Little Axe will challenge Grant on the road at 7:00 PM on Thursday. Little Axe is expected to win -- but not by much -- so they will need to come into the matchup prepared for a fight.
Last Friday, Little Axe were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap, as they fell 20-26 to Bridge Creek.
Meanwhile, everything went Grant's way against Northwest Classen as they made off with a 39-13 win. Grant was expected to win, but the margin was definitely larger than the state rankings had forecast.
Grant's victory lifted them to 1-1 while Little Axe's defeat dropped them down to 1-1. In their victory, Grant relied heavily on sophomore Dorian Wilson, who rushed for 85 yards and 2 touchdowns; a key strategy for Little Axe will lie in finding a way to minimize his impact.
