Sequoyah's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Kolby Martin led the charge by throwing for 259 yards and three touchdowns on only 19 passes. That's the most passing yards Martin has posted since back in November of 2024. Holden Campbell was in the mix too, providing Sequoyah with two TDs.
Meanwhile, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, Woodstock beat Pope 20-14 on Friday. The Wolverines haven't had any issues with the Greyhounds recently, as the game was their third consecutive win against them.
Woodstock's win came from a few key players Sequoyah will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Graham Burmeister, who rushed for 75 yards and one score, and also threw for 194 yards and one touchdown while completing 72% of his passes. Xavier Murphy was another key player, gaining 58 total yards.
Woodstock didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Pope to a completion percentage of just 30.4%. That dominant aerial defense primarily came from two players: Caleb Vigna and Tyler Barbera, who each logged two passes deflected. Given Burmeister's standout performance, it's clear Pope's secondary just wasn't on the same level.
Woodstock's defense didn't let Hudson Marinko, get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for 4.5 sacks. Leading the way was Tyler Howard with two. He is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made five or more in each of the last four games he's played.
Sequoyah's record is now 6-1. As for Woodstock, their record now sits at 5-2.
Friday's game might be decided on the ground. Sequoyah has been unstoppable on the ground this season, having averaged 209.3 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like Woodstock struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 156.6 rushing yards. There's a good chance Friday's contest turns into a tough fight on the ground.
Everything came up roses for Sequoyah against Woodstock in their previous matchup back in October of 2024, as the squad secured a 35-7 victory. In that matchup, the Chiefs amassed a halftime lead of 21-0, an impressive feat they'll look to repeat on Friday.
