Woodside had won two straight games and Evan Usher did his part to make it three on Friday. The Woodside Wildcats came out on top in a nail-biter against the Milpitas Trojans , sneaking past 22-19 thanks in part to Usher, who rushed for 146 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.3 yards per carry. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 69 yards.
Usher was just one part of a punishing run game: Woodside was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 254 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 176 rushing yards in 19 consecutive matchups dating back to last season.
On the defensive side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Woodside's defense and their five sacks. Brett Blasing was especially locked on to Milpitas' QB and sacked him 2.5 times.
Woodside pushed their record up to 7-3 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home. Those good results were due in large part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 12.8 points per game. As for Milpitas, they have been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 4-6 record this season.
As of now, neither Woodside nor Milpitas have any future games scheduled.
