Gans is on the road today to play its next District B-6 game versus Arkoma with kickoff at 7 p.m.
The Grizzlies (1-1 district) are coming off a 44-0 win against Cave Springs to take on the tough Arkoma (2-0 district) Mustangs, who beat Foyil 38-8 last week.
Gans head coach Brian Morton focused his charges on hitting their marks in practice and going over film to show them what worked and what they missed last week. “I see a lot of things t h a t we ‚ restill doing wrong,” Morton said. “Arkoma‚s tough. They‚ve got a pretty good running game, they‚re pretty balanced and they‚ve got a strong tradition there.”
The stakes just keep getting higher each game, so the Grizzlies need to keep the level of physicality against the Mustangs that they displayed on both sides of the ball last week.
“We‚re coming off a good game, but we sure can‚t relax against a team like Arkoma. They‚ve got a lot of size to them, and they‚ve got a running back that runs the ball very well. He‚s really strong.”
The Grizzlies will have their hands full on defense stopping Arkoma‚s offensive playmaker Carl Brake, who‚s joined by running backs Klay Brinkley, and Cooper Alvarez.
Gans will need to win two of its last three games to earn a berth to the District-6 OSSAA postseason, which is a possibility if they win tonight.
“I‚m sure that Arkoma will test us as best they can,” Morton predicts.
