Gage Hurych's field goal lifts West Linn over TRL rival Lakeridge in OT

Three of the Pacers’ four losses came on points their opponents scored in the final 25 seconds of regulation or in overtime.

No. 2 West Linn 10, No. 10 Lakeridge 7 (OT) 

Gage Hurych kicked a 23-yard field goal for the winning points to lift the Lions over the visiting Pacers at Pioneer Memorial Stadium in Oregon City. 

The Pacers (8-4) of Lake Oswego had the first possession of overtime and missed on a field goal try of nearly 40 yards. 

The Lions (11-1) struck first, on an 11-yard touchdown pass from Earl Ingle to Mark Hamper midway through the first quarter. The Pacers answered with Jake Reichle’s 10-yard scoring run less than two minutes into the second quarter. 

Hurych’s winning kick was set up by a big run by Hamper to the 9-yard line. 

Friday’s game, the second meeting of the season between the Three Rivers League teams, was as close as their first. 

In Week 6, Lakeridge rallied from a 21-14 deficit to take a 27-21 lead midway through the fourth quarter. The Lions pulled out the victory that night when Nick Sakys — a sophomore making his first varsity start and among three quarterbacks the Lions have used this season — threw a touchdown pass with 22 seconds left. 

Three of the Pacers’ four losses came on points their opponents scored in the final 25 seconds of regulation or in overtime. Three of those losses were by a combined seven points.
