Empire may have come out ahead in their last match, but they shouldn't get too cocky given who is up next. They will square off against Waurika on Friday. Both teams have set a high bar for this match after stand-out offensive performances in their previous contests.
You can't lose the contest if you win every quarter, and that was precisely Empire strategy against Central last week. Empire took their matchup against Central by a conclusive 40-12 score. Empire were expected to win, but the margin was definitely larger than the state rankings had forecast.
Meanwhile, Waurika might be getting used to good results now that the squad has eight wins in a row. They claimed a resounding 50-0 win over Bray-Doyle. Fans of Waurika have seen this all before: every one of Waurika games this year has ended as a stomp.
Empire didn't have too many spare points in their game with Waurika the last time the two teams met, but they still walked away with a 26-20 victory. Since neither squad is a stranger to landslide victories this season, you'd better bet it will be hard-fought showdown.
