After starting slow, Washougal rode the second half momentum in a victory.
The Panthers were held to just 49 total yards in the first half yet barely trailed after the Eagles hit a 37-yard field goal at the halftime buzzer to go ahead 9-7.
The tide turned when Hudson’s Bay fumbled inside the Panthers’ redzone after carving up the Washougal defense. From that point on, Washougal was dominant.
After a costly fumble inside the Hudson’s Bay 10-yard line on their first possession in the second half, the Panthers scored on their next three drives including an 84-yard pass from Holden Bea to Carson Morris.
Bea completed 15 of his 20 attempts with 180 yards and four total scores.
