Trey Wheeler connected with Chandler Jenkins for a 50-yard touchdown with two minutes left to give Liberty a come-from-behind, 25-20 victory over Mount Si Friday night.

The win solidified second place in the KingCo 3A for Liberty (7-2 overall, 5-1 league) and a home game in next week’s preliminary round of the 3A state playoffs. Mount Si (5-4, 4-2) will play a road playoff game next week.

It was a clash of styles for the two tough KingCo teams. Mount Si’s Sean Snead rushed for touchdowns of 77 and 4 yards, while Wheeler passed for more than 260 yards as head of a potent Patriots’ passing game. Jenkins caught 5 catches for 135 yards and Richard Crespo had 6 catches for 116 yards, including a diving score.

Liberty will play North Kitsap (7-2) in the first round of the playoffs. Mount Si will play Peninsula (7-2).

Renton 35, Highline 0

Renton’s Mar’que Fluker rushed for a 54-yard touchdown in the first minute and added another to lead the Indians to 35-0 victory over Highline Friday night.

Renton (5-3, 5-2) takes the Seamount’s third playoff spot with the win over the Pirates (3-5, 3-5). The Indians will meet Timberline (7-2) next week in the preliminary round of the playoffs.

Lindbergh 54, Evergreen 22 (Thursday)

David Valentine rushed for four touchdowns on just eight carries, leading the Eagles to a 54-22 win over Evergreen Thursday night.

Jacob Allie passed for three touchdowns for the Eagles, including two to Willie Creear. Lindbergh (7-2, 7-1) remains in second place in the Seamount after the win. Evergreen (1-8, 1-7) remains in eighth.

Lindbergh will meet Columbia River (5-3) next week in the playoffs.

Hazen did not play but picked up a forfeit win over Tyee. The Highlanders tied for fourth in the league, but lose the tiebreaker for the Seamount’s final playoff spot to Mount Rainier by virtue of the Ram’s 32-28 victory over Hazen earlier this season. Mount Rainier plays Eastside Catholic (8-1) next week in the first round of the playoffs.
