Knappa set to defend 2A title after impressive win
 Despite having three touchdowns called back on penalties, #1 Knappa showed why the defending 2A champs remain the team to beat in 2009 following a convincing 35-18 win at #8 Portland Christian Friday night. Junior Bryan Sablan rushed for 241 yards on 22 carries and three TD’s to lead a relentless Logger ground attack that amassed more than 400 yards on the ground in the final three quarters.

Johnathan Shaffers two fourth quarter rushing touchdowns rallied Aloha from a 17-13 deficit past Beaverton and into the playoffs for the first time since 1986. The 27-17 win gave Aloha the Metro #3 Seed. To put things in perspective, not a single Aloha High School student was born the last time the Warriors made the Oregon High School football playoffs. The top song was Michael Jackson and Lionel Ritchies "We Are The World," nobody owned cell phones let alone had ever heard of them and Ronald Reagan was President. Chew on that.

Stayton’s Win and Tie Breakers Send Cascade to Playoffs
Turner – Cascade quarterback Nick Lamonica found Tyrell Williams for a pair of touchdown catches, and Robbie Federico added a pair of rushing touchdowns, and carried for a game high 134 yards, as the Cougars defeated the visiting Illinois Valley Cougars 28-6.
Thomas Parker's 82 yard touchdown run out of a spread formation highlighted Illinois Valley's game.
Stayton’s 13-0 win over North Marion earned the Eagles (8-2, 5-1) the final Capitol Conference championship, and also resulted in a three way tie for the other two playoff berths. Cascade’s non-conference record earned the Cougars (7-3, 4-2) the second seed, their first playoff trip in 10 years. North Marion (7-3, 4-2) picked up the third seed, while Estacada (5-4, 4-2) was eliminated, despite their 32-7 win over La Salle (2-7, 1-5).
“I’m pretty excited, the kids are excited, and the community is excited,” Cascade Coach Karl Elliott said of the victory. “The kids worked hard, they earned it.”
“Our goal from the start of the season, after going 2-8 last season, was to make the playoffs,” Federico added.

League Titles and OSAA berths at stake Friday night.
The final week of the 2009 regular season 2A schedule serves as a de facto district seeding playoff. League championships and top OSAA seeds are on the line in all five 2A districts. Headlining Friday’s action will be #1 Knappa (8-0, 4-0) @ Portland Christian (7-2, 4-0). Meanwhile, the MVC has three teams locked at 5-1, with all four district seeds up for grabs. The TRC, SCL, and BMC champions are not finalized yet, giving 2A fans from the Columbia Basin to the California border a terrific final week of small-school gridiron action.
Unlike almost every other sport, football does not use a district playoff system to determine OSAA seeding. Even ties in the standings are decided by SOP formulas. So it is quite rare and enjoyable to see the scheduling gods bestow upon 2A fans such a terrific final week of football with all five districts hosting several key games that may make or break a team’s playoff hopes.

Lamonica To Williams Combo Tears Up Huskies
 Aurora - Cascade quarterback Nick Lamonica completed eight of eleven passes for 184 yards and three touchdowns, two to Tyrell Williams, as the Cougars upset Capital Conference leading North Marion 29-12 on the road.
The first of two key sequences came in the last minute of the first half. North Marion, trailing 15-12, had held Cascade, forcing the Cougars to punt from their own 9 yard line, and took over at the Cascade 40 with 46.4 seconds left.
However, Husky quarterback Adam Hayden misfired on four consecutive throws, and the Cougars took the ball back with 26.6 seconds left. Which was more than enough for Lamonica.
Lamonica found Williams for 20 yards, and after a timeout, scrambled for seven more, before getting out of bounds at the 33 with 8.7 seconds left. Williams then shook free of the Huskies’ coverage down the left sideline, and Lamonica fired a strike for a touchdown with 2.5 seconds left, and Cascade carried a 22-12 lead into halftime.
“Our running game set that up,” Williams said. “Their defensive backs were crowding up and inside, and (with my speed) I could get outside a couple of steps. Nick threw a perfect pass, and all I had to do was turn and score.”

In a game that had all the looks of heading toward a Kansas Plan Overtime, Tualatin had something else in mind. Back on their own 28 yard line with under a minute and facing a Second and 22, quarterback Matt Yarborough hooked up twice with his ace reciever Christian Pierson. The first for 34 yards and then with 26 seconds left, again for 38 yards and the winning touchdown to break a 20-20 tie and vault into second place in the Pacific Conference. They can claim the runner-up spot and #2 Pacific Conference Seed with a win over Tigard next week.

18 Players At Practice Not Enough
Tonight's non-conference game between the Sprague Olympians and the Lake Oswego Lakers is the latest game to be cancelled due to illness outbreaks, and the first at the 6A level.
Approximately 400 students were absent Tuesday from Sprague, and the number climbed to 600 midweek. As a result, only 18 players were available for practice, and less than a dozen of the varsity.
Sprague (5-2, 3-2) has already clinched a playoff berth from the Central Valley conference, holding a tie-breaker over all the teams below them in the standings who could catch them, and has two weeks to get healthy, with only a road game to winless Redmond remaining.

Valco, GOL Titles On The Line In Games of the Week
Sweet Home and Central both rolled on the coast, setting up a neutral site showdown in Corvallis for the Valco championship, while Ontario has the home field advantage in the defacto GOL championship game.
No one is in yet in the SkyEm, but Marist can lock up the title with a win over Pleasant Hill, and the same is true in the Far West, where no one is in yet, but a Douglas win in Sutherlin clinches the title for the Trojans.

An eerie sight unfolds this Saturday when untold tens of thousands of zombies will stream up and down I-5 calling out "Brrrrrayynnnnns." Some zombies (known as the "I am Orange Zombies") will veer off onto Route 34 and head west to Reser Vault (It used to be a Crypt but not any longer) in hopes of feasting on Little Ricky and his little teddy bears. I've been a card carrying member of the Autzen Zombie cadre for now what seems an eternity. For we are a highly trained unit of living dead who's howls have horrified many an opposing quarterback and had coaches lament the terrifying cachophony of shrieks and wailing have spawned night terrors for which there is no cure. On Saturday at sunset, the holiest of collegiate craniums will be observed in the sacrificial "O" chamber. The golden fleece of brains. Tucked beneath a sea of enviable waves of silver coiffed good looks, lies the most coveted brain for any Autzen Zombie in all of college football. Bring us the brains of Pete Carroll. Those Autzen Zombies sitting in the west endzone are encouraged to go after the Trojan band to silence the incessant bleating of their 'first down dirge' which I have come to loathe.

Maybe Sherwood's Coach Greg Lawrence can console Glencoe's Tim Duvall that 'this is just what the doctor ordered in order to take the next step to becoming a better team.' Its a dangerous game when you start looking at common opponents and using that as a measuring stick. Maybe last week Sherwood deduced they'd beaten West Albany and ergo should defeat Hillsboro. Maybe Glencoe deduced Hilhi throttled Sherwood and they were beaten on a fluke play ergo they should defeat Sherwood. Sometimes its hard to figure out whats going to happen on any given Friday Night and just like nobody saw the 48-14 beat down the Bowmen were given, nobody saw this lopside 62-6 Sherwood win coming either. In what is shaping out as a playoff that will be full of intrigue and mystery, the third ranked Sherwood Bowmen came out firing on all cylinders and getting back to their basics in demolishing the fifth ranked Glencoe Crimson Tide to grab the steering wheel of the #2 NWOC Playoff Seed.
