Meanwhile, while Dibble put up plenty of points on Friday, the same can't be said for Comanche. The Demons breezed past the Indians to the tune of 55-0.

Thursday's game might be decided on the ground. Holdenville has been unstoppable on the ground this season, having averaged 473.8 rushing yards per game.
