Cats drop a heart breaker to the Beavers!

Early on, it didn't look as if Beaverton, which defeated No. 2 Southridge last week, would need punt-block heroics or a furious comeback to overcome Westview. The Beavers scored touchdowns on their first three offensive series, staking Beaverton to a 19-7 lead after the first quarter.

Westview (3-3, 0-2) countered by turning to its running game, which kept Beaverton's offense sidelined for most of the second quarter. The Wildcats pulled to within 19-14 at halftime, scoring both touchdowns on passes from Josh Hill to Hayes Garrity.

Westview seized the momentum shortly after halftime as the Wildcats scored two touchdowns in the first eight minutes of the third quarter to take a 28-19 lead. Although Beaverton's offense finished with 455 total yards, the Beavers appeared on the verge of defeat.

Beaverton came back with a huge Blocked punt and rallied to win this one! On to Week three in the ever so tought metro league!
