Deer Creek (5-2) at Noble (1-5)
When: 7:30 p.m. Thursday
Where: Noble HS

Deer Creek (W – Piedmont; L- Shawnee; W – Tecumseh; L – Guthrie; W – Southeast; W – El Reno; W – WHeights)
Why the Antlers can win: Because the last three weeks have been just what this team and the doctor ordered. The running game has been phenomenal and the defense has been the unsung heroes in the three-game winning streak.

We can’t look ahead. It’s not Carl Albert week. This is Noble week, and this is who we’re concentrating on.” – coach Grant Gower

Noble
Why the Bears can win: Because Noble is coming off not only its first win of the year but easily its best performance of the season in a win against Southeast. The Bears are young, but their confidence should be high.

Key matchup: Deer Creek passing game vs. Noble defense. I’ma beat you into the ground with it. The Antlers need to get a good passing game going heading into showdowns with CA and Ada. Alex Christensen threw a TD pass to Hunter Dinkines last week, which is a start. Gotta have balance to win the close ones.
