All the way back

It was the exact game Ferris coach Jim Sharkey feared all week. In what will go down as one of the best comebacks by his team, Sharkey’s third-ranked Saxons rallied from a 20-0 halftime deficit to knock off the upset-minded Mead Panthers 21-20 Friday before a crowd of 4,952 at Albi Stadium.

Lee: Bullpups learn to shoulder on

They’re teaching Adversity 101 at Gonzaga Prep this fall. And it appears it’s become a college-level class.

Prep Notebook: Wildcats look for rebound

Mt. Spokane football coach Mike McLaughlin had just shaken hands with the Ferris coaches when he headed toward the ramp leading to the west locker room at Albi Stadium. It’s as if McLaughlin was already considering how his team would use the 35-14 loss to prepare for the State 3A playoffs.

It had a state playoff feel for 2½ quarters before the Ferris Saxons scored three unanswered touchdowns to pull away from defending Greater Spokane League champion Mt. Spokane for a 35-14 win in a battle of football unbeatens before 3,773 at Albi Stadium on Friday night. Chase Naccarato returned the opening kick of the second half 94 yards to set up Mt. Spokane’s tying touchdown. But it was all Saxons thereafter.

Lee: CdA Vikings continue to impress

Perhaps the best football team in the region this year doesn’t reside in the Greater Spokane League. I suspect that team is about 32 miles east of Spokane.

‘Grady Bunch’ a great bunch

They call themselves the Grady Bunch. The Ferris football team’s secondary of seniors Riley Stockton, Cody Sorensen, Beau Bozett and Jordan Tonani came up with the nickname for themselves as a tribute to Grady Emmerson, the Saxons’ defensive coordinator.

Tonani terrific

No, Jordan Tonani didn’t carry the water out during timeouts. It just looked like the Ferris senior wide receiver/defensive back was everywhere Friday.
