Shorecrest football loses a close one to Lynnwood, 26-25

Shorecrest's Aubry Victor's 25-yard field goal attempt was blocked with just under 30 seconds to play, thwarting a furious Scots' rally, to help Lynnwood football prevail 26-25 Friday night at Shoreline Stadium.

Trailing 19-6, Jack Koss' sixteen yard TD pass to Ian Prieve pulled the Scots to 19-12  with just under a minute to play in the first half, after the Royals had scored twice within ten seconds in the second quarter.

Shorecrest tied the game at 19-all on Koss' pass to Briggon Weaver with three minutes to play in the third quarter, but the Royals countered with a score of their own as the quarter closed to make it 26-19.

When SC's Race Treat hauled in Koss' 45-yard pass with 4:27 to play, all they needed was the PAT to tie it up.  But Victor's kick was blocked and the Scots trailed by 26-25.

Prieve intercepted a Royals' pass on Lynnwood's 43 yard line with 2:18 to play, hope glimmered for the Scots. They managed to drive the ball down to the Royals' 10, only to have their interior line blocking break down on the final field goal try.

The loss leaves the Scots with a 1-1 mark. They play at Sammamish next Friday before returning to Shoreline Stadium for the Rotary Cup on Sept. 25.
