Leading the offensive onslaught was junior running back Caton Cramer, who proved to be a formidable force in the backfield.

His accuracy and decision-making were on full display, allowing the Indians to effectively move the ball downfield and capitalize on scoring opportunities. Holmstrom also contributed with his legs, rushing for 66 yards and adding a touchdown to his impressive stat line.
The receiving corps played a pivotal role in Holmstrom's success. Logan McCormick and Matthew Peters each caught six passes, with McCormick totaling 76 yards and Peters adding 75 yards. Both wideouts were instrumental in the passing game, providing reliable targets and making crucial catches. McCormick and Peters each found the end zone, along with fellow receiver Kalvin Petty, who also added a touchdown reception to the mix.
Defensive Strengths and Key Contributions
While the offensive explosion was the highlight, the Seminole defense also made significant contributions, maintaining control of the game and limiting Canyon West Plains' opportunities. The defensive unit's ability to pressure the quarterback and make key stops was critical in ensuring the victory.
