BURLINGTON – Dominating the lines of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, the Burlington-Edison Tigers outscored Sedro-Woolley 38-7 in the season opener for both teams Friday, Sept. 4, webcast live on SkagitRadio.com.
Running backs Mikey Sanchez, Cody Larson and Damon Acoba each scored touchdowns and found big holes opened up by a huge Tigers’ offensive line featuring five seniors from tackle to tackle, while quarterback Dylan Boe connected on 10 of 17 passes for 178 yards and two touchdowns, numbers that could easily have been even better if not for a few dropped passes, two of which appeared to have been potential touchdowns.
Led by junior noseguard Jack Nevitt’s seven tackles, the Burlington-Edison defensive line held Cubs QB Derek Garcia to just 79 yards and 2.9 yards per carry on 27 attempts. Garcia scored S-W’s touchdown and finished with 162 yards of total offense, completing 11 of 16 passed for 93 yards, eight of those to tight-end Kellen Engberg.
B-E all-state kicker Andrew Furney capped the scoring with a 45 yard field goal and was perfect on five extra-points.
Burlington-Edison will play Sehome next Friday at Civic Field in Bellingham while Sedro-Woolley will also travel to Whatcom County to play Nooksack Valley.
