The Woodruff Wolverines will be staying on the road on Friday to face off against the Chapman Panthers at 7:30 p.m. Woodruff knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 31 points or more in their past four matches -- so hopefully Chapman likes a good challenge.

They fell just short of the Stars by a score of 40-38. While the Wolverines had to settle for second, they closed the game well in the third quarter, where they outscored the Stars 21-6.
Despite their loss, Woodruff saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. TJ Morris, who threw for 411 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.5 yards per attempt, was perhaps the best of all. Aiden Gibson helped Morris out on the ground, picking up 120 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 38 yards and a touchdown.
Meanwhile, after low-scoring totals in their previous three contests, Chapman brought some dynamite into their most recent contest.

Woodruff might still be hurting after the 57-34 loss they got from Chapman in their previous meeting back in August of 2023. Thankfully for Woodruff, Coleman Gray (who rushed for 90 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 206 yards while completing 75% of his passes) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
