No. 1 West Linn 40, Oregon City 13

Receiver Clay Masters, running back Gavin Haines and quarterback Blake DeBisschop had some of the biggest games on offense for the Lions in their win over the Pioneers (0-5) at Pioneer Memorial Stadium in what was billed as the 100th meeting between the schools. 

Masters eclipsed 100 yards receiving and had a scoring catch. Haines caught two scoring passes and ran for a touchdown while gaining about 175 yards from scrimmage. DeBisschop had three touchdown passes and about 250 yards passing. 

Sophomore outside linebacker Earl Ingle was in on double-digit tackles, Thomas McNamara returned an interception for a touchdown and was in on at least eight tackles, and Cole Peters stood out at inside linebacker (and ran for a touchdown on offense). Coach Chris Miller also said Zach Holmes played excellent on the offensive and defensive lines.
