Ryker Rohaley threw three touchdown passes, including the go-ahead score to Myles with 9:47 left. A 16-yard third-and-7 completion to Wong then sealed it. Keaton Welch, Sheldon's Wildcat quarterback, ran in two scores.
“I think it's just a mentality thing. Like, I'm going to score here. No one's going to stop me.”
- Cody Hall: 125 rushing yards on 21 carries
- Welch: eight rushing touchdowns on the year
- Next: No. 4 Tualatin, Nov. 13
