Tigers Extend Win Streak To 5

Last Friday, the Stockton Tigers took a long bus ride north to take on the Sherwood Marksman on the Sherwood campus near Creighton, Missouri. The Tigers scored on their first, second, and fourth possessions, taking a 28-8 lead into the locker room at the half. In the second half, the Tigers added four more touchdowns enroute to a lopsided victory against the Marksmen, winning 57-14, scoring eight touchdowns in all. In addition to the offensive juggernaut, the defense played outstanding, forcing four turnovers and two turnovers on downs. Quarterback Easton Hubbard and running backs Jack Rickman and Logan Reser broke off multiple long gains as Sherwood had no answers to the Tigers' run game. The receivers, Preston Rains and Landon Sexton, made multiple highlight reel catches, adding to the excitement of another big win. The Tigers amassed 370 yards of total offense, with 300 yards coming on the ground. Sherwood was only able to muster 89 yards of total offense on the night.
