CHARLESTON – The Spring Valley Timberwolves are preparing to face the Woodrow Wilson Flying Eagles in a crucial high school football game this Friday evening at 7:30 p.m. This matchup promises a fascinating contrast in playing styles, with each team bringing their own strengths to the field.
Spring Valley comes into the game with a record of 4-3, relying heavily on their passing game. Quarterback Liam McGuire has thrown for an impressive 1,448 yards and 16 touchdowns this season, while running back Miguel Cain has added to the offensive effort with 771 rushing yards and nine touchdowns. They will look to keep the momentum going after a commanding 56-26 victory over Capital last week.
On the other side, the Flying Eagles stand at 5-2 and are known for their physical style of play. They’ve shifted from their traditional speedy attack to a more ground-and-pound approach, showcasing a strong offensive line that supports their running game. According to Spring Valley coach Brad Dingess, “They’re big and fast,” highlighting the challenge his team will face on the field.
Woodrow Wilson missed some scoring opportunities last week in a close 14-7 loss to Princeton, where they managed to mount impressive drives of 13 and 19 plays but were halted near the goal line. Eagles coach Chad Sarrett noted that they “left some points on the field” and will need to capitalize on their big-play capability to secure a win.
This game is particularly significant for both teams as they vie for playoff positions in their respective classes. Currently, Woodrow Wilson is ranked 10th in Class AAAA, while Spring Valley sits 8th in Class AAA. “It’s a big game for us,” Dingess stated. A win could move either team closer to securing a home playoff game, making this encounter one that fans will not want to miss.
With pleasant weather predicted for the evening, including clear skies and temperatures peaking at 69°F, it should be a great atmosphere for high school football. Both teams are eager to put forth their best efforts as they head into this pivotal game.
