Tyner football coach Wayne Turner continually tells his players to take advantage of every opportunity they have on the field and in life. Friday night the Rams showed how much they’ve been listening.
Three touchdowns to start the game, an impenetrable defense and a penalty-stricken Silverdale Baptist Academy led to Tyner’s 32-7 neighborhood win over the Seahawks at Wayne Turner Field.
The win earned Tyner the fourth and final playoff spot from Region 3-2A.
“This was a big region game to accomplish our biggest goal of the year, and that’s to make the playoffs,” Turner said. “We really didn’t want to finish fourth. But once you get in it doesn’t matter. Everyone is 0-0.”
Touchdowns by Devon Waight, Jaylen Bowens and Rahle High gave the Rams an 18-0 lead and all the momentum heading into the second quarter of play. They scored on every possession in that first quarter, and conversely the Tyner defense forced a punt on each of Silverdale’s first four possessions.
