A couple more finals in Week 8...both down-to-the-wire thrillers.

Gresham puts together a winning 10-play drive to get past Forest Grove 10-7. Gresham's WR1 hauled in an 8-yard TD catch for the winning score with 0:34 to play. Forest Grove suffered costly missed field goals in the first and fourth quarters.

Gresham's QB completed 8-of-9 passes for 58 yards on the game-winning march.

Gresham's WR2 finished with 7 catches for 115 yards.

And South Salem got a 19-yard TD catch from WR2 with 4:06 to play for the winning points in the Saxons' 28-21 win over Bend. The Lava Bears got a long pass to WR2 to get into the red zone in the final minute, but ran out of time when their tight end was tackled at the 3-yard line as time expired.

South Salem found the end zone three times in the first quarter to jump out to an early 21-0 lead, highlighted by a 33-yard punt return for a score.

Two more Week 8 finals.

Sherwood wins a defensive battle 14-3 over Beaverton. The Bowmen's RB1 found the end zone twice right before halftime to provide the winning margin.

And Lakeridge wins a tight one 21-14 over Jesuit, creating a logjam atop the City Division. The Pacers got the winning touchdown after putting together a 15-play, 81-yard drive in the fourth quarter. The Lakeridge TE caught a 5-yard TD pass for the winning score with 5:31 to play -- his second TD grab of the game.

A series of incompletions prevented Jesuit from converting a first down on either of its last two drives.

And another final in Week 8...Central Catholic beats Grant 25-10 to force a three-way tie atop the City Division heading into the final week of the regular season.

Grant struck first with a 46-yard field goal, but Central Catholic answered immediately with a 78-yard kickoff return for the go-ahead touchdown.

Central Catholic RB1 had 18 carries for 78 yards. The Rams defense finished with 7 sacks and held Grant to 20 total yards.
