SEDRO-WOOLLEY – Sehome stayed with Sedro-Woolley in the first half, but the machine-like Cubs were just too much in the second half as Sedro-Woolley beat the Mariners 42-21 on Friday night.
The Cubs got off to a fast start when they blocked a punt, and recovered it for a touchdown early in the first quarter. A 1-yard touchdown run by Sedro early in the second quarter gave them an early 14-0 lead, but Sehome was able to answer back quickly.
Mariner senior quarterback Jovyn Sangha tossed a pair of quick touchdown passes in the second quarter, the first one was an eight-yarder to 6-foot-5 sophomore Braddock Duckworth, and the second was a seven-yarder to senior Zach Chisolm.
Duckworth came into the game leading Whatcom County in receptions with 17, and he added two more on Friday night.
The Cubs scored the next four touchdowns, and broke away from the Mariners in the second half.
Sehome scored a late defensive touchdown when Duckworth picked up a fumble and returned it 27 yards for a score.
Senior wide receiver Luke Evans led his team with four receptions for 51 yards, and junior Tommy Funk led on the ground with 39 yards on 12 carries.
The Mariners (1-3) will battle Squalicum (1-2) at Civic Stadium on Friday at 5:00.
