"Sus. Valley is a very physical team that executes their plays well, and they put their opponents in difficult situations which in turn throw you off your game plan," said Coach Trevor Holland. "I am most impressed with the amount of effort our Seneca-Indian players put forth in all four quarters of the game, even in the closing moments. Winning the playoff game is obviously the goal, but getting there is never an easy road. Making the playoffs two years in a row is an accomplishment that we need to build off of looking towards the 2020 season, then after that, it's win."
Offensively, the Seneca Indians earned 97 yards rushing and 90 yards passing. Travon Jones posted 10 carries for 60 yards and one touchdown reception. Alex Kranyik added 20 yards over five carries.
