Hilldale vs. Poteau

Should be an interesting one no doubt. Hilldale trailed against Stilwell at half, but won big and then took care of business against a gritty Ada team. Poteau barely escaped Madill and Fort Gibson hung with them until some turnovers cost them. Poteau’s defense is not what it has been the past few years. Virgil is the real deal and I expect him to have a big night. The Hornets size will give the Pirates trouble. Poteau is very small on both sides of the ball and I don’t think Poteau will be able to stop the run game. I think Hilldale wins this one and Poteau’s chances of winning a fifth district title takes a major hit this week.
