These rivals have split eight previous games since South Pointe fielded its first varsity team in 2006. While they share the same hometown, these rivals' formulas for winning is a little different. South Pointe is more likely to smother an opponent into submission with a swarming defense. The Stallions have allowed 10 points or less in eight of their last 20 games. Northwestern, on the other hand, is known for a wide-open offense that is averaging more than 47 points per game this year.
