Hood River snapped a 12-12 tie in the fourth quarter with a game-clinching 65-yard touchdown run last Saturday in White Salmon.

The Big Red, down 12-6 at halftime, evened the score in the third quarter when Taylor Feller's block sprang Connor Warner loose for a 60-yard TD run.

Hood River led, 6-0, after one quarter thanks to a scoring run that covered 36 yards.

But White Salmon pulled even at 6-all in the second quarter, however, on an 18-yard halfback pass from Warner to Will Helton. The scoring play was set up by a 31-yard completion from quarterback Daniel Thiel to Chris Kennedy.
