GAME-WINNER — Jesuit's Keanon Lowe turns the corner on his game-winning 9-yard touchdown run in his team's 35-27 win over Lake Oswego at Jesuit High School on Friday night.

BEAVERTON – Three-game losing streaks suck.

The Jesuit football team - which had lost three straight games to Lake Oswego - knows that big-time.

Now, however - following Jesuit's 35-27 win over Lake Oswego at Jesuit High School on Friday night - Lake Oswego knows it too.

Jesuit (2-1) got two touchdowns from junior tailback Jordan Talley and sealed its victory with a 9-yard Keanon Lowe TD run with 5 minutes, 35 seconds remaining to beat the Lakers and end Jesuit's aforementioned three-game losing streak to LO.

"We just had to come out and show we’re a team to contend with in Oregon," said Talley, who racked up 182 yards rushing and scored on runs of 77 and 4 yards. "And playing Lake Oswego, that’s always a good game and everyone gets hyped up for it."

For Lowe, a senior in his third varsity season with Jesuit, Friday's game was sweet redemption.

"I’m sick of losing to these guys," said Lowe, who had 81 total yards and also picked off an LO pass. "The last three times we played them, we lost. It’s good to finally beat them."

The Lakers, meanwhile, fell to 0-3 for the first time in a very long time, but left encouraged with their effort against the second-ranked Crusaders.
