The Woodstock Wolverines will challenge the North Springs Spartans at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Woodstock will be strutting in after a win while North Springs will be coming in after a loss.
Last Thursday, Woodstock was fully in charge, breezing past Woodland 42-3 on the road. Given the Wolverines' advantage in MaxPreps' Georgia football rankings (they are ranked 147th, while the Wildcats are ranked 301st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Isaiah Payton had a dynamite game for Woodstock, rushing for 133 yards while picking up 7.8 yards per carry, and also picking up 58 receiving yards and a touchdown. With that strong performance, Payton is now averaging an impressive 113 rushing yards per game. Graham Burmeister was another key player, throwing for 136 yards and three touchdowns.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Woodstock's defense and their four sacks. In that department, Cooper Price was the leader with two. Another thorn in Woodland's side was Nathan Washington, who picked up a sack, made four total tackles (3.0 for loss), and defended a pass.
North Springs kicked off their season on the road last Friday and hit a couple of potholes. They were outmatched by Holy Innocents Episcopal on the road and fell 47-3. The defeat leaves the Spartans without a win on the season.
