GOTW: Sequoyah and Cherokee's Boys' Lacrosse Teams to Face Off

The game of the week will be the Chiefs’ boys lacrosse team taking on Cherokee this Friday. The Chiefs have not had the ideal start to the season and need to win this game. They are still adjusting to the coaching style of their new head coach, Ben Sparks. The Chiefs started out with a difficult schedule this season playing against teams such as Fellowship Christian and Harrison. Both teams were incredibly high powered but will prepare the Chiefs region play and rivalry matchups.

Sequoyah’s lacrosse team takes the field against Riverwood. They lost 9-6.

The Cherokee Warriors have gone 3-3 on the season so far, beating Forsyth Central, Riverwood, and North Cobb. Their game against Forsyth Central was close the score was 13-10, and they defeated Riverwood 14-9. Riverwood also beat the Chiefs 9-6. They won convincingly against North Cobb who they defeated 14-1.

The matchup between the Chiefs and Indians should be fairly even and exciting. The Chiefs need this win to end their losing six game losing streak. Last year the Chiefs defeated the Indians 7-6. The games between these two teams are always close and very intense. The majority of both teams are underclassmen, so both teams are inexperienced and are learning how to play together this season.

Goalie, Ezekiel Quarles, prepares for the other team’s offensive attack. The sophomore has started both years for the Chiefs.
