ever played, a state record for 45 consecutive winning seasons and the first ever undefeated 6A State Football Champions. At MCHS there is a saying: "Winning, it's not pressure, it's a way of life". Some call it tradition, some call it spirit but the Midwest City community calls it Bomber Magic.

Since its first season under coach Fred Barlow in 1945, MCHS has had only 11 coaches in over 60 years. From 1955-1977 legendary coach Jim Darnell led the football program. In 1960 they captured their first state championship. Darnell retired after the 1977 season and left MCHS as the winningest coach in school history (183-51-12) which prompted naming the stadium after him.

Coach Darnell's successor was his former player and later Assistant Coach, Dick Evans. Evans became the 2nd in all-time wins at Midwest City. During his time at the helm he produced standout quarterback Mike Gundy who went on to play at Oklahoma State. Gundy became the university's all-time leading passer and later became the head coach at OSU. Coach Evans will always be remembered for his 1988 campaign with the Bombers. They went 6 and 4 for the regular season to make the playoffs and went on to win the state championship. Some call it the Cinderella story of Oklahoma High School football.

Evans retired in 1991 and coach Dennis Huggins took over the reins to a powerhouse football team. During the 1994 season Huggins led the Bombers to the state's first ever 6A Championship. They accomplished that while at the same time having an undefeated season. By virtue of their finishing 14-0 ESPN pronounced them the 5th best high school football program in the nation. The following year they repeated as State Champs and finished in some polls as the 'mythical' high school National Champions. ESPN had them as the 2nd best in the nation.

Huggins retired following the 1995 season leaving behind what Bomber fans call "A tradition of winning".

Steve Huff is in his third year as head coach for Midwest City. Coming from Texas as a high school football coach at Texas A&M Consolidated, Steve Huff went 11-3 as the offensive coordinator at the high school in College Station his last year. He lost in the semifinals to Trinity High School who later that year would be crown the state champion. They were also ranked that year as the number 5 high school team in the nation. Steve Huff comes to Midwest City looking to win his first ever state title as a head coach for football. In his first season at Midwest City he brought the Bombers back to the playoffs after a four year absence. He finished his first year at Midwest City 6-5. With the 2007 regular season over, Steve Huffs Midwest City Bombers finished the regular season, going into the playoffs, undefeated with a 10-0 record and as the District 6A-2 Champions, and Regional Champions. This is the first time Midwest City has gone undefeated in the regular season since 1995. With the 10-0 record Midwest City had the opportunity to host two playoff games at historical Jim Darnell Stadium against Mustang and Owasso,which MWC won both by a score of 63-38. It was the first time Midwest City has hosted a playoff game since 2001. They finished this unforgetable season with a loss to Jenks in the 6A Semi-finals. The last time Midwest City won a playoff game was back in 1997, and the last time they won two or more was in 1996. Steve Huffs Bombers finished the 2007season campaign 12-1. This is Midwest Citys best season record since its 11-3 mark back in 1996. Coach Steve Huffs win loss record now stands at 18-6.(0.750).
