Evergreen 34, Wauseon 31

WAUSEON – Jamie Wright caught a 9-yard touchdown pass from Matt Taylor with 21 seconds to play to lead the Vikings to the come-from behind road victory.

Evergreen (4-4, 3-3 NWOAL) came back from an early 14-0 deficit thanks in part to Taylor, who accounted for four TDs: two on passes to Wright (the other covered 51 yards), one on an 11-yard run in the fourth quarter and one on a 69-yard kickoff return.

The Vikings’ other score came on an 89-yard run by Mitch Carder, who finished with 128 yards rushing on just nine carries.

Ty Suntken ran for two touchdowns and threw for a third for Wauseon (3-5, 3-4). Suntken had 5-yard TD runs in the first and fourth quarters while adding 5-yard scoring strike to Noah Castle.

Ridge Schweinhagen had a 5-yard touchdown run for the Indians, while Russell McClarren added a 25-yard field goal.
