After winning a game in Bremerton on Tuesday, the Lindbergh Eagles football team was unable to come up with their second win in a single week, falling to 55-27 to River Ridge on Saturday, despite a three touchdown game from DeMarco Sauls.

Because of a final regular season game loss to Renton, Lindbergh, who finished the season 7-4 overall, found themselves in a three-way tie with Renton and Foster in League play as all three teams finished Seamount League play at 4-2 (Renton and Foster both finished the year with an overall record of 4-6) and wound up as the third seed through a random draw.

The third seed required the Eagles to play Nov. 3 in Bremerton, where the Eagles won 28-17, setting up Saturday’s loser-out game in Puyallup.

River Ridge scored first in what would prove to be a busy first quarter, breaking off a 73-yard touchdown run early in the game for a 7-0 lead.

But the Eagles responded as Sauls took a handoff 64-yards to put Lindbergh on the board, though a missed extra point attempt made the score 7-6.

River Ridge responded next, scoring the next two touchdowns on 12-yard and 55-yard runs to go up 21-6. But before time ticked away on the first frame, the Eagles picked up another TD of their own on a 2-yard run by Korey Solo.

In the second, River Ridge had another big run to the endzone, scoring on a 27-yard rush, before Lindbergh’s Sauls took it 43-yards for his second of the day to bring it to within eight points, but before the half was out, River Ridge connected on a 20-yard touchdown pass to take a 34-20 lead into the break.

The Hawks opened the third quarter scoring with a 1-yard TD run before Sauls took the ball 48-yards for his third touchdown of the game, bringing the score to 41-27 as the teams entered the final frame.

But in the fourth quarter, River Ridge was able to seal up the victory with a 2-yard TD pass and a 25-yard run to end the game with a 55-27 win.

Lindbergh finishes the year 7-4 overall.
