BURLINGTON – After falling behind for the third straight game, the Burlington-Edison Tiger scored 31 straight points on their way to a 31-15 victory over Bellingham Friday night in NWC 2Aa football.
Wes Sitser’s 58 yard run and a 22 yard field goal by Walker Storrer gave the Red Raiders a 9-0 lead before Mikey Sanchez, who started his first ever game at quarterback for injured starter Dylan Boe, connected with Achilles Wynn on a 23-yard touchdown pass to pull the Tigers within two at halftime. Sanchez completed five of seven passes and two touchdowns, including Colin Stewart’s 16 yard fourth quarter score.
Jammarick Cavitt made his first start memorable by scoring touchdowns on a blocked punt recovery and an exceptional interception which he returned 44 yards for the Tigers last TD. All state kicker Andrew Furney blasted a 42-yard field goal and added four extra points to remain perfect for the season on PAT’s.
Bellingham quarterback Bobby Funkhouser capped the scoring with an eight yard run against the Burlington-Edison junior varsity on the game’s final play.
