THURSTON defeated Churchill 49-24 on Tuesday to clinch their third league title in a row. Churchill’s previous season low in points was 39, in their first matchup against the Colts.

He passed Isaac Lange for that honor, and has now scored 593 points this season, according to coach Blaine Liberatore.

SPRINGFIELD lost to North Eugene 90-45. The 90 points were the second most the Millers have allowed this season.

In their season finale, Springfield lost to Crater 80-53. They finished the season with a 2-22 record, going 1-11 in league. The 34 turnovers hurt the Millers, who otherwise played well.
