Timberline scored two touchdowns in the final four minutes of the fourth quarter and appeared to have recovered an onside kick with 29 seconds remaining but were called for an interference penalty when the Blazers defender hit the Mavericks receiver and didn’t allow him to make a the catch. Meadowdale was awarded the ball, took a knee and ended the Blazers 2013 season, 28-21.
