In one of the most astonishing performances in Oregon high school football history, two teams combined for 20 touchdowns and 144 total points Friday night — a shootout that left fans stunned and statisticians scrambling through record books.
The Summit Storm defeated the Tualatin Timberwolves, 78–66, in a non-league matchup that produced one of the highest combined scores ever recorded in the state. The game featured dazzling offensive fireworks, long touchdown runs, and a pace more reminiscent of a college bowl game than a high school regular-season contest.
According to the Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA), the matchup fell just shy of the all-time record for combined points in a regulation football game, set at 150 in 2016.
Offensive Explosion Lights Up the Scoreboard
The game, played at Summit High School in Bend, quickly escalated into an offensive duel. Both teams scored on their first four possessions, and neither defense managed to force a punt until midway through the third quarter.
By halftime, the score was 42–38, with nearly 900 yards of total offense already on the stat sheet.
Summit senior quarterback Liam Porter delivered a career performance, throwing for 412 yards and six touchdowns, while rushing for another two scores. His favorite target, wide receiver Noah Johnson, caught 10 passes for 238 yards and four touchdowns, including two breakaway catches of more than 70 yards.
On the other side, Tualatin running back Isaiah Clark carried the ball 31 times for 305 yards and five touchdowns, keeping the Timberwolves in striking distance throughout the night.
| Team | Final Score | Total Yards | Touchdowns | Turnovers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Summit Storm | 78 | 756 | 11 | 1 |
| Tualatin Timberwolves | 66 | 703 | 9 | 2 |
| Combined Total | 144 points | 1,459 yards | 20 touchdowns | 3 turnovers |
“It was like a track meet on turf,” Summit head coach Scott Olin said. “Every time we thought we had some breathing room, they’d break off another 60-yard run. It was incredible football on both sides.”
The contest nearly set multiple state records, including:
- Most combined points in a single game (record: 150, set by Crook County vs. Ridgeview, 2016)
- Most touchdowns by two teams (record: 21, also set in 2016)
- Most individual touchdowns (Porter’s eight total ranks second all-time in Summit program history)
Coaches Praise Sportsmanship and Stamina
Despite the jaw-dropping offensive numbers, both coaches highlighted the sportsmanship and perseverance displayed by their players.
Tualatin head coach Brent Curtis said his team’s resilience was a point of pride. “We kept battling, no matter the score,” Curtis said. “I’ve never seen so many points scored, but I’ve also never seen that level of heart. They fought for four quarters.”
The game lasted nearly three hours, with drives often lasting under a minute due to explosive scoring plays. Summit scored six touchdowns of 50 yards or more, including a 95-yard kickoff return by sophomore Tyler Bates, who later sealed the game with an interception in the final two minutes.
“This is why people love high school football,” said Curtis. “The atmosphere, the effort, the unbelievable plays — it had everything.”
Spectators described the crowd’s energy as electric, with fans erupting after each big play. The National Weather Service reported clear skies and mild fall temperatures in Bend — ideal conditions for the record-threatening matchup.
Historical Context: One for the Record Books
The 78–66 final score will rank among the highest-scoring games in Oregon high school football history. According to OSAA records, only five games in the last 50 years have exceeded 140 combined points.
Football analysts point to the evolution of offensive play-calling — including spread formations and tempo-driven schemes — as a factor in such scoring surges.
“This kind of game shows how advanced high school offenses have become,” said Mark Horowitz, an OSAA historian. “We’re seeing college-level execution and speed at the prep level.”
In Oregon’s modern era, only the 2016 Crook County vs. Ridgeview and the 2019 Sherwood vs. Lake Oswego matchups produced similar results, each surpassing 130 total points.
The Federal Highway Administration even issued minor travel advisories around Bend following the game, as heavy postgame traffic caused delays near State Route 201 and local exits.
Summit’s victory improved their season record to 6–1, while Tualatin dropped to 5–2, both teams still in contention for playoff berths.
Fans, Players, and Officials React
Social media lit up following the final whistle, with highlights from the game circulating on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. The OSAA’s official account called it “one of the wildest games Oregon has ever seen.”
Summit senior quarterback Porter, who accounted for eight touchdowns, said the moment didn’t sink in until after the handshake line.
“When the scoreboard said 78–66, I just laughed,” Porter said. “I’ve never been in anything like that. It’s something we’ll remember forever.”
Officials confirmed no major injuries during the game, a testament to player conditioning and safety protocols overseen by the Oregon Athletic Trainers’ Society.
As both programs move deeper into the 2025 season, coaches acknowledged that future games may not match the offensive explosion seen Friday — but that this one will be remembered for decades.
“Records might not have fallen,” Olin said, “but hearts sure did race. Nights like this remind us why high school football means so much to these communities.”
The Oregon high school football game between Summit and Tualatin will go down as one of the most memorable in state history, featuring 20 touchdowns, 144 points, and nearly shattering multiple records.
For the players and fans who witnessed it, the night symbolized everything thrilling about prep sports — pure energy, unfiltered emotion, and a shared sense of history being made under the Friday night lights.
