Ferris vs. Mt Spokane
FERRIS CHALLENGED BY MT. SPOKANE
Wildcats give Saxons a game

The Ferris Saxons faithful know that for the the Saxons to make a run in the post season they need to have some close games and get tested. The Saxons got a little taste of that last Friday when they played the Mt Spokane Wildcats and won 30-22. The Saxons overcame a sluggish start, in fact were held scoreless for the first quarter of the game, then exploded in the second quarter for 21 points and held on for the victory.

Turnovers were a big part of the game. The Saxons were plus two in that category. They picked off the Mt Spokane QB 3 times and recovered a fumble. Andrew Weigand recovered that fumble and had two of the interceptions. The Saxons were able to capitalize on those turnovers and put some points on the board.

Once he got through the first quarter, QB Conner Halliday got going and had a big game offensively. He threw for 272 yards, 3 TD's and ran for a score. Aaron Roberts had 115 yards and a TD, while Garrett Saiki had 2 TD's of his own.

However, Mt Spokane would not go away. Towards the end of the 4th quarter, they had a nice drive that concluded with a 3 yard TD run and they got the 2-point conversion. They would get the ball back for one final effort which came up short.

OLD MAN MINN NOTES: Hats off to the Mt Spokane team, they battled the entire game even when they were down 30-14 with 6 minutes to go....the Saxons didn't score in the first quarter - that's the only quarter this year that they haven't scored....In the previous three games the Saxons have outscored their opponents 120-19 - pretty impressive....The Saxons were without one of their leaders for the second half as Nate Tonani was injured and did not return to the game...The Saxons had butterfingers this game - there were 6 Ferris fumblers, thankfully only one turnover out of those fumbles....Ferris has trailed only once this season, for about 2 mins, and that was against Prep in the first quarter.....Ferris and CV remain the only undefeated teams in the GSL...Next, the Saxons travel to Eastmont (East Wenatchee) next Friday night for a non-league game
