Garrett Willenberg scored on a short run to pull the Pioneers even, 14-14, and Torres’ long field goal made it 17-14. Willenberg scored a second touchdown, with 22 seconds left, to seal the win.

After the Raiders (4-2, 2-2) took a 21-18 lead with two minutes left, the Scots converted three fourth downs on their possession before the Raiders made an interception to quash the threat.
The Scots’ Caleb Clardy ran for a score, caught a touchdown pass and forced and recovered a fumble to set up one of his touchdowns. Clardy left in the second half with an injury, however, and the Scots felt his absence as the Raiders rallied.

With the Jaguars (2-4, 0-2 Pacific Conference) leading 23-20 with less than two minutes left, the Crimson Tide (2-4, 1-1) apparently fumbled the ball away on fourth down. But an inadvertent whistle gave them another shot, and this time they converted and went on to take the lead on a touchdown run by Trevor O’Leary.
A 45-yard catch by Maliq Smith set up O’Leary’s winning score.
The Jaguars regained possession with 31 seconds left but couldn’t get farther than the Crimson Tide 32-yard line.
Elijah Garcia carried 31 times for 201 yards and a touchdown that put the Jaguars ahead 23-20 with 2:31 left.

Lake Oswego 37, Oregon City 22
Calvin Macy ran for two touchdowns and Liam Davis passed for a score, all in the first quarter, to get the Lakers (4-2, 1-1 Three Rivers League) rolling in the win over the visiting Pioneers (3-3, 0-2).

The Olympians blocked two Titans punts before West Salem (0-6, 0-4) clawed back and forged a 21-21 tie. The Titans’ comeback was fueled by a blocked kick of their own, by Cody Warren, leading to an end zone recovery by Aiden DeWitt. Later, Conner Oertel made a 30-yard touchdown catch to pull the Titans into a 21-21 tie.
Drew Rodriguez had a touchdown catch for the Olympians.

Roosevelt 35, Lincoln 27 (3OT)
Dontrell Betts scored on the first snap of the third overtime, and JaMarrion Causey intercepted the Cardinals’ fourth-down pass to seal the host Roughriders’ win in North Portland.
Betts exploited the play of linemen Sea and Vai Takau to post a big game on the ground for the Roughriders (3-3, 3-1 Portland Interscholastic League), who got impactful play on both sides of the line of scrimmage from Nywaun Campbell.
Emmett Togni had both a rushing and receiving touchdown for the Cardinals (1-5, 1-3) of Southwest Portland. The play of defensive end Moroni Seely-Roberts prompted the Roughriders to run away from his side, Cardinals coach Matt Caruso said, but he still made multiple tackles for loss.
“Going to three overtimes really tests a team’s resiliency, and I’m extremely proud of our guys,” Caruso said in a text, mentioning that the Cardinals were without key starters on both sides of the ball. “The fight that this team has and the support they give each other is immense. We’ve had back-to-back games come down to the wire, and both times we came up just short. We are poised to finish the season strong as we now have great experience throughout the depth chart, and our missing starters will be healthy for next week.”
Cleveland 16, McDaniel 15
Sean McCormick scored on a pass play of more than 50 yards and Jamel Pinchon scored on a 70-yard run and two conversions for the Warriors (2-4, 1-3 Portland Interscholastic League) of Southeast Portland in the win over the host Mountain Lions (0-6, 0-4) in Northeast Portland.
The Mountain Lions led 15-0 before McCormick’s touchdown. Pinchon’s long score and second conversion came midway through the third quarter. The Mountain Lions threatened to retake the lead but saw drives fizzle.
Jake Brewer had a 50-yard touchdown run, passed for a score and finished with 229 yards of total offense for the Mountain Lions.
