FOOTBALL ROUNDUP-Friday, October 27

Knappa 28, Gaston 7...Still missing Mike Fulton, but bolstered by the return of Steven Bokor, the Loggers, behind a strong effort by their offensive and defensive lines, defeated the Greyhounds at Gaston Friday night.

Gaston scored on its first drive, but Knappa answered with 28 unanswered points, including an 89-yard touchdown run by Bokor, to improve to 3-5 overall and finish their Northwest League schedule at 2-2.

With the win, Knappa will move on to the playoffs if Nestucca defeats Corbett on Friday. A Corbett win would create a 3-way tie to be broken by the Ozzi points system, which would likely leave the Loggers home during the playoffs.

Gary Aho rushed for 95 yards on eight carries with a touchdown before leaving the game in the second quarter with an injury. Freshman Teevan Klauser tallied Knappa's final two scores, picking up 43 yards on 11 carries. The Loggers did not attempt a pass, but intercepted Gaston three times, including two by Elias Hunsinger. The Loggers also got strong play from defensive back Lars Gjovik and lineman Doug Montgomery, who led the team in tackles.

Knappa likely faces a trip to Pilot Rock in the first round of the playoffs on Nov. 10. The Loggers close out the regular season with a non-league game against Chemawa. The Indian boarding school, located in Salem, is a member of the 3A PacWest Conference, but is playing an independent football schedule.

Tillamook 27, Seaside 21...The Gulls tough-luck Cowapa run continued Friday, as the Cheesemakers Jeremy Coon won the game with a 3-yard touchdown run in overtime after the Gulls failed to score on the first possession.

Coon finished with 59 yards on 14 carries while track star Blaise Bennett rushed for 164 yards and a pair of first half touchdowns, including a 74-yard run to give Tillamook a 21-0 halftime lead.

The Gulls came back with 21 unanswered points in the second half, tying the game on Dennis Olstedt's 7-yard run in the fourth quarter, his second TD of the game. Olstedt finished with 127 yards rushing on 24 carries. Will Beatty sat out his second straight game with a shoulder injury.

The Gulls will try to reverse a 4-game losing streak when they take on Banks in the final game of the season Friday.

Jewell 40, Falls City 18...Jewell quarterback Cody Greenwood tossed two touchdown passes and ran for two more as the previously winless Blue Jays defeated Falls City 40-18.

Will Crook rushed for 101 yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries and led the Jays defensive effort with 13 tackles. Will Steinweg was on the receiving end of two Greenwood touchdowns, catching five balls for 60 yards and recording 12 tackles on defense. Greenwood had 12 tackles and one of two Blue Jay pass interceptions.

Jewell closes out the season against Country Christian next Friday night.

Scappoose 49, Banks 13...Justin Engstrom threw for 203 yards and three touchdowns and T.J. Crane rushed for 110 yards and a score as the Indians defeated the Braves to set up a second place showdown in the Cowapa League with Yamhill-Carlton next Friday.
