Forest Grove and Thurston go head to head on Friday at 7:00 PM in their first playoff match of the year. Forest Grove have seen their point totals decreasing over the past three games, a vulnerability Thurston are surely hoping to exploit.
After a string of six wins, Thurston's good fortune finally ran out last Friday. It was a hard-fought matchup, but they had to settle for a 20-28 defeat against Churchill. On a positive note, junior Cade Crist put forth a good effort for the losing side as he snatched 2 receiving TDs and accumulated 153 passing yards. If you haven't heard Crist's name lately, then you haven't been paying much attention: he has loomed large in Thurston past seven games.
Meanwhile, it was just another Friday night under the lights for Forest Grove, who beat Hood River Valley 13-0.
Forest Grove's win lifted them to 6-3 while Thurston's loss dropped them down to 6-3. We'll find out if Forest Grove can add another positive mark to their record or if Thurston can shake off the loss and take the spring out of Forest Grove's step.
