Tigard White 14, Aloha White 6
Thanks to a tough defensive stand near the end of the game, the fifth/sixth-grade Tigard White team beat the Aloha Warriors White team 14-6 at Tigard High School Saturday.
For the second consecutive game, the Tigers received the kick off and scored on their initial drive. After being stopped on third down, the Tigers went for the first down on a fourth-and-long play and scored on a 43-yard run by Sam Inos. Inos broke to the outside after offensive guard Branden Baker made two vicious blocks to smash open the hole at the line. Meanwhile, quarterback Jacob Spadafora and tight-end Tyler Critchfield made downfield blocks that allowed Inos to run into the end zone untouched. Jackson Fisher put the kick through the middle of the goal posts to make it 8-0 in favor of Tigard.
After Tyler Critchfield nearly recovered the onside kick, the Warriors only ran two plays before Nick Stevens jumped in front of a receiver and intercepted his first pass of the day. The Tigers struggled on their next drive running 10 plays for only 36 yards and fumbling twice.
Tigard stopped Aloha after allowing them to gain 30 yards on two running plays but were subsequently unable to move the ball. Tigard took over and Sam Inos broke out for a 25-yard gain and Tyler Critchfield took a Spadafora pass 26 yards to the 1-yard line. William Holman scored on the short yardage play but the PAT was no good, leaving the score 14-0.
Aloha took the ball on their next possession and drove 54 yards on 7 plays, scoring on a 19-yard pass play. The run for the extra point was stopped by the Tiger defense leaving the score 14-6.
On the last drive of the half, Tigard’s Jake Spadafora scampered for 30-yards on a broken pass play but was injured on the tackle. Tyler Critchfield nearly led the offense to their third score of the game but the clock ran out ending the half.
Both squads struggled during the second half to find any offense rhythm. Tigard only gained 41 yards rushing in the second half while Aloha was limited to a total of 6 yards rushing and 40 yards passing. Neither side was able to score. Tyler Critchfield came in to spell Jake Spadafora again and nearly kept the third drive of the half alive with a gutsy 9-yard run on fourth down. Nick Stevens collected another interception after heavy pressure on the Aloha quarterback by Bryan Baker.
Aloha’s only threat came after Tigard made a number of mental mistakes and allowed the Warriors to get down to Tigard’s 5-yard line on first and goal. The Tigers made a goal line stand that included an incredible display of gang tackling at the goal line led by Christopher Bates, Stephen Burdett and Branden Baker. The defensive stand was capped off by two sacks – the first for a 9-yard loss on third and goal by Tyler Critchfield and another one for an 11-yard loss on fourth and goal by Bryan Baker.
The Tigers defense only allowed a total of 132 yards during the game. The defensive unit was led by Bryan Baker, Christopher Bates and Nick Stevens, each of whom had 6 tackles. Branden Baker had 5 tackles, Tyler Critchfield had 4 tackles, Stephen Burdett had 3 tackles, Owen Black, Sam Inos, and Zach Stevenson each had 2 tackles and Brandon Dodak and Alex Kelly each had 1 tackle.

Sam Inos led all rushers with 98 yards on 12 carries and a touchdown, Jacob Spadafora had 56 yards on 6 carries, William Holman finished with 49 yards on 18 carries and a touchdown, Tyler Critchfield had a carry for 9 yards and Zach Stevenson had 2 carries for 6 yards.
Tualatin White 48, Tigard Silver 14
Garret Cutright celebrated his birthday in grand style Saturday by scoring 3 touchdowns from distances of 17, 40 and 83 yards as well as recovering a fumble and making a number of tackles for the Tualatin fifth/sixth-grade White team in its 48-14 win over Tigard. Happy Birthday, Garrett.
The offense found its groove in this one and was able to run at will. Hard running by the backs and beautiful blocking by the line allowed the offense to score on every possession. It was a total team effort and every player got to play a substantial amount. Others scoring touchdowns in this one were Jordan Wilson (2), Jake Day and Evan Gang.
Some notable achievements were the tackling of Jack Dupuis, Joshua Watson and Griffin Young, the leadership of quarterbacks Brian Davis and Harrison Visse, and Kaleb Olsen kicking 3 out of 3 PATs. But the story of the day had to be Cutright who ran like his hair was on fire. The Wolves won by a final score of 48-14.
Tigard varsity White 30, Southridge Red 16
Tigard struck quickly after receiving the kickoff. Huge back-to-back rushes by Hayden Flake and Benny Wick setup a final 30-yard scoot by Flake for Tigard's first touchdown. Providing the blocking and QB protection on the line were: Andrew Hungerford, Nick Smith, Cain Adams, Aaron Andrus, Ken Timmins, Jake Miller, and Bryan Cabral on the line. Will Schaer led the team down the field at the quarterback position and Ethan Lange provided powerful lead blocking for the backs at the fullback position. After an exchange of possession by both teams, Southridge tied up the game when a running back slipped through the fingers of the Tigard defenders.
The beginning of the second quarter started the same as the first for the Tigers. Schaer started the drive with a 23-yard rope to Chance Taylor on the 11-yard line. Fullback Matt Franz pounded the ball to the 4-yard line on the next play followed by a touchdown run by Wick. Southridge tried to recover on their next possession, but the Tigard defense held tight. The defensive line and linebackers (Smith, Taylor Courtney, Parker Garland, Ken Haskett, Xiao Liang, Jeruebe Phillips, Lange, Wick, Franz, Flake and Justin Evans) kept constant pressure on the quarterback. Their aggressiveness paid off when the Southridge QB was forced to throw into the blanket coverage of the Tigard DBs (Ryan Bickel, Mark Hall, Michael Ehrenfelt, Cabral, Chandler Kelly and Schaer) resulting in an interception by Bickel on the 15-yard line. The Tigard offense took advantage of the field position and scored again on a 15 yd Wick run. Tigard's offensive line was on their horses providing critical downfield blocking for the TD run. The score was now Tigard 24, Southridge 8.
Southridge scored on their ensuing possession with strikes to their receivers. However, they left a little too much time on the clock before the end of the half. Wick brought the crowd to their feet with an electrifying 91-yard kick off return run resulting in another Tigard touchdown. Tigard's defense shut Southridge down as they tried to put together a final drive, ending with an interception by Hall. The score at halftime was Tigard 30 Southridge 16.
The second half of the game saw the Tigard offense controlling the ball and chewing up precious time off the play clock. The Tigard defense adjusted to Southridge's throwing threat by increasing the pressure on the QB. Liang recorded a sack, Evans had several "bone-jarring" hits in the second half. Adams forced and recovered a fumble as the game came to a close.
Tualatin varsity Cardinal 26, Oregon City Black 0
Tualatin’s Cardinal Varsity team beat a valiant Oregon City Black squad in a game won in the trenches. Coach Kevin Thurman’s team was well prepared and returning back to health, although injured Ian Coffman was still sidelined but effective in watering the troops and Tyler Kemp was forced to cheer on the opponents from the sideline.
The coaches’ game plan was executed to perfection as the offense and defensive lines were tuned by assistants Jim Simonsen and Gregg Walther and spearheaded the victory. Perfection was also reflected in the fact that Cardinal did not commit a single turnover and had few penalties.
Cody Allison, Lloyd Bowar, Will Chapman, Kale Davis, Cody Page, Matt Sheppard, Dane Simonsen and Ken Walther created holes all game long that enabled Cardinal runners to be heroes and keep the chains moving.
Defensively it was the same dominating trenches story. When the defensive line that included many of the above athletes wasn’t tackling the opponents for losses or short yardage, the backers, ends and safeties were dishing out rough treatment. Luke Amstad solo’d to drop an OC runner for a deep loss and jumped in with Chris Rodarte on another loss. Rodarte also just missed a fumble recovery as well as having a TD-saving open field tackle. Bowar had a great solo tackle for a loss in the opponents opening drive but he wasn’t done as he recovered an OC fumble at the opponents 11 yard line that led to a Cardinal touchdown. Allison also registered a big sack in the first half.
As the shutout score showed, more defensive pressure existed. Anthony Monteferrante, Ryan Richardson, Zach Salton, Connor Thurman, Mathias Weislogel and Jeffrey Williams all joined in by meeting challenge after challenge inside and outside beautifully. Scott Allred got into the act as he returned the favor of a hard tackle on the opposing QB deep in the Cardinal red zone, rejecting the OC threat and giving the ball back to Tualatin. In the same drive Weislogel had a key pass breakup that forced a long yardage situation.
Aaron West made his presence known on a number of inside tackles in the second half just to make sure he didn’t miss any of the fun and Stephan Palmer was right there with him as they frustrated the opponents offense.
Big plays and a diverse workmanlike play call mix allowed the offense to sustain long drives. For starters, Zach Salton bobbed and weaved before bursting into the open on a 32 yard TD jaunt of a well disguised handoff from Allred to get the scoring started. Allred added the second Cardinal TD on a dash from the 5-yard line. Cardinal later capitalized on Bowar’s fumble recovery as Salton added icing to the cake with a determined 13 yard run in the second quarter with OC players hanging on for dear life. Williams zeroed in on the PAT kick to make the score 20-0 at the half and tacked on a 32 yard punt in the second half.
The second half was more of the same as the linemen in the trenches led the charge. Allred hooked up with Weislogel on a crafty exciting 16-yard pass that Allred disguised well. Weislogel turned the key gain into points later in the drive with a slashing, hammering run into the defense that found him standing after the 9-yard TD run. Connor Thurman’s fourth quarter running left another opponent demoralized.
Cardinal was content in the fourth quarter to stifle the opponent’s offense and let Thurman hammer away on the defense. Thurman finished the game with 41 tough inside yards. Monteferrante chipped in 18, Allred 26, Weislogel had 49, and Salton led the rushers with a workhorse-like 109 yards.
Cardinal prepares for a tough battle at neighboring Tigard this week.
Canby Blue 18, Tualatin varsity Black 12 (OT)
Tualatin Varsity Black played with intensity and heart Saturday and came up just short in an exciting overtime loss to Canby Varsity Blue by a score of 18-12.
Down 6-0 after a Canby touchdown on their opening offensive drive, Austin Green launched a booming punt from midfield that pinned the Canby offense back on their own 7 yard line. Facing third down and eight on the Canby 9 yard line, cornerback Kyle George picked off a Canby pass, giving the Tualatin offense the ball back on the Canby 5 yard line. Two plays later, offensive linemen Dakota Billington, Jamey Gates, Paul Sheffield, Cooper Sprunk, and Cody Summers gave quarterback Connor Scott the time he needed to complete a 10-yard touchdown pass to slot back Andrew Schlottmann to tie the game with 8:58 left in the second quarter.
Canby’s subsequent possessions in the first half were stuffed by a pressuring Tualatin defense. Facing fourth down and one on the Tualatin 23 yard line, linebackers Schlottmann and Brandon Yee and defensive end Green came up with a huge tackle in the Canby backfield to force a turnover on downs. Yee came up big again on Canby’s next possession, recovering a fumbled snap. The half ended with the score tied at 6 each.
The Tualatin defense successfully stopped the Canby offense twice in the third quarter and capitalized with a 54-yard touchdown drive to take the lead. Quarterback Scott started the drive with a 20-yard rushing gain, moving the ball to the Canby 34 yard line. On the next play, Scott and Schlottmann combined on a terrific option play to reach the end zone and take a 12 to 6 lead with 4:43 left in the third quarter.
The Tualatin defense stopped Canby on their next two possessions deep in Tualatin territory. Defensive linemen Tyler Baggenstos, Ryan Baron, Billington, Konner Cook, Gates, Tyler Riley, Sheffield, and Connor True did a fine job plugging up the holes up the middle. Green and Yee teamed up to force a turnover on downs with a big fourth down stop at the Tualatin 16 yard line. After a Tualatin punt, Canby marched down to the Tualatin three yard line before fumbling a snap, which was recovered by Schlottmann.
Unfortunately, poor field position resulted in Canby taking over at the Tualatin 32 yard line on their next possession. Five plays later, Canby tied the game up at 12 with 2:55 remaining in the game.
Tualatin and Canby both punted on their next possessions, with Tualatin getting the ball back at their own 21-yard line with 11 seconds left in the game. A 23-yard pass from Scott to George, at wide receiver, enabled the Wolves to reach midfield, but that was as far as they would get before time ran out in regulation.
The Tualatin defense and a Canby penalty resulted in Canby facing a fourth down and six on the Tualatin six yard line in their Kansas Plan possession in overtime. Canby then took an 18 to 12 lead by barely squeaking into the end zone. Tualatin’s possession started with a nice six-yard run by Scott, reaching the Canby four-yard line. An unfortunate fumble on the next play was recovered by Canby, ending the game.
Schlottmann, in his season debut following a broken collarbone, led the rushing attack for Tualatin, with Green and Scott also adding to Tualatin’s rushing total. On special teams, Yee provided Tualatin’s return yardage. Scott completed one additional pass in the game to Green. Wide receivers George, Jack McDonnell, and Derek Rodrigues worked hard to seal the downfield blocks for the Tualatin running game.
Safety Garrett Medvec and lineman Sheffield had terrific defensive games and led the team in tackles, followed by Green at defensive end, True on the line, Brandon Day at cornerback, and Schlottmann and Yee at linebacker. Also recording tackles in the game were cornerback George, defensive end Scott, linebacker Brennan Symes, and defensive linemen Baron, Gates, and Sprunk, and McDonnell and Riley on special teams. Day, Sprunk, True, and Yee combined on a terrific sack, and Gates, Green, Schlottmann, Sheffield, True, and Yee contributed to tackles for losses. Cornerback George broke up a deep Canby pass play late in the fourth quarter.
John Fishback, Derek Senger, and Randall Tainer were out with injuries and cheered their teammates on from the sideline.
Sunset Black 28, Tualatin Cardinal 6
Daniel Ennis, of the Tualatin Cardinal fifth/sixth-grade team, had a great game, starting with running the opening kickoff 15 yards to the Tualatin 43 yard line. However, Tualatin was held in check on its 1st series. Following a 25-yard punt from Steven Shockloss, Sunset returned the ball to the Tualatin 43 yard line. Sunset drove the ball down to the Tualatin 3 yard line on 8 consecutive rushing plays. Led by the hard hitting of Grant Philips, Tualatin held Sunset short of the end zone, forcing Sunset to turn the ball over on downs.
Deep in Tualatin territory, Mark Cepeda ground out several runs up the middle to move the chains and improve field position. Unfortunately a 25 yard punt by Steven Shockloss was negated by a 35 yard punt return for a TD by Sunset. The PAT kick was good for 2 points.
Shane Anderson returned the ensuing kickoff 10 yards to the Tualatin 40-yard line. Again, Tualatin moved the ball on the ground, but was forced to punt. Sunset scored again on 6 consecutive rushes for 65 yards. The PAT kick was thru the uprights for 2 pts. At the half, the score was Sunset 16, Tualatin 0.
Sunset scored on the first play of the second half on a 58-yard run. The PAT was blocked by Tualatin and it looked like momentum may change. However, Tualatin fumbled the kick return, Sunset recovered and marched down the field on 11 rushing plays, capped by a 5-yard TD run. The PAT was no good.
Daniel Ennis scored Tualatin’s first TD of the regular season on a 50-yard cutback move behind the excellent blocking of Tualatin‘s hard hitting offensive line, led by Kellin Poti, Ivan Vilcauskas, Connor McGrady, Oliver Price, and Ryan Hecker. The valiant PAT attempt by Shane Anderson was just short of the crossbar.
Tualatin gained confidence as Trevor Tilema recovered Tualatin’s onside kick. Tualatin gained six 1st downs and moved the ball well on the ground. Leading rushers for Tualatin were Vince Hendricks with 6 carries for 26 yards, Mark Cepeda with 13 rushes for 42 yards, and Daniel Ennis with a 50 yard TD. Tualatin massed a well balanced attack, with 31 rushes and 7 pass attempts. Trevor Tilema and Dakota Steppe shared QB responsibilities. Trevor Tilema completed 1 pass to Andrew Marshall for 9 yards, followed by an incomplete pass attempt that resulted in a 15 yard defensive pass interference penalty and Tualatin was knocking at the door again late in the fourth qtr, unfortunately to no avail.
Sunset Black prevailed, 28-6 over the Tualatin Cardinals. Leading tacklers for Tualatin were Daniel Ennis 4, Oliver Price 4, Grant Philips 3, Steven Shockloss 3, Kellin Poti, Ivan Vilcauskas, Shane Anderson, Jordan McGowan, and Austin Cuellar.

Tigard Green 35, Oregon City 12

Defensively, the Tigers held the Pioneers scoreless in the first half and gave up virtually zero positive yards. A lot of the Tigers’ defensive success can be attributed to the outstanding play of starting defensive linemen Jordan Fullerton, Sterling Roberts, Zane Woodard, Anthony Raye, and Josh Linder, who provided constant penetration in the backfield making it extremely difficult for the Pioneers to run inside or out.
Other outstanding defensive performances were turned in by linebackers Ryan Barlow, 9 tackles, Ryan Worthley, 8 tackles, and Kyle Nottingham’s, 6 tackles. Additionally, defensive tackles, Burke Albaugh, who chipped in with 6 tackles and Josh Pence-Jones ,who had 1 sack, gave little hope to the Pioneer offense. Cornerback, Luke Smith, also contributed with a leaping interception before halftime.
Offensively, the Tigers had their highest scoring output of the season, scoring 35 points. Wingback, Colby Williams-Oswill, had 5 carries for 123 yards and two touchdowns, in a dominating performance. Quarterback, Worthley, hooked up with wingback, Woodard, on a 25 yard touchdown pass, wingback, Brett Thomas, also scored on a 1 yard plunge, and fullback, Smith, also scored on a 30 yard run.
Next up, the Tigard Green team has its home opener of the season on Saturday against a tough Beaverton team.

Tigard Black 34, Liberty Blue 0
At Liberty High School the fifth/sixth-grade Black Tigard Youth Football team kept its winning streak going on Sept. 27 against Liberty Blue.
It didn’t seem to matter that they were not at their home field. For the first time this season the coaches were, by rule, not allowed to be on the field calling plays in team huddles. This also didn’t seem to matter as the offense was as potent as ever thanks to the talents and efforts of Dakota Holloway and William Johnson running the coaches calls onto the field. Our boys were able to execute on offense and stifle their opponent while playing defense. The final score was 34-0.
The Tigers started with the ball and proceeded down the field for the first score of the game by Michael Adkins, at the end of the contest his rushing total reached 66 yards. The defense took the field and stopped Liberty immediately. Confusion on the part of the officiating crew denied the Black Tigers a chance to convert on fourth and 3, well under their yards per carry average of 6.25. The defense would stop the opponent again and give the ball back to their offensive teammates. The next drive included slashing runs by Tanner Tropio who had 20 total yards and ended with a QB keeper for a TD by Brady McGetrick. It was the first of Brady’s 3 scores, while racking up 60 yards on the ground. During a defensive stand Alexander Treat knocked down a pass but nearly cradled it on its way to the turf, he wishes he had another chance at it.
The final drive of the second quarter kept alive Cary Watts, who turned in 22 yards, and J.D. Wack with one carry for 5 yards would have a familiar ending from Brady sprinting by, spinning around and dodging would be tacklers for his second score on the day. The score was 22 to 0 in favor of the Tigers at halftime.
At the start of the third quarter many position changes allowed second string players opportunities to show what they’re made of. The offense was able to piece together clock killing drives while managing to put up another score by Kevin Gress who would finish the day with 56 yards from scrimmage.
The defense, with less substitution, continued to dominate in the second half, with Eric Darden plugging up everything in the middle. David Schimmels reacting to an edge run “nailed” the ball carrier forcing a fumble that would be recovered by Carry Watts. Fielding a punt from his own 47 yard line Brady McGetrick beat all comers as he as he ran for daylight down the sideline and into the end zone, for his final score of the day.
Taking over as QB David Schimmels provided a rush for 3 yards, while Jake Sanders turned in 2 on another attempt. For the final offensive drive Cameron Smith who tallied 9 yards showed the crowd that tackling isn’t his only talent as time expired.
Kevin Gress led all tacklers with 6, followed by Carry Watts with 5 and David Schimmels with 4. Helping the team in the win with 3 tackles apiece were Jacobi Greenberg, Brady McGetrick, and Michael Adkins. Alexander Treat and Jacob Dettra each had 2 tackles, while one tackle apiece was turned in by Ethan Tingey and Cameron Smith who is also credited with a pass defense. “The team is really gelling” said coach Schimmels, “and achieving our goals.”
Sherwood Red 32, Wilsonville Blue 0
The Sherwood fifth/sixth-grade Red Knights defeated a persistent Wilsonville Blue on Saturday, shutting out the team 32-0.
Offensively, the Knights’ dominated the field at all times. Led by the astounding rushing expertise of Aidan Giasson, Brendan Wexted-Hand, Trenten Toivonen, Riley Castillo, and Reilly Heckenberg, with additional authoritative carries by Drew Peters, Sandis Chhay, Devon Chesebrough, Mitchel Mandel, Austin Tietsort, Stephen Powers, and Dylan Cole, the Sherwood team acquired an amazing 138 rushing yards. When added to Wexted-Hand’s completed passes to Connor Moody and Giasson, the Knights’ offensive charge garnered a total of 307 yards for the day. Kobee Crown took a hard hit on a returned Wilsonville punt, and Tietsort added to the score with a successful PAT kick.
Equally authoritative was the defensive assault, with Giasson offering up 9 tackles, followed closely by Saul Urzua with 7 and Castillo with 5. Other takedowns by Robert Micich, Connor Dougall, Jeremy Sather, Riley Ahrenkiel, Sean Allen, and Quentin Kelley, along with teammates Moody, Powers, Peters, Wexted-Hand, and Tietsort held the Wilsonville team to only 22 yards gained for the day. Max Ahrenkiel lent his assistance to the defensive battering. Castillo’s early interception helped get the Knights’ momentum going, and an exciting third quarter interception by Chhay resulted in an impenetrable wall of red as the Knights’ escorted him down the field, helping to keep the team’s energy high. A fourth quarter interception by Giasson reaped in a late score for the Sherwood team.
Mitchell Cluff, Andrew Teesdale & Max Eastman, provided unwavering support for the Knights’ team on both sides of the line. An injured Kai Stephens cheered on his teammates from the sidelines and will be back in action next week.
The Red Knights are excited to host Canby White next Saturday at 11 a.m.
Congratulations to Riley Ahrenkiel for this week’s Black
Knight honors.
Brooks earns Black Knight honor
The Black Knight award for the Sherwood fifth/sixth-grade Black Knights goes to Matthew “Hammer Time” Brooks. The Black Knights acquired the motto “Be The Hammer Not The Nail” from the SHS football team. During the game last Saturday Matthew basically used the entire Beaverton football team as nails. 14 different times he drove those nails in the ground (meaning, he compiled 14 tackles on defense, 4 of those were for a loss). On offense Matthew continued the punishment of his defensive opponents by drive blocking like a Mac Truck.
Matthew’s leadership on and off the field is one of the main reasons the 5/6 Black Knights pulled together, rose up and came back to win the game against Beaverton. Matthew plays a key role on both sides of the ball.
Matthew is continuously called upon to lead the offensive charge whether he is pulling on a sweep, trapping on a run or blocking to provide his QB time to complete a pass. His instincts and situational awareness are a combination of skills that make him so effective. He causes so much havoc on defense that he frequently sets the tone of the game single handedly.
Matthew provides the rare skill of bringing out the best in every teammate. To accomplish this, Matthew is always willing to do the “dirty work” by getting in the action on every play and providing his teammates the support they need. He is an excellent student, a great kid and an absolute pleasure to have on our team.
Congratulations Matthew on this honor and we look forward
to many more great achievements this season.
Sherwood Cardinal 34, Liberty Gold 0
The Sherwood fifth/sixth-grade Cardinal team racked up 189 yards of passing and 258 yards rushing for 447 yards of total offense. Twelve different Sherwood players carried the ball for critical yardage.
However, it was the defense that set the tone early. Carl Lyon and Tommy Paul intercepted Liberty passes to get the ball back for Sherwood. Later the solid play of Spencer Doubrava, Carl Lyon, Nick Tipton, Chase Crawford, Jackson Grubbe, Ryan Larson, Dakota Langan, Sean Scroggin, Austin Chaffee-Poor and William Glover closed the door on the Liberty passing game altogether. The defense worked hard with great tackles and blocking coming from Matthew Springer, Justin Humphrey, Bradley West, Jacob Vincent, Logan Shelton, Cameron Silver, Trenton Lapp, Chris Schapp, Jedediah Babcock and Nathan Meinz.
Trenton Lapp delivered an impressive blow to stop the Liberty Falcons in their tracks; William Glover motivated the offense with a key block on a pass play to the outside that netted a 20 yard gain. Jess Hatfield led the ground attack with 77 yards rushing and 2 touchdowns. Hekker added yards and 2 more touchdowns while Nazaret Solis added a 12 yard touchdown run to the Sherwood tally. Jacob Church, Tommy Paul, Nick Tipton and Spencer Doubrava added more yards rushing to complete the ground assault.
Both Doubrava and Larson did a great job receiving punts and running hard against the Liberty defenders. In the air Crawford connected with Grubbe for a 10 yard gain, while Hekker threw to Paul, Milligan, Langan and Scroggin for substantial gains. The Sherwood Cardinal team played 4 quarters of solid football, congratulations Sherwood Cardinals.
Sherwood Gray 34, Tualatin Black 14
The Sherwood fifth/sixth-grade Gray football team defeated Tualatin Black Saturday night at Tualatin High School 34 – 14. Sherwood marched down the field on their first possession behind quarterback Jack Hollin. Evan Kitto bowled his way in from the 1 yard line for Sherwood’s first touchdown of the day. Jakob Eisenbeiss ran in the PAT for a 7 – 0 lead for Sherwood. On their next possession, Sherwood again marched down the field with Eisenbeiss scoring from the 1 yard line. Kitto ran in the PAT for a 14 -0 lead. Sherwood’s defense shut down Tualatin on their first two possessions. However, when Sherwood took over on their third possession, Tualatin picked up a fumble and ran it back for a touchdown to pull with in 14 – 8 at halftime.
In the third quarter behind linemen CJ Alley, Kaidyn Barnes, Hunter Ladd, Dayton Vaughn, Ethan Valetski, and Black Knight recipient Travis Varin, Sherwood scored on their fifth play of the second half on a 26 yard run by Kitto. Eisenbeiss ran in the PAT to take a 21 -8 lead. After a Tualatin touchdown, Sherwood turned the ball over on downs to allow Tualatin to hang in the game. However, Sherwood’s defense was too tough for Tualatin. Sherwood forced Tualatin to punt, and Kitto returned it 46 yards for Sherwood and a 28 – 14 lead.
In the forth quarter, Sherwood put the game away on another touchdown by Kitto that was set up by Austin Shadbolt’s 25 yard run down to the four yard line. Sherwood’s defense dominated Tualatin all day. Sherwood safety Caleb Carter secured the victory with an interception late in the game. The final score was Sherwood 34 and Tualatin 14. Sherwood improved their record to 4-0 to set up another tough game next week vs Wilsonville Silver at Wilsonville High School.
Sherwood JV Black 6, Oregon City Red 2
On a perfect night for football the Sherwood JV Black Knights came away with their first victory of the season over a well-prepared, hard-nosed JV team from Oregon City. Sherwood was able to move the football on its first three drives with great running by fullback Spencer Clay, Garret Heckenberg, Cole Vessey and Jordon Hodney.
The Offensive line should be credited with great upfront blocking led by the Black Knight Winner Parker Goedecke, Jacob Keeth, Brea Reiss, Andrew Rice, Robbie Ahrenkiel, while halfback Vessey turned in his best blocking performance of the year opening holes for his teammates.
It wasn’t until the second quarter that Sherwood hit pay-dirt after several successful pass completions from strong -armed quarterback Kevin Larkin to his sure-handed wide receiver, Tyler Nichols. This helped to set up Clay’s touchdown plunge from 2 yards out, and gave Sherwood a 6-0 halftime lead.
All day long Sherwood’s defense came to play. Against a strong Oregon City running and passing attack, the Knights were able to keep them out of the end zone the whole game. Amazing defense performances were turned in by defensive tackle Jordon Kurahara with several sacks and tackles for losses. He was helped by linebackers Clay, Larkin, Rice and safety Heckenberg. The defensive backs of Nichols, Colton Baker and Nicholas Wagner also did an excellent job putting themselves in a position to make plays.
The game came down to the wire with Oregon City having the ball on the Sherwood 11, the score 6-2 and seven seconds on the clock. Sherwood was able to hold on for one last play to escape with the hard fought victory against an excellent Oregon City team.
Westview 30, Sherwood varsity Black 6
The Sherwood Varsity Black Knights fought hard at home on Saturday’s battle of the undefeated varsity teams, but ultimately fell short to a strong Westview squad. The scoreboard remained blank until late in the first quarter when Westview was able to capitalize on Sherwood penalties that left them in great field position. Christian Morris flew through the defenders to block the Pat leaving Westview with 6 points on the board.
The Sherwood defense played their hearts out for the entire game, but really shone through in the second quarter with a backfield fumble recovery by Jordan Skoubo and a blocked punt by Morris. The blocked punt left Sherwood in good field position and two plays later, Morris turned the opportunity into 6 points. Additional defensive pressure was brought to bear by Jacob Brooks, Andy Hennings, Brandon Whitely, Nick Rowlands, Joe Chamberlain, Reggie Lee and Harrison Shelburne who had a critical fumble recovery in the second half.
The score stayed knotted at 6 until 9 seconds left in the half when a Westview hail mary found a receiver before time expired. Other than giving up those six points, the Sherwood secondary of Grant McLaughlin, Chaz Jardine, Joeseph Balfour, Tyler Aytes and Marcus Campbell did a great job of blanketing the Westview receivers all night long.
Offensive yards were hard earned but were made possible with solid work from our line including big efforts by Mitchell Brannen, David Villalpando, Austin Scoggin, Rowlands, Whitely, Brooks, Chamberlain and Hennings. From the backfield, Campbell lead all carriers even after leaving the game with an injury in the second half. Other critical yards were delivered by Alex Barzee, Balfour, Skoubo, and Morris who also had a 17 yard reception in the game.
The Varsity Knight’s look to improve in every situation, and this first loss of the year is no different. They will continue to grow as a team and look forward to taking the field next Saturday at Liberty.
West Linn Black 36, Sherwood White 6
The Sherwood third/fourth-grade White team had a difficult day at home last Saturday when it met up against a very strong West Linn team. West Linn started off the game with good field position following the opening kick off, and kept a drive to the end zone alive with a key third and long run that set up a ten yard touch down pass the following play. This would be the first of three touchdown drives on West Linn’s first three possessions of the game. Sherwood had not seen a passing attack as good as West Linn’s, which went to the air for two additional scores later in the game.
West Linn’s aggressive and quick defense also stifled Sherwood’s offense. However, Sherwood was able to take advantage of the sole turnover of the game by West Linn midway through the third quarter, which was recovered by Sherwood’s Kadyn Lauer on the West Linn 26 yard line. This helped spark Sherwood’s offense, which followed with a pass completion to Kade Bergstedt and a 21 yard run by Kayd Wessels. These set up Sherwood’s lone score of the day, when Jason Bemis punched the ball in for a touchdown behind the strong blocking of Travis Spreen, Jack Johnson and Brett Rath. Daniel Lehman’s extra point attempt fell just below the uprights, leaving the score 22-6, but leaving Sherwood some hope that it could mount a comeback.
While Sherwood kept West Linn scoreless in the third quarter, West Linn was able to find the end zone two more times in the fourth quarter by taking advantage of breakdowns in Sherwood’s defense. Despite the score, Sherwood got strong defensive play out of Bemis, Lauer, Lehman, Johnson, Jarrett Joy, Thomas Dehning and Spencer Brown.
Sherwood JV White 26, Wilson 6
The Sherwood JV White football team ran their record to 4-0 with a 26-6 victory over Wilson.

Tigard JV Black 28, Sherwood JV Red 14
The Sherwood JV Red Knights battled hard against a tough Tigard squad Saturday night. Keegan Lawrence got the momentum going the Red Knight’s way when he stripped the ball from the Tigard runner during the opening kick off of the second half. Parker Branz put the Red Knight’s on the board with a 32 yard run that would have made LT proud. Shortly there after Lucas Johnson completed a 38 yard pass to Nic Clarke.
On the very next play Clarke scampered down field 30 yards to the Tigard 2 yard line. Branz put an exclamation point on the drive powering in for the score on the next play. Jorge Figueroa completed the scoring with the 2 pt PAT. Also contributing to the Red Knight’s offensive attack were: Scott Skurdahl – 33 yards rushing, Lawrence – 20 yards rushing. Offensive lineman Travis Kotowski, Ryan Jurgens, Taylor Crowell, Ben Vanderzanden, Black Knight Evan Castillo, Andrew Mestre, Grant Robinette and Nic Aspen contributed to the Knight’s rushing attack with their physical presence at the line of scrimmage.

West Linn Navy 34, Sherwood Cardinal 6
It was a beautiful day for football this past Saturday in Sherwood. With the shine of their beautiful new stadium in the background, the Sherwood third/fourth-grade Cardinals faced their toughest opponent all season. The score didn't reflect the heart and determination showed by all on the Sherwood team. They had worked hard all week on special teams and it showed.
Sherwood was tested with six "on-side" kicks which were all successfully covered without turnover. The passing game provided a highlight in the second quarter with a 20 yard completion for first down. And, the running game excited all with a 50 yard touch down run around the left end. Overall, the team rallied against adversity and showed their true team spirit by sticking together and staying positive until the final whistle.
West Linn had some help this past Thursday with two of Sherwood's starters out due to the flu. Another injury early in the game put the challenge squarely on Shewood's remaining players to rally. One player tapped to fill some very big shoes was Third Grader Jack Murphy who learned that he would start just moments before the game. He started at both Left Guard and Middle Lineback and showed tremendous heart. Jack demonstrated his courage going up against an opposing player that outweighted him by 100 pounds. He fought on every play contributing strongly on both sides of the ball. His hard hitting and persistent blocking helped Jack to stand-out this week and earned him the honor of the week four Black Knight award. Congratulations for setting a great example of how to play tough on every down!
The Sherwood 3-4 Cardinal faces Beaverton Orange next Saturday at Beaverton High School.
