 The Newberg High School football team find out the hard way that Tigard is
a team to contend with in the Pac-9 Conference. Tigard dominated Newberg 41-9 in an away
game Friday.
Newberg looked to make it a game early, though. After stopping Tigard on its
opening drive Newberg took the ball at its own 21 yard line with 9:03 remaining in the
first quarter. Newberg immediately earned serious yardage thanks to running back Sam
Schmitz when on a reverse he ran the ball 35 yards down to the Tigard 28.
Two plays later senior Jeremy Quinby, on a halfback option, heaved it
to senior Ian Roholt for the game’s first touchdown with 5:33 remaining in the
quarter.
Tigard wasted little time bouncing back. The Tigers’ Mitch McClelland
capped off a long drive with a 15-yard scamper up the middle to tie the game with 3:17
remaining in the quarter.
From there on out it was all Tigard.
McClelland scored later in the quarter on a 25-yard up the middle with 12
seconds remaining in the quarter. The score put Newberg in a 14-7 hole, one it would never
recover from.
After Newberg took over the ball and looked as if it would tie the game,
junior quarterback Brad Johnson threw into coverage and saw his passed intercepted at the
Tigard 2 yard line.
Tigard took over and Newberg’s defense looked as if it would hold when
it forced Tigard into a third down and nine from deep in its own territory. But a roughing
the passer penalty gave Tigard new life. They went on to complete a 98-yard drive, capped
by a 5-yard touchdown run by Joey Nobriga with 7:46 remaining in the half.
Tigard added two more touchdowns in the third quarter, along with two field
goals in the fourth quarter to put the game away.
Newberg returns to action Friday with a home game against Tualatin. |
