The Woodbury Thundering Herd will face off against the Salem Rams at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
After dropping their season opener at home, Salem is headed out to face a Thundering Herd team ready to give their home crowd a win. Woodbury and Haddonfield were almost perfectly matched up on Saturday, but Woodbury suffered a 21-20 defeat. The Thundering Herd have struggled against the Bulldawgs recently, as their matchup on Saturday was their fifth consecutive lost matchup.
Woodbury's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of Dale Thomas, who rushed for 71 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries, and Marquis Taylor, who picked up 94 receiving yards and a touchdown. Thomas got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run and that went for an incredible 70 yards.
Woodbury's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged three passes before it was all said and done. It was truly a group effort as Taylor, Jasuan Solomon, and Camyle Carter picked up one apiece.
Meanwhile, Salem came up short against Cinnaminson on Saturday and fell 14-7.
Everything came up roses for Woodbury against Salem in their previous matchup back in October of 2023 as the squad secured a 49-14 victory. Will Woodbury repeat their success, or does Salem have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
