Two dominant signal callers in Caine Woods and Cayden Benson are getting ready to go toe-to-toe. After each having a week off, the Dalton Catamounts and the Creekside Seminoles will shake off the cobwebs and hit the field against one another at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The two teams are strolling into their contests after big wins in their previous games.
Dalton lost a heartbreaker the last time they played Woodland, but it's fair to say they got their revenge given the result of Thursday's matchup. The Catamounts' defense stepped up to hand the Wildcats a 49-0 shutout two weeks ago. The Catamounts' offense stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most points they've scored all season.
Nash Smith had another great game (as he tends to do), rushing for 137 yards and a pair of TDs while picking up 7.2 yards per carry.
Dalton didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Damoni Black.
Meanwhile, Creekside put another one in the bag last Friday to keep their perfect season alive. They took their game with ease, bagging a 79-3 win over Midtown. The final result isn't all that surprising considering the Seminoles' considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Georgia football rankings (they are ranked seventh, while the Knights are ranked 367th).
Dalton better keep an eye on Eric Paul Jr. He was instrumental in Creekside's win, picking up 209 receiving yards and four touchdowns. Those four receiving touchdowns gave Paul Jr a new career-high.
Dalton's record is now 3-7. As for Creekside, their record now sits at 10-0.
Dalton might still be hurting after the 49-24 loss they got from Creekside when the teams last played back in November of 2023. Can the Catamounts avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
