Down by one point with less than three minutes to go, the Panthers attempted to take the lead on a field goal. Out of desperation following a mishandled snap, Tofell caught a 7-yard touchdown pass from Colton Sullivan and Washougal beat Woodland 26-21.

"I didn't get any touchdowns last week, so it felt good," the junior said. "Even if they came on only three carries for three yards."
