Prep Football Ferndale 42, Mount Vernon 25 Mount Vernon battled Ferndale deep into the second half, but the Golden Eagles’ physical offensive line and powerful rushing attack eventually proved to be the difference in a 42-25 Ferndale victory. The Bulldogs got a big night from the combination of Brady Peterson and Bodey Jacobs. Peterson threw for 246 yards and four touchdowns, while Jacobs hauled in 13 passes for 175 yards and three TDs. Bayker Driver added 37 receiving yards and another touchdown. After trailing 14-0, Mount Vernon erupted for 18 points in the second quarter and went into halftime down just 21-18. The Bulldogs remained within three at 28-25 after three quarters, keeping the pressure on Ferndale heading into the fourth. Mount Vernon’s defense also created opportunities. Gideon Hope recorded an interception, while Driver forced a fumble that was recovered by Jacobs. Driver finished with a team-high 12 tackles. In the end, Ferndale’s physical line play and rushing attack took over. The Golden Eagles scored 14 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to pull away from a Mount Vernon team that pushed them for much of the night.

Prep Football Burlington-Edison 35, Mount Vernon 28 Burlington-Edison wins the 120th Battle of the Bridge, making it three wins in a row under Tigers Head Coach Dalton Schwetz @CoachSchwetz Seconds into the game, Mount Vernon jumped out to an early lead when Bodey Jacobs @BodeyJacobs returned the opening kickoff for a TD, giving MV a 6-0 lead after the PAT was no good. The Tigers answered right back with a TD drive over their own, capped off with a 13 yard rushing touchdown by Senior QB Jake VanPelt @Jake__VanPelt Roman Cook’s PAT was good and the lead went back to B-E, 7-6. After the Tigers stopped the Bulldogs on their next possession, they marched right back down and scored on a 3 yd run from junior tailback Ben Daniels. The Tiger’s 2-point attempt was no good. B-E now on top 13-6. Mount Vernon answered right back with a Gideon Hope 2 yd TD run and a successful 2 pt conversion from senior QB Brady Peterson @BradyPeter7_17 to senior WR Jay Davis @Jay_Davis2 to put MV on top, 14-13. The Tigers got the ball back and scored just before half on Jake VanPelt’s second rushing TD of the game. Ben Daniels run for a 2pt conversion was good and the Tigers took the halftime lead 21-14.  Both defenses tightened in the third quarter after some halftime adjustments. However, Jake VanPelt would add his 3rd rushing TD of the game on a 4 yd run. Cook’s PAT made it B-E 28, MV 14 In the 4th quarter, Bulldog running back Anthony Rodriguez would run it in for his first rushing TD of the night and Bodey Jacobs PAT would pull MV to within one score, 28-21. With 3:25 left in the game on 4th and 1 from the MV 41 yard line, Jake VanPelt took the shotgun snap and ran off tackle for 41 yards to score his 4th rushing TD of the game, making it 35-21 Tigers. But MV was not going away that easy. QB Brady Peterson scored on a 1 yd TD run to again pull within one score. BE 35, MV 28. The Tigers recovered the onside kick with less than 1:30 to go on the clock. After three running plays and MV using all their timeouts, the Bulldogs got the ball back at midfield with less than a minute to go. On 4th down from the Tigers 20 yd line, Peterson’s deep ball to Bodey Jacobs was a little long and the Tigers took over on downs with 0:14 on the clock. One play from victory formation sealed the win and the Tigers keep the trophy on the north side of the Skagit River for their third time in a row. Congrats to both teams, coaches and fans on an exciting night at Kirkby Field. Congrats @BETigers_FB , a well earned and hard fought win.
