Siuslaw advances in playoffs
By Staff Reports
Sunday, November 09, 2008 | No comments posted.
Siuslaw advanced in the Class 4A playoffs by holding off a late Henley rally for a 16-13 victory at Florence on Friday.
It was the sixth straight year the Vikings have won a home playoff game.
Next up is a contest at Sky-Em champion Marist this week.
Siuslaw appeared to have the game in hand when Mike Bradley recovered a Henley fumble and kicked a field goal moments later to give Siuslaw a 16-6 lead with 3 minutes, 26 seconds to go.
But Henley quickly scored on a hook-and-ladder pass play. Quarterback John Cullen connected with Jordan Brewster. The Henley receiver then pitched to teammate Casey Evans, who completed the 29-yard touchdown with 2:54 remaining.
Henley forced the Vikings to punt, but ran out of time, when Evans was tackled on the final play at Siuslaw’s 27-yard line.
Siuslaw quarterback Jacob Mitchell scored both the Vikings’ touchdowns, on a 6-yard run in the first quarter and a 1-yard keeper early in the fourth. Mitchell finished with 98 yards rushing, but just 72 passing.
Henley scored just before halftime on a 23-yard pass from Cullen to Brewster, pulling the Hornets within 7-6.
Henley finished with 340 yards, to 267 for Siuslaw.
