PREP FOOTBALL | Quarterfinal, Foothill 48, Red Bluff 13 Spartans fall in 1st playoff game in 8 years For the Red Bluff Spar- tans football team, Foothill's playmaking ability was just too much to overcome, two weeks in a row. By ANDRE BYIK DN Sports Editor PALO CEDRO — The sixth-seeded Spartans fell 48-13 to the third-seeded Cougars on Friday at Foothill High School in the Northern Section quarterfinals a week after losing 48-7 to the squad to end both team's regular seasons. It was Foothill's junior quarterback Ryan Pollard who again gave the Spartans' defense fits. "We took our hats off to them," Spartans coach Corey Hein said. "Those guys, they're well prepared, well coached, great athletes. They're just a good team." Roethlisberger left the game early in the third quarter after get- ting slammed to the turf by Kansas City linebackers Tamba Hali and Justin Hous- ton and did not return. The Steelers (6-3) won their fourth straight anyway. Shaun Suisham kicked a 23- yard field goal 51 sec- onds into the extra period, one play after Lawrence Timmons intercepted Kansas City's Matt Cassel and returned to the 5. Jamaal Charles ran for 100 yards and a score for the Chiefs (1- 8), who have lost six straight.

Follow him on Twitter: @TehamaSports the first half, with Red Bluff down 21-0, the Spartans put together a solid possession sparked by a 15-yard run by senior Tucker Gulliford and capped by a 14-yard touchdown reception by Mitch Fox with about 13 seconds left before the teams retreated to the locker rooms. Connor Ross kicked in the extra point and the Spartans would begin the second half down 21-7. Foothill then piled on. Coming out of the break, the Cougars marched 68 yards in less than three minutes to score on an 8-yard run from senior Davis Kepon. The extra point would be blocked, but Foothill's control of the game wouldn't.

After the Spartans went three-and-out on down, Red Bluff junior Greg Dufour went down with an injury for an extended period of time. Hein said Dufour com- plained of a pain in his neck, and, as a precau- tion, was carted off the field for further exami- nation. Hein noted Dufour was moving and talking.

With about five min- utes left in the game, Red Bluff scored its last touchdown of the year off a 7-yard run from Dillon Milton. The Spartans, just 2-8 last season, finished the year 6-5 overall and made a playoff appear- ance for the first time in eight years. Hein said the seniors on the team deserve thanks for putting Red Bluff football back on "But we obviously have a long way to go, too," he said. "We enjoyed being here. Got a little taste of it. Hope- fully the younger guys are ready to go next year." Foothill, the No. 3 seed, will visit second- seeded Paradise on Fri- day in the semifinal round.
