Woodlake football captures third straight East Sequoia League title

Winning. That's the culture at Woodlake High School. Under fifth-year head coach Manny Martinez, the Tigers football program captured their third straight East Sequoia League championship this season, going a perfect 4-0 to win an outright league title. Since Martinez arrived as head coach in 2022, Woodlake has been the class of the ESL, going 25-7 in league play, including a dominating 16-2 mark from 2024 to this fall. How has Woodlake (8-2) sustained that success? "I think just the consistency of the weight room, and being consistent on and off the field," Martinez said. "The consistency the boys are getting used to week in and week out. The expectations, we hold them to high expectations here, and they come to realize that they're going to be nothing less than playing in the playoffs." More: Week 12 Tulare County Power Football Rankings, plus stat stars Those standards are why Woodlake has been one of Tulare County's premier small-school programs this decade.
