The Hartshorne Miners will head out on the road to take on the Pocola Indians at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Hartshorne is probably headed into the game with a chip on their shoulder considering Rejoice Christian just ended the team's six-game winning streak on Thursday. They took a blow against the Eagles, falling 48-6. The Miners were red-hot offensively headed into the contest (they scored no less than 31 points in the six matchups prior) but the Eagles' defense proved too tough.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Pocola). They blew past Chouteau-Mazie 62-36 on Thursday. The Indians might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five matches by 23 points or more this season.
It was another big night for Jaseir Posey, who threw for 526 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 19.5 yards per attempt. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played. 83 of those passing yards were hauled in by Cash Jerrell.
Having lost for the first time this season, Hartshorne fell to 6-1. As for Pocola, they have been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four games, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season.
Everything came up roses for Hartshorne against Pocola in their previous meeting back in November of 2015, as the team secured a 60-14 win. Will Hartshorne repeat their success, or does Pocola have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
