Woodlake Cruises Past Exeter in Season Opener, 41-0

The Woodlake High School varsity football team opened the 2025-26 season with an emphatic 41-0 victory over Exeter, showcasing a dominant performance on both sides of the ball. The win improves Woodlake’s record to 1-0, while Exeter drops to 0-1.

Scoring Breakdown
Woodlake wasted no time asserting control. They scored in every quarter, posting 7 points in the first, 21 in the second, 6 in the third, and another 7 in the fourth. Exeter, meanwhile, struggled to find any offensive rhythm and was held scoreless throughout the game.

Statistical Dominance
Woodlake’s offense outgained Exeter significantly, racking up 322 total yards, including 181 rushing yards and 141 passing yards. Key contributors included Aldo Rodriguez, who led the team with 141 passing yards and a total of 150 yards, and Roman Rosales, who added 63 receiving yards and scored 9 points. On defense, Woodlake recorded 50 tackles and 1 sack, keeping Exeter off the scoreboard the entire game.

Exeter, despite having standout performers like Beau Castillo with 54 rushing yards, struggled to generate offense. Their passing and receiving yards matched at 141 yards, but they were unable to translate yardage into points.

Team Comparisons
Entering the game, Woodlake was ranked 9,076 nationally, 616 in California, and 73rd in their section/division. Exeter came in slightly higher in national ranking at 6,007 but lagged behind in state and sectional standings. Despite these rankings, Woodlake’s performance proved that they were the superior team on game day.

Looking Ahead
Woodlake will aim to carry this momentum into their upcoming non-league matchups against Hanford West and Strathmore. Exeter, meanwhile, will look to regroup after the disappointing season opener as they prepare for games against Lindsay, Strathmore, and Sierra Pacific.

With a strong start and balanced team effort, Woodlake has signaled that they are ready to be a contender this season, while Exeter faces the challenge of turning early struggles into growth.
