Tigers’ furious fourth quarter comeback falls two points and two yards short of miracle ending

by John on November 16, 2009

POULSBO – Burlington-Edison coaches, fans, and players were left wondering what could have been and maybe what should have been after one of the greatest comebacks in the storied history of Tigers’ football ended with the Sequim Wolves celebrating a 34-32 victory Saturday night at North Kitsap High School in the opening round of the WIAA state 2A football playoffs.

Trailing 34-12 with 10:45 remaining in the game, Burlington-Edison’s offense came to life with three touchdowns, the last one on a 13-yard fourth down pass from quarterback Dylan Boe to wide receiver Achilles Wynn as time expired.

Needing a two-point conversion to force overtime, the Tigers sent Damon Acoba up the middle, where he had been successful all night, but the Sequim defense made one of the biggest plays in Wolves’ football history, stopping Acoba short of the endzone to secure the Sequim victory.

Acoba, who missed most of the season with an injury, had averaged 7.7 yards per carry prior to being stopped on the final play of the season for Burlington-Edison. Acoba finished with 123 yards to lead the Tigers in rushing. Boe completed 15-of-32 passes for 190 yards and two touchdowns, including three clutch completions to Wynn on the final drive.

After reaching the state championship game two years ago and losing in the state playoff semifinals last season, Burlington-Edison’s loss left the Tigers with an 8-3 season record. Sequim will take a 10-1 record into next weekend’s quarterfinal game against Lynden after the defending state champion Lions beat Black Hills 14-7.

Tigers pluck Falcons 45-0 in football playoffs

by John on November 7, 2009

BURLINGTON – The Burlington-Edison Tigers capitalized on fumbles by South Whidbey on the Falcon’s first two possessions to take an early 14-0 lead enroute to a 45-0 blowout victory in the District One 2A high school football conference cross-overs Friday night at Kirkby Field.

Junior halfback Cody Larson’s spectacular 20-yard touchdown run just 85-seconds into the game gave the Tigers a 7-0 lead, and senior halfbacks Mikey Sanchez and Damon Acoba each added short scoring runs to give the Blue and Gold a 21-0 advantage before the first quarter was complete.

Led by the inspired performance of nose guard Jack Nevitt, the Burlington-Edison defense played one of its best games of the season in forcing five Falcon turnovers. The Tiger starters held South Whidbey star running back Henry Mead to just 18 yards on 18 carries. Mead, who entered the game with more than 1400 yards, finished the night with 52 yards on 24 rushes, with nearly two-thirds of those yards coming against the Burlington-Edison junior varsity and third-string defense.

Safety Jeff Hayton returned an interception for a second quarter touchdown, dragging a pair of tacklers with him into the end zone, and sophomore fullback Andy Agen plunged across the goal-line from three yards out to put the Tigers up 35-0 at halftime. Acoba added his second touchdown run of the game late in the third quarter and kicker Andrew Furney drilled a 43-yard fourth quarter field goal to cap the scoring.

With the victory, Burlington-Edison raised its season record to 8-2, while South Whidbey’s season ended with a 4-6 mark. The Tigers will travel across Puget Sound to play Sequim in the state 2A playoffs next Saturday, November 14, and we’ll webcast the game live on SkagitRadio.com with John Fasso and Scot Buchanan calling the action.

Tigers’ playoff path could lead back to Lynden

by Scot Buchanan on November 6, 2009

BURLINGTON – Still stinging from their loss last Friday to Lynden in the Northwest Conference championship game, the Burlington-Edison Tigers are preparing for their District One playoff game at home tonight against South Whidbey. The Falcons will bring a 5-4 record into Kirkby Field, and are the No. 3 seed from the Cascade Conference.

With a victory this evening, the Tigers will advance into the state tournament’s opening round with a game against Sequim. With no district playoffs in their league, the Wolves will finish their regular season tonight at Fife before hosting the state playoff game Saturday, November 14 against the winner of the Burlington-Edison vs. South Whidbey game.

While Sequim will be the host school in that contest, the game will likely be played in either Poulsbo or Silverdale, with the location still to be determined. We’ll update as soon as new information is available.

Looking further ahead, the most likely scenario, should Burlington-Edison advance to the quarter-finals of the 2A State Football Playoffs, would have the Tigers getting a rematch with Lynden at Civic Field in Bellingham Saturday, November 21.

The NWC champion Lions will open at home this Saturday against Squalicum, and with a win would host the District 4 (Olympia area) No. 3 seed in Whatcom County in the first round of the state playoffs.

The only “upset” necessary to allow for a Burlington-Edison vs. Lynden rematch in two weeks would be the Tigers defeating Sequim – a feat not unheard-of if you remember Burlington-Edison’s win over the unbeaten champion from that same conference (Steilacoom) last year in Tacoma.

We’ll webcast every Burlington-Edison Tigers football playoff game live here on SkagitRadio.com, with John Fasso providing play-by-play and Scot Buchanan adding commentary. Airtime tonight for the Jerry Smith Kia pre game show is set for 6:20 p.m., with kickoff at 7 pm when the Tigers open the post season hosting South Whidbey.

Lynden blanks Burlington-Edison 20-0 in title tilt

by John on October 31, 2009

BURLINGTON – The Lynden Lions showed why they’re the defending state 2A football champions in handing the Tigers their first home loss since August of 2007 with a 20-0 shutout in Northwest Conference 2A high school football action Friday night at Kirkby Field.

The Lions’ offense controlled the ball for nearly twice as long as the Tigers, while Lynden’s defense forced nine Burlington-Edison punts and pressured quarterback Dylan Boe into completing just two of ten passes in his first game back from a broken bone in his throwing hand. Boe was without his leading receiver, as tight end Jacob Schifferl missed the game with an illness.

Lopez Santaigo opened the scoring with 11 seconds left in the first quarter when he kicked a 22-yard field goal and Lions’ quarterback Jordan Hastings sandwiched a pair of short touchdown runs around a Santiago 24-yard field goal as Lynden (8-1 overall, 7-0 NWC) clinched its second consecutive Northwest Conference 2A championship.

Burlington-Edison (7-2, 5-2) finished second in the conference and will host the South Whidbey Falcons in the District One playoffs next Friday at 7 p.m., with the winner advancing to the round of 16 in the W.I.A.A. state playoffs.

SkagitRadio.com will webcast the South Whidbey at Burlington-Edison game Friday, November 6, with John Fasso providing play-by-play and Scot Buchanan adding commentary. Airtime for the Jerry Smith Kia pregame show is set for 6:20 p.m., with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m.
