The Pocola Indians will head out to face off against the Spiro Bulldogs at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Pocola will be strutting in after a victory while Spiro will be coming in after a loss.
Pocola is headed out to face Spiro after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Pocola blew past Antlers 54-28 last Friday.
Pocola's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Jaseir Posey, who threw for 300 yards and five touchdowns while completing 81.3% of his passes, and also rushed for 54 yards on only seven carries. Dakotah Terrell was Posey's top target, picking up 132 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Pocola was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 422 total yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Antlers only gained 315.
Spiro kicked off their season on the road on Thursday and hit a couple of potholes. They took a hard 40-21 fall against Panama.
Despite the defeat, Spiro had strong showings from Hayden Reed, who gained 183 total yards, and Brycen Graham, who threw for 225 yards and two touchdowns. Reed got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 80 yards.
Everything came up roses for Pocola against Spiro in their previous meeting back in September of 2023 as the team secured a 57-7 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Pocola since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
