Before Friday’s game against Columbia River, Tyler Flanagan said he was more concerned about wins than personal statistics or records.
Then the Woodland senior went out and proved it.
With the Woodland single-season rushing record within reach, Flanagan turned to the air Friday, throwing two first-half touchdown passes to spark the Beavers to a 40-7 win in a Class 2A Greater St. Helens League game.
“We went empty (backfield) and they put six guys in the box,” Flanagan said. “So we had man-up across the board. I took my chances with my receivers, and they executed.”
The win clinched the No. 2 seed from the 2A GSHL for Woodland (7-1, 4-1 league) to the district playoffs in two weeks. Columbia River (5-3, 4-2) is locked in at the No. 3 seed.
