AREA ROUNDUP: Gar-Pal Vikings upset unbeaten foes in state football playoffs

AREA ROUNDUP

WENATCHEE — After a slow start, Garfield-Palouse turned up its offense in the middle quarters to power past previously undefeated Entiat 62-34 in a Washington Class 1B state playoff football game Saturday at the Apple Bowl.

The Vikings scored 54 of their 62 points in the second and third quarters.

Bryce Pfaff passed for 246 yards and four touchdowns and added another touchdown rushing to lead 10th-seeded Garfield-Palouse (6-5) past the favored seventh-seeded Tigers (9-1).

Lane Collier compiled 260 yards of total offense and four scores as a passing and rushing threat.

“We kind of showed some perseverance, which was nice,” Gar-Pal coach Willy Woltering said. “We got punched in the mouth first and responded and counter-punched pretty well. And finished it out just like we were hoping.”

Next up, the Vikings will play Wilbur-Creston-Keller at a time, date and location yet to be announced.

Montana Tech 85, LC State 83

BUTTE, Mont. — No. 22 Lewis-Clark State dropped its first game of the year on a buzzer-beater 3-pointer by Brayden Koch of No. 7 Montana Tech at the Comfort Inn Fall Classic.

Colfax native John Lustig broke a late tie with a free throw with seven seconds remaining to give LC State (4-1) a slight advantage. Lustig tied a career-high in both points (22) and rebounds (10) and had a team-high four assists.

“Our guys really battled in another tough road game,” LC State coach Austin Johnson said. “We’ve got a good group, but we need to take some steps defensively if we’re going to reach our full potential. We had some impressive individual performances but it’s tough to win on the road when you allow the opponent to shoot almost 60 percent from the floor. Excited to see how this group responds as we head into conference play.”
