(CR Sports) - On Friday, River football took on the Woodland Beavers in an exciting match that would see the Columbia River win, by a final score of 26-20. The win was the first year for River, and to many, an upset against, an at-the-time, 1-0 Woodland Beavers. This win has massive implications for River as it made the team 1-1 on the year.
Coming out of the break, the second half started with three total punts from both sides combined until River running back, Savion McCoy broke one big for a 49-yard touchdown, to put River up 26-13. However, Woodland knew that they needed a fourth-quarter comeback, and it looked as if they would get it, as Brett Martynowicz scored on a 1-yard quarterback. Then, outside linebacker Jackson Lindsay got an interception which gave Woodland possession on their 47-yard line. However, on that offensive drive for Woodland, River cornerback, Reece Mickel got an interception, helping River run off the rest of the clock and win.
Friday’s win propels River’s record to 1-1, giving them much-needed momentum as they face R.A. Long next Friday (9/29) at Longview Memorial Stadium. Come out and show your support!_____________________________________

The game started with an onside kick by Woodland, which they recovered. However, the River defense forced a punt, but after marching into field-goal range, an attempted field goal kick was botched and scooped up and scored by the Beavers to give them an early, 6-0 lead. The first quarter ended up with River safety, Joey Pena, intercepting Woodland quarterback Brett Martynowicz, to set up River’s first touchdown, as running back, Chris Parkin, threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver, Hayden Rapp to put River up 7-6.
Early in the second quarter, the Woodland offense moved right down the field, with running back Elijah Anderson capping off the drive with a 28-yard receiving touchdown, putting up Woodland, 13-7. However, the River offense, quickly retaliated with a 66-yard touchdown pass from quarterback, Ethan Long, to tight-end, Jacob Boothe, to tie the game 13-13. Then, late in the first half, Ethan Long found a wide-open Ha’aheo Delarose, to score a 76-yard touchdown to put River up 20-13 going into the half.
