With his offense stalling and scoreless throughout the first half, Woodland head coach Mike Woodward called on his star wideout to move significantly closer to the line of scrimmage to begin the second half.
Tyler Flanagan’s temporary switch to running back immediately sparked the Woodland offense as he ran for three opening drive first downs, including the capping 6-yard score, to give the Beavers a lead they would never relinquish on homecoming night.
Flanagan’s early second half success on the ground seemed to help Woodland quarterback Wyatt Harsh settle down from a 3-for-9 first half as the teammates would connect for their first touchdown throw and catch of the season to seal the victory in the fourth quarter.
Flanagan helped Woodland win the field position battle on special teams as well, booting a pair of punts that netted nearly 100 yards combined and even faking a punt for a short first down gain during the momentum-swaying third quarter.
