Preview: Wilsonville vs. Thurston
Wilsonville will take on Thurston in each of the teams' fourth playoff game at 2:30 PM on Saturday. Wilsonville have bulldozed their previous ten opponents, so Thurston might have their hands full.
Wilsonville might be getting used to good results now that the team has 12 wins in a row. They made easy work of West Albany last Saturday and carried off a 28-7 win. Senior Nathan Overholt, who picked up 108 yards on the ground on 8 carries and accumulated 211 passing yards, was a major factor in Wilsonville's success. Overholt has now scored at least one touchdown in the past 12 games.
Meanwhile, Thurston earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing last week. They were the clear victor by a 51-30 margin over Pendleton. Thurston were expected to win, but the margin was definitely larger than the state rankings had forecast.
Their wins bumped Wilsonville to 12-0 and Thurston to 9-3. Since neither squad is a stranger to landslide victories this season, you'd better bet it will be hard-fought showdown.
