REGIS ROLLS TO QUARTERFINALS
The top-ranked Regis Rams used a tough swarming defense and big-play running game to clobber Warrenton 35-0 Friday night in the first round of the OSAA 3A State Football playoffs.
Regis will travel to Bandon for a quarterfinal contest this weekend, while Warrenton's season ends with a 6-4 record.
While the Rams defense limited Warrenton to 1 yard rushing in recording its fifth consecutive shutout, the Rams dynamic backfield combo of Dylan Wells and Eric Derschon each topped the 100-yard mark.
The speedy Wells ran for 144 yards and three touchdowns, scoring on runs of 7, 28 and 35 yards in the first half as the Rams built a 28-0 lead.
Warrenton set the table for Regis' first score with a pair of turnovers early in the first period. The Warriors' Beau Torres fumbled on the first play of the game, giving Regis the ball at the Warrenton 20-yard line. Warrenton's defense held, though, forcing a 4th down incompletion. But five plays later, the Rams again had the ball deep in Warrenton territory after Andy Brentano intercepted an Eric Gantenbein pass and returned it to the Warrior 22. Wells rambled in from seven yards out two plays later to put Regis on the board.
The Warriors defense did what it could to keep Warrenton in the game, holding another Regis drive on a blocked Derek Piete field goal attempt with 1:19 to go in the first period. But a holding penalty forced Warrenton to punt from deep in its own end and after a short kick, Derschon raced 33 yards to paydirt on the first play of the ensuing Rams drive to bump the lead to 14-0.
Warrenton responded with its longest sustained drive of the night, as Gantenbein completed all four of his passes and picked up a pair of first downs. But the Rams sacked the Warrenton QB on third and four, forcing a punt. Later in the quarter, a fumbled snap led to the third Warriors turnover of the half. Just three plays later, Regis was in the end zone again on a 28-yard run by Wells.
The Rams put their fourth score on the board with 1:49 left on a 35-yard Wells run, just one play after a Brett Woodley pass bounced off the hands of Warrior safety Dan Wolfe. Wolfe caught just about everything else, finishing with seven receptions for 81 yards and picking off a Woodley pass in the fourth quarter.
The teams played to a virtual stalemate in the second half, as Regis kept its starters in to the final horn, presumably in order to preserve the shutout. Woodley capped the scoring on a 14-yard scramble in the third period. The senior QB finished 4-of-8 for 93 yards and an interception. Derschon had 104 yards rushing on 13 carries.
Record-setting Warrenton quarterback Eric Gantenbein closed his career with 161 yards passing, completing 15 of 28 passes with three interceptions in the driving rain. Gantenbein was sacked eight times with Regis' junior defensive lineman Robert Keudell collecting three sacks. Dallas Moses caught six passes for 62 yards for Warrenton.
