Jesuit (Beaverton) trounced traditional power Tigard, 56-21, while Lincoln (Portland) soundly thumped their second-straight ranked opponent, defeating Tualatin 28-7.
ÿ
Jesuit's Paul Weatheroy gained 185 yards on 17 carries for the undefeated Crusaders (4-0), including three touchdown runs of five, 31 and 64 yards. His backfield mate, Raphiel Lambert, had 139 yards on seven carries, and accounted for three scores in the romp over the Tigers (0-4).
ÿ
Lincoln's win at Tualatin started slowly for the Cardinals (3-0), who arrived just a half hour before the scheduled game time due to a late bus. But Lincoln's defense was more than on-time, shutting out the normally prolific Tualatin offense until yielding a touchdown with less than a minute left in the ballgame.
ÿ
Lincoln rolled up 320 yards of total offense in the contest. They have not lost a regular season football game since the 2003 season.
