Shorecrest Football rally falls short

Sammamish HS defeated Shorecrest Friday night at Shoreline Stadium by a 15-7 score.

There was a night-and-day difference between the Shorecrest football team that played the first half compared to the team that played the second half.

The Scots trailed 15-0 at halftime, but then came out full of spit-and-vinegar in the second half and dominated the Totems, only to see their last-minute rally come up short in the end.

Devon Pusey raced through a huge hole with just over 9 minutes to play in the game to cut the lead to 15-7.

The Scots had one last shot at tying the game, getting the ball back with just under one minute to go in the game, but Quarterback Trystan Sanchez was sacked on the final two plays, keeping the Scots out of the end zone and off the scoreboard as time expired.

Shorecrest faces cross-town rival Shorewood next Friday at 7pm in the annual Rotary Cup Game.

Shorewood snapped a Shorecrest 9-game winning streak in the series last season.
