After jumping out to a 15-3 lead in the first quarter, the Cougars surrendered a touchdown and a field goal and the Tigers trailed by just two points, 15-13. But Capital ran off 31 unanswered points from that point before Burlington-Edison scored in garbage time.

The Rams fell behind 21-0 before a Mo Manning seven yard run got them on the board in the third quarter. Brandon Belisario scored a three yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter to cut the Titans’ lead to ten but it was too little, too late and North Thurston’s season ends at 9-3.
