The Poteau Pirates are taking a road trip to take on the Ada Cougars at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Poteau's defense has only allowed 13.5 points per game this season, so Ada's offense will have their work cut out for them.
Ada is hoping to do what Stilwell couldn't on Friday: put an end to Poteau's winning streak, which now stands at three games. Poteau strolled past Stilwell with points to spare, taking the game 28-13. Given the Pirates' advantage in MaxPreps' Oklahoma football rankings (they are ranked 48th, while the Indians are ranked 140th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Poteau's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged three passes before it was all said and done. It was truly a group effort as Camden Crew, Sam Tecla, and Tyler Fassio picked up one apiece. Fassio is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made five or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season. Another thorn in Stilwell's side was Ryder Waddell, who picked up a sack and made 11 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Ada, who bounced back after a loss on the road back in September. They blew past McLain Science & Tech, posting a 41-12 victory at home. The Cougars' offense stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most points they've scored all season.
Poteau's win bumped their record up to 3-1. As for Ada, they pushed their record up to 2-2 with the victory, which was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season.
Everything came up roses for Poteau against Ada in their previous matchup back in October of 2023, as the squad secured a 40-7 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Poteau since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
