Four quarters of the KingCo vs. the Seamount just wasn't enough on Thursday night as Juanita and Lindbergh played into overtime.

Juanita came out on top 24-21, thanks to a 20-yard field goal by Jon Evatt in the Thursday game at Renton Stadium.

Juanita led 14-13 at half time and 21-13 in the fourth quarter. However, the Eagle defense forced a safety, then Lindbergh quarterback Jake Allie threw a touchdown to Derek Herley with just 21 seconds left. Juanita blocked the extra point attempt, leaving the score tied 21-21 and the game heading into overtime.

Juanita quarterback Nick Olearain and Allie each threw for two touchdowns. Juanita senior wide receiver Nick Khien caught five passes for 115 yards and two touchdowns. Lindbergh's David Valentine rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown.
