COLUMBIA FALLS — Quarterback Banyan Johnston accounted for five touchdowns as the Columbia Falls Wildcats advanced to the second round of the playoffs with a 42-16 home victory over the Corvallis Blue Devils Friday night.
After the first quarter the score was tied 0-0 and on a cold night where space heaters were needed, it looked like it might be a defensive battle — until the Wildcats got warmed up in the second quarter.
On their own 37-yard line, Johnston threw a quick screen to wide receiver Ethan Brooks, who made a shoestring catch. He immediately turned upfield and made three defenders miss to finish the highlight play and put the Wildcats up 7-0.
