Hewitt Sullivan, Spencer Kuffel power Tigard to victory against Clackamas

Sullivan ran for a season-high five touchdowns.

Tigard 47, No. 10 Clackamas 28

Spencer Kuffel gave the Tigers the lead for good with a dexterous touchdown catch at the back of the end zone, Hewitt Sullivan ran for five touchdowns, and the Tigers (2-3) defeated the visiting Cavaliers (3-3). 

With the Tigers trailing 7-6, Kuffel had his heels near the end line and kept them on the ground as he fell backward to collect a halfback pass and lift Tigard to a 13-7 lead with 2:16 left in the first quarter. 

The Cavaliers closed within 19-14 midway through the second quarter, but Sullivan made it a two-score game with a 61-yard sprint down the right sideline just before halftime. 

Luke Ash had his fourth consecutive 100-yard rushing game and scored three touchdowns for Clackamas.

Keenan Speer-Johnson also caught a touchdown pass for the Tigers, who posted five sacks on defense. 

The five touchdowns were a season high for Sullivan, who ran for four scores in Tigard’s season-opening victory at Oregon City in Week 2.
