THE DALLES — Crook County ended its football season on a high note Friday night, besting The Dalles-Wahtonka 16-12 in Intermountain Conference play.

The Cowboys finish their season 3-7 overall and 1-6 in the IMC.

Though it was a tough year for Crook County, first-year coach Woody Bennett said he was proud of the Cowboys’ final showing.

“Our defense played tremendous,” Bennett said.

The Cowboys’ defensive pressure caused four Eagle Indian turnovers.

After the home team took a 6-0 lead in the first quarter, the Cowboys bounced back in the second period, scoring 14 points and shutting down The Dalles-Wahtonka.

A scoreless third quarter left Crook County with a 14-6 lead before the visitors broke the game open in the final period by scoring two more touchdowns.

The Cowboys tallied 215 yards on the ground, and Rodney Leasy rushed for two touchdowns in the road win.

HILLSBORO — Matt Robertson pass for 248 yards and two touchdowns off the bench for the Panthers in Mountain View’s final regular-season game. The Panthers (7-2 overall), who trailed 26-7 entering the fourth quarter, narrowed Century’s lead to 26-21, but failed to recover a late onside kick.

Panthers running back Taylor Johnson rushed for 419 yards on 33 carries, including a touchdown run with 1:09 remaining that, with a two-point conversion, put Redmond on top 50-49. But the Olympians (4-2 CVC, 4-6 overall) answered with a drive of 61 yards capped by Jeff Kidd’s seven-yard touchdown pass to Jeff Weisenhaus for the go-ahead score.

SISTERS — A late drive aided by untimely Sisters penalties resulted in the winning touchdown for the visiting Lions in the Sky-Em League season finale for the Outlaws.

The Outlaws (1-5 Sky-Em, 4-5 overall) were up 26-17 in the third quarter when Nick Head ran five yards for his second touchdown of the night. But Cottage Grove fashioned two fourth-quarter touchdown drives, the second resulting in the go-ahead TD with four minutes remaining. Outlaw quarterback Chase Kleint rushed for 137 yards on 19 carries and completed six of 11 passes for 96 yards with one interception and a touchdown.

Small schools in the playoffs

* Culver hosts Weston-McEwen in the first round of the Class 2A state playoffs on Saturday, Nov. 8.

• Gilchrist plays at either Crane or St. Paul on either Nov. 7 or 8 in the first round of the Class 1A postseason. The Grizzlies (6-2 league and overall) must wait for the outcome of today’s game between Triad and North Lake. If Triad wins, Gilchrist falls to No. 3 in Special District 2 and plays at Crane. A Triad loss would put the Grizzlies in Special District 2’s No. 2 spot, which would give Gilchrist a first-round game at St. Paul.
