Tualatin (11-0) advances to the quarterfinals and will play Sheldon of Eugene. Roseburg, the Southern Oregon Conference runner-up, completes the season at 8-3.

The Indians went 74 yards in three plays to take the lead on Scott Bone�s 52-yard touchdown pass to junior Cory Whitman. Alex Pintos� 22-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Justin McKillip completed a 68-yard march the next time Tualatin had the ball and put the Timberwolves back in front 10-7. On the third play of Roseburg�s ensuing possession, junior tailback Rod Cope fumbled and Pintos raced 49 yards with the turnover for the game�s final TD with 2:10 remaining in the quarter.
