On Saturday, Sept. 20, coach Jim Hungerford’s Tigard Green team decidedly beat Oregon City 35–12. It was an impressive effort with many of the teams’ players making solid contributions.
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.
The Tigard JV Black team used a rugged Defense and efficient Offense against a determined Sherwood JV Red team and came out with a 28-14 victory.
The Tigard JV Black Offense was led by Joe Lobbato, who churned for extra yards on every play and 2 Touchdowns on the day.
Jett Even connected with Cameron Yarnell on a well timed TD pass play. Braxton Latt also threw an excellent pass to Ray Barlow for the final Touchdown. Justin Alvarizares used his quick feet and moved the ball downfield on each and every play. The Offensive Line and Wide-Outs also contributed key blocks with the Tigard ground and air attack including McLain Bartley, Ryan Cleveland, Ray Barlow, John Ellavsky, Jacob Mullen, EJ Albaugh, Nathan Wick, and Janek Ward.
The Tigard JV Black Defense was led by the solid D line play of Jacob Mullen and Janek Ward. Connor Lebrun, McLain Bartley, and Jimmy Robinson also led the D line team effort throughout the campaign. The linebacker trio of Jett Even, Cameron Yarnell, and Joe Lobbato led the tackling effort on the day.
Ryan Cleveland and Justin Alvarizares also made key tackles and stops from their Cornerback positions. Braxton Latt flew to the ball and made vicious tackles to ensure ball carriers were out of bounds. Cameron Yarnell also had an ear popping tackle on the day. Austin Koch, Joshua Kutcher, EJ Albaugh, John Ellavsky, Cameron Browning also contributed on assisted tackles during the day.
Jacob Mullen led the special teams with 2 converted extra points. Ray Barlow also connected with Justin Alvarizares on a perfectly executed fourth-down play. Tyler Woodworth and Jimmy Robinson also pounced on onside kicks on the day, while Ryan Cleveland almost recovered an onside kick.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Sherwood JV White football team ran their record to 4-0 with a 26-6 victory over Wilson. Sherwood was led by it’s stingy defense, Colton Waker had 3 interceptions, Cody Jacot returned a fumble for a touchdown as well as Charlie Paul and Brandon Brouse both recovering fumbles. Strong defensive performances were also turned in by Jake Reimer, Tanner Schadbolt, Martin Layna, AJ Smith, and Mickey Schaefer.
Sherwood’s offense was clicking led by Jake Reimer who had 51 yards rushing and scored 2 touchdowns, Tyler Booth did a good job managing the offense. Jacob Ringer and Nate Christler both did a great job at fullback.
The offensive line did a very good job against the large Wilson defensive front. The offensive line was led by this week’s Black Knight winner Ethan Scheirman as well as strong performances by Austin Desert, Harrison Mcbride, Jeff Knight and Hunter Jackson.
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. Tristan Flint, Andy Beaudoin and Blake Peterson showed tremendous effort with several key blocks from the wide receiver spot.
Austin Goldstein lead the defensive charge with 10 tackles….1 of which was for a loss! Castillo contributed 9 tackles…2 of which were for a loss!! Lawrence added 8 tackles while Kotowski and Skurdahl recorded 6 tackles apiece. Alex Wacker and Nic Dickson had 4 tackles apiece. Crowell, Branz, Clarke and Aspen also recorded tackles on the day. Jose Miglavs and Bryce Seibold added to the Red Knight’s defensive performance showing great improvement over the previous weeks.
The Sherwood JV Red Knights are back in action against the St. Helens JV Lions 7pm Saturday at Sherwood H.S.
Sherwood fifth/sixth-grade White hosted Barlow White Saturday at Sherwood High School. Sherwood would kick-off to Barlow to start the game and hold Barlow on their first offensive possession. Sherwood would march down field and score with Quarterback Justin Schwarm running the last 22 yards for the touchdown. Barlow would answer and having the extra point blocked to make the score 8-6 Sherwood.
The next three quarters Sherwood's offense would not be stopped racking up over 200 yards and close to 100 yards passing, on their way to a 36-20 win. Jacob spurgeon, schwarm, and Derek Snyder all had good rushing yards for Sherwood. Sherwood's offensive line which included Adam Olsen, Cully Clark, Conner Carlson, Tanner Dillree, Justin Meyer, Micheal Stocker and Zac Rome had outstanding games blocking for Sherwood.
Dillree and Clark also recored Interceptions for Sherwood's Defense. Brandon Lovell, Olsen and Spurgeon had a good receiving game while Schwarm was picking apart the Barlow Defense. Defensively Sherwood was lead by Olsen with six tackles and Schwarm, Jack Ferner, Clark, Ryan Nolan, Snyder, Carlson, Andrew Rivera, Dillree and Justin Meyer with four or more each for the defense.
The third/fourth-grade Sherwood Gray started out with the ball first and had a great first quarter run moving the ball 63 yards ending in a touchdown. Our defense showed great intensity by producing 43 tackles by Colton Carroll, Andrew Edmunds, Chase Bitz, Carson Brinkley, Jordan Troccoli, Jensen Dowdle, Anthony Humphreys, Owen Grubbe, Dawson Burris, Dallas O’Bryan, Tyler Christensen, and David Morris. Sherwood Grey’s defense held Wilsonville scoreless until mid-way through the second quarter.
Wilsonville scored 24 unanswered points just before the half. Sherwood came out ready to play in the second half holding Wilsonville to only 8 points with a solid defensive stand. After great adversity Sherwood Grey played a good game against Wilsonville Silver with a 32 to 6 lose. Sherwood Grey linemen, Jensen Dowdle, Anthony Humphreys, Griffen Stevens, Payton Churilla, Jayden Cuthbertson, Dawson Burris, Dallas O’Bryan, Ethan Stevens, and David Morris created large running lanes for the running backs, Matt Seitz, Colton Carroll, Jordan Troccoli, and Michael Smith, accumulated 157 yards of rushing.
Andrew Edmunds connected twice to Bailey Smith for 35 yards of receiving. On kick return Colton Carroll and Anthony Humphreys accumulated 23 yards of rushing.
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.
