The Beetdiggers, the No. 4 seed out of the region, got their offense into gear at the end of the first half and defeated host Viewmont 28-20.
And while Jordan (7-4) got key plays, as expected, from senior quarterback Crew Wakley, the biggest one didn’t come about in the usual fashion.
Viewmont (7-4), the Region 5 champion, cut the Beetdiggers’ advantage to 21-13 early in the third quarter and was ready to get back the ball.
But Wakley, Jordan’s punter as well as quarterback, ended that. His kick on fourth down was blocked by the Vikings, but the ball fortuitously bounced right to Wakley, who ran for a first down.
