SEDRO-WOOLLEY – Periodic downpours throughout Friday night’s 3A Northwest Conference matchup between the Sedro-Woolley Cubs (1-1, 4-4) and the Mount Vernon Bulldogs (0-1, 5-3) helped only the home team Cubs in a 10-7 mudfight, which might give Sedro-Woolley the advantage come playoff time in just two short weeks. The win also stopped the Cubs’ three-game losing streak.
The swampy, splashy football field bogged down every player except for Cub running back Clayton Johnson, who scored on a 49-yard touchdown run. He was able to slosh for over 100 yards rushing in the game.
All 17 points were scored in the second quarter and the Cubs’ defense seized the victory as the clock wound down in the fourth quarter.
Mount Vernon quarterback Jake Weber-Koetje, who previously threw a 45-yard touchdown pass to Joe Barrington for the only Bulldog score, was tackled by linebacker Austin Pulver on a crucial fourth down to seal the game for Sedro-Woolley on the Bulldogs’ last drive of the game.
The difference in the game was a 32-yard field goal by Sedro-Woolley’s Joe Janicki, who had the benefit of the wind at his back during the kick.
