While Westmoore and Moore have experienced a few tough beats already, Southmoore is experiencing something they haven't felt since last year.

The Timberwolves are 4-0, and would likely be 5-0 had they been able to complete their game against Muskogee, already up 10-0 in the first quarter.

That's where Norman North is in its push to a perfect regular season after taking care of a scrappy Moore squad, 33-0, at Harve Collins Stadium Friday night.Now 4-0 -- a likely fifth win was cut short when North and Muskogee were unable to finish a game the T-Wolves were leading early last month -- North so far has silenced the critics who wondered if they could bounce back from key losses to graduation from last year's playoff squad.

After facing three top-10 teams in their first four games, the SaberCats get Putnam City North at 7:30 p.

More than winning, though, the Tigers needed to do exactly what they ended up doing against Putnam City West.
