For the first time this season, Standley Lake will have a chance to prove themselves in a conference matchup. They will be playing in front of their home fans against the Lutheran Lions at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Standley Lake has given up an average of 37.6 points per game this season, but Friday's game will give them a chance to turn things around.
Standley Lake is headed into Friday's matchup looking for a big change in momentum after dropping their third straight games last Friday. They had to suffer through a 55-28 loss at the hands of Skyline.
Despite the defeat, Standley Lake had strong showings from Teagan Leighton, who rushed for 94 yards and two TDs, and Jaden Epps, who gained 156 total yards and a touchdown. Leighton showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 50 yards.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Lutheran). They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat Green Mountain 41-14. The victory continues a trend for the Lions in their matchups with the Rams: they've now won five in a row.
Standley Lake better focus on containing Eli Abramson and Evan Holdridge as the pair were huge in Lutheran's win. Abramson threw for 139 yards and four touchdowns, while Holdridge rushed for 98 yards and one score. That's the most passing touchdowns Abramson has posted since back in September of 2024.
Lutheran's run defense was locked in: Green Mountain could only muster 3.1 yards per carry. The Lions didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 5.6.
Lutheran now has a winning record of 3-2. As for Standley Lake, their loss dropped their record down to 1-4.
Standley Lake might still be hurting after the 49-26 defeat they got from Lutheran in their previous meeting back in October of 2024. Thankfully for the Gators, Sawyer Wald (who rushed for 266 yards and five TDs while picking up 13.3 yards per carry) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
