Ada is headed into the matchup after thoroughly thrashing Glenpool: they outscored them in every quarter.

Meanwhile, after only 13 points in their last game, Sallisaw made sure to put some points up on the board against Stilwell on Thursday. The Black Diamonds took their matchup with ease, bagging a 42-0 victory over the Indians. The final result isn't all that surprising considering the Black Diamonds' considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Oklahoma football rankings (they are ranked 34th, while the Indians are ranked 144th).
A big part of Sallisaw's win came down to the chemistry between Jackson Harris and his top target Kase Adams. Harris rushed for 101 yards and four touchdowns while Adams rushed for 116 yards and a pair of TDs on only 13 carries. Those four rushing touchdowns gave Harris a new career-high.
Sallisaw was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 268 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've managed all season.
One reason for the win was Sallisaw's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Anthony Adame, Logan Bethel, and Hunter Smith, who each picked up one sack apiece.
Ada pushed their record up to 8-1 with the victory, which was their fifth straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 46.0 points over those games. As for Sallisaw, their record is now 7-2.
Ada took their victory against Sallisaw in their previous meeting back in November of 2024 by a conclusive 40-14 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Cougars since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
