The homecoming coronation is set for 6 p.m. at Smokey Cox Stadium and the game will have an early 7 p.m. kickoff due to the long drive Sasakwa is making.
The 20th-ranked Vikings will be bringing a 4-1 record and they are 3-1 in District C-4.
"I thought it might be a good game for homecoming, but now they're 4-1," laughed Webbers Falls head coach Jeff Jones.
"It's a very, very important game," added Jones. "I feel like we have to win five of eight district games to make the playoffs and this is one of the games we have to win."
Webbers Falls is ranked 19th and has an overall record of 3-2 and a 3-1 mark in league play. In order tokeep pace with the district leaders, the Warriors will need to slow down Sasakwa quarterback John Choate.
"He's a senior and he is their best offensive player. He throws real well and he's the one who makes the team go. We have to shut him down if we want to win the game," said Jones.
The Vikings' ground game is powered by tailback Phillip Aquilera (5-11, 160, junior) and fullback Josiah Harjo (5-9, 260, senior).
"I've charted 127 of their plays and it's 66 percent run and 33 percent pass. I thought we were pretty balanced, but they throw it more than us. They'll pass quite a bit, depending on the opponent," said Jones.
Sasakwa got beat 55-0 last week by Maud, but before that game the Viking defense had allowed just seven points per game while beating Macomb, White Oak, Bluejacket and Kinta.
"Their defense is a 3-2 or 4-2 and they like to stunt the linebackers a lot, which can give us problems if we don't pick it up," said Jones. "They'll bring a linebacker from somewhere on just about every play."
Webbers Falls is coming off a 40-0 win over Agra and Jones said he likes the fact that the Warriors aren't relying on just one or two players to carry the load.
"As far as stats, I'm pretty proud of the kids because we have multiple players getting 50 or 60 yards a game.," said Jones. "Last week, we had four kids with over 40 yards. Instead of one kid with 1,000 yards, we have several kids with at least 200 yards. We have multiple threats."
After five games, freshman Hunter Hume leads the team in rushing with 60 carries for 329 yards and Allen Lea has gained another 291 yards on 50 attempts.
Chad Dandridge has run for 171 yards and completed 23-of-45 passes for 377 yards and eight touchdowns. Jacob Glad is the team's leading receiver with nine catches for 178 yards. Mitchell Carman has nine receptions for 127 yards and A.J. McFarland has piled up 163 yards on just five catches.
McFarland leads the Warrior defense with 70 tackles. Justin Lea is next with 52, Allen Lea has 51 tackles and Carman has 45.
