High School Football: Poly (2-2) vs. Millikan (2-1)

Friday, September 14 | 7:00p.m.

Veterans Memorial Stadium

The Poly Jackrabbits have had a stranglehold on Moore League football for decades. The last Moore League team to beat them was Millikan in 2009. Can the Rams do it again?

This could be the biggest game in the city this year – a defensive slugfest for Moore League supremacy.
