SE Set to Host Bisons on Saturday

DURANT, Okla. – Four the second-straight week Southeastern will take the field in the friendly confines of Paul Laird Field, this time looking to defend it from league-leading No. 4/5 ranked Harding on Oct. 28 at 2 p.m.

Kane Donovan became the second quarterback this season for the Storm to pick up a win in his first start, stepping in for Weston Conaway who did the same thing himself just two weeks before versus Arkansas-Monticello.
 
Donovan turned in a 259 yard passing effort, completing 60.5 percent of his passes with a trio of touchdown tosses.
 
SE features seven receivers who have logged a touchdown this season, with Marquis Gray leading that group with five scores, while Gyasi Smith and DJ Brown have two touchdowns each.
