The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Bearcats of the 42-14 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in October of 2024.

Braxton Cole continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 125 yards and two scores on only 15 carries. That's the most rushing touchdowns he has posted since back in September. Another player making a difference was Jayden Maples, who threw for 192 yards and a pair of touchdowns while completing 76.2% of his passes.
Coming up, Sherman will host Lebanon Trail at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Bearcats will be up against the Trail Blazers' rather soft defense (which has allowed 33.22 points per contest), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance. Wakeland does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
