Sept. 29, 1995: In one of the wildest Civil War matchups in the entire series, R.A. Long downs Mark Morris 22-20 in overtime after a frankly unbelievable ending. Down 14-12, the Lumberjacks turned the ball over on downs at the MM 11-yard line with 1:37 left in regulation, only for the Monarchs to stall out — and snap the ball out of the back of the end zone on fourth down for a game-tying safety with eight seconds left. In OT, Matt Fisher hit Sean Marshall first for a touchdown, then for the two-point conversion for the Jacks. MM’s Chris Kosiba found Mike Virhei in the end zone on the Monarhcs’ possession, but the Lumberjack defense stopped him short on a sneak for the conversion to give RAL the win.
“They had that game,” RAL coach Chris Fritsch said. “But you know what? We’re not going to give it back.”

Sept. 28, 2001: Following Naselle’s 42-19 win over Pe Ell, assistant Jeff Eaton can only describe Dustin Doty’s final statline as “craziness”: 16 carries, 345 yards, five touchdowns. Doty’s first score came from a yard out, but he hit paydirt from longer range from there on, going 56, 67, 31, and 48 yards for his other four touchdowns. He also led the defense with 11 tackles. Joe Baliff scored the final touchdown of the day for Naselle to cap a 121-yard performance of his own.
