Southmoore: Explosive offense making up for mistakes...

By Justin Hite

After fumbling on its first two drives against Westmoore, the Southmoore offense exploded. The SaberCats scored three times in only 2:52. Kendal Thompson opened the flurry when he found tight end Jackson Stallings with 35 seconds left in the first quarter.

Andrew Long continued it only 42 seconds into the second quarter on a 5-yard run. Southmoore got the ball back after another three-and-out and Tre Edwards found Thompson on a skinny post for a 26-yard touchdown toss. Southmoore didn’t score for another 22:27.

The Southmoore SaberCats have hurt themselves the past two weeks as much as their opponents have.

Against Edmond North, the SaberCats found themselves in a two-score hole early, and in Week 2, Southmoore committed 15 penalties for 130 and fumbled the football five times, losing four.

Southmoore coach Chris Jensen was very clear after the Friday’s 49-27 victory against Westmoore about how the SaberCats will respond.

“We’ll get it fixed,” he said.

Southmoore faces Moore at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Moore Stadium.
