Sapulpa vs. Southmoore Capsule...

By Justin Hite

Sapulpa Chieftains (2-2) at Southmoore SaberCats (3-1)
When: 7 p.m. Thursday
Where: Moore Stadium

Sapulpa (2-2)
Why the Chieftains can win: Sapulpa is odd. So far this season, the Chieftains have played two games at home and two on the road. The strange thing is that their two losses have come at home. By the associative property of football can we determine that Sapulpa is a better road team than home team? Probably not, but their record is better and they’ve had plenty of success away from home.

Southmoore (3-1)
Why the SaberCats can win: Southmoore gets its second-straight Tulsa-area opponent. The difference between Muskogee and Sapulpa isn’t the teams, but that the game is in Moore. That and the Southmoore offense isn’t facing quite as stout a defense. There’s no denying that Southmoore can score points, the SaberCats average just less than 45 points per game. It’ll be nice for Southmoore to return home, but now three weeks out of a knee sprain will quarterback Kendal Thompson play?
