Spartans sneak past BadgersNORTH POWDER — Pine-Eagle and Powder Valley went to war in their Old Oregon League football opener Friday at North Powder. The teams had a physical battle that went into overtime before Pine-Eagle escaped with a 32-26 victory. “It was one of those games where you just want to get done and go on,” said Pine-Eagle coach Blake Dennis. “It was ugly.” Powder Valley won the coin toss in overtime and elected to start on defense. Pine-Eagle moved the ball downfield eventually scoring on a Kyle Dennis run. Powder then went to the legs of Trent Dixon to try to tie, or win, the game. Dixon moved the ball on three plays to just short of a first down. On the third play, he stayed down after being tackled by the Spartans’ Richie Gonzales. Dixon eventually left the field on his own power. But in high school ball if a player stays down due to injury he must sit out the next play. Pine-Eagle stopped the Badgers on fourth down and ended the game. The game was physical, including punches being thrown in the third period. Pine-Eagle led 20-6 at the time, but then let Powder Valley rally to tie the game at 20-20 entering the fourth quarter. “We have to learn not to buy into all the extra stuff,” Coach Dennis said. Powder Valley then took a 26-20 lead in the final period before Pine-Eagle quarterback Jake Traw connected for his third touchdown pass with Nathan Tanaka to tie the game again. Pine-Eagle hosts Wallowa Friday for a 2 p.m. kickoff. Powder Valley travels to Cove for a 7 p.m. start.
