The regular season was a success, but the real challenge begins now, in the postseason. This Friday Sherwood (8-3) takes on Howard (10-0) in the first playoff game of the year. Both teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous games.
Sherwood went up against Whitman last week. Sherwood got off to a good start with a 28-point offensive effort in the first half. That gave them a 28 - 7 advantage at the half. The offense continued to do well in the second half, scoring 21 points. At the end of the day, Sherwood walked away with a breezy 49 - 20 win.
Meanwhile, Howard can now show off eight landslide victories after its most recent game. Everything went its way against Oakland Mills last week as it secured a 44 - 8 win. The margin wasn't a surprise since Howard is ranked 83 positions ahead of Oakland Mills in the MaxPreps state rankings.
Sherwood and Howard had some big point totals in their last games, so we'll see if they bring that energy into this game.
