Southeast (3-1, 0-1) at Deer Creek (2-2, 0-1)
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday
Where: Antlers Stadium
Southeast (W – US Grant 39-6, W – Star Spencer 27-14, W – Capitol Hill 31-6, L – Ada 41-0)
Why the Spartans can win: This is a team that believes it belongs in the playoff race. They still have some depth issues and most of their key players are going both ways. But the defense is strong and the offense has guys who can make plays.
Deer Creek (W – Piedmont 35-14, L – Shawnee 33-26, W – Tecumseh 35-14, L – Guthrie 41-7)
Why the Antlers can win: Because they’ve made the necessary adjustments to playing without Colten Sander. They woke up in the second half of the loss against the Bluejays. And if they’re going to have hopes for a playoff berth, this is as close to a must-win as you’ll see.
