Saturday's game might be decided on the ground. Sumner has been unstoppable on the ground this season, having averaged 201.5 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like Puyallup struggles in that department as they've been averaging 201 rushing yards. There's a good chance Saturday's matchup turns into a tough fight on the ground.
Sumner skirted past Puyallup 17-14 in their previous meeting back in October of 2024. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Vikings' Kyson Douglas, who picked up 129 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns, and also rushed for 67 yards. Now that he won't be playing on Saturday, will it be easier for the Spartans to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
