Carl Albert (4-1) vs. Southeast (3-2)
When: 7:30 p.m. Thursday
Where: Speegle Stadium

Carl Albert (L – BTWashington, W – Ardmore, W – Duncan, W – Western Heights, W – El Reno)
Why the Titans can win: Because as is the norm with a Gary Rose-coached club, this team is rounding into form at the right time. The lines are dominating play. The defense is creating turnovers. And the passing game came alive in a rout of El Reno last week.

Southeast (W – US Grant, W – Star Spencer, W – Capitol Hill, L – Ada, L – Deer Creek)
Why the Spartans can win: After two bad losses, Southeast wants to show they’re better than they’ve looked. I’d look for Michael Branch to have the Spartan D flying to the ball this week. Running back Jay Gogue is among the best in the state in yards per carry at 12.6.
