Baker took another step
in its quest for a share of
the Greater Oregon League
football title Friday, shutting
out Ontario 47-0 at Bulldog
Memorial Stadium.
The win improves Baker’s
GOL record to 2-1. La Grande
currently leads the GOL with
a 3-0 mark. Baker travels to
La Grande Saturday. A Baker
win in that game would
mean the teams would share
the regular-season title. La
Grande beat Baker 34-21 on
Oct. 4.
“The kids played well. It
was a good night for Baker
football,” Baker coach Jason
Ramos said of Friday’s Home-

Jackson leads Ravens to upset of Seahawks
By Tim Booth
AP Sports Writer
SEATTLE — Lamar Jackson was
mad. He was mad about settling for
fi eld goals three times in the fi rst half.
Mad about a delay-of-game penalty
and a 13-yard run on third down when
he needed 15 yards. Mad to see Justin
Tucker trotting on the fi eld again for a
fi eld goal.
John Harbaugh saw the anger, so
he called timeout and gave Jackson a
chance. A critical fourth down would be
in the hands of Baltimore’s young QB,
not on the foot of its kicker.
“I was tired of not scoring,” Jackson
said.
Running an old-school power play,
Jackson rolled in an on 8-yard TD on
that fourth-down call. It gave the Ra-
vens the lead for good on their way to
a 30-16 win over the Seattle Seahawks
on Sunday.
Whether it was scrambling away
from trouble or designed runs to use his
speed, there was no stopping Jackson.
He was the best player on the fi eld, out-
shining Seattle QB Russell Wilson on a
day the Seahawks star fi nally made his
fi rst critical mistake of the season.
Jackson was especially good in the
second half, when he led Baltimore
on a pair of crucial scoring drives. He
fi nished with 116 yards rushing and
his TD run and 143 yards passing.
Wilson was nearly fl awless for the
fi rst six games but struggled to fi nd
open receivers against Baltimore’s
physical secondary. Seattle (5-2) was
leading 10-6 and driving when Wilson
made the mistake of double-clutching
and trying to throw late into the fl at.
Marcus Peters, traded to Baltimore less
than a week ago, made a quick break
on the throw, stepped in front of Jaron
Brown and outraced Wilson 67 yards
for his fi fth career interception return
touchdown.
