South Whidbey football is still looking for its first victory of the year under first-year head coach Chris Tormey after a 7-3 loss to Cedar Park Christian on Saturday.

The battle of the birds — South Whidbey Falcons (0-1 Cascade Conference; 0-3 overall) and Cedar Park Eagles (1-0 Cascade Conference; 1-2 overall) — was largely a defensive stalemate. The first score was a field goal by the Falcons in the fourth quarter.

Cedar Park moved into South Whidbey territory with less than 2 minutes remaining in the game. The Eagles scored the go-ahead touchdown on a pass from Ammon to Sheffey with 38 seconds left.

Falcon senior quarterback Parker Collins had a pass intercepted with 11 seconds left to seal the victory for the Eagles.

South Whidbey will try to end its three-game losing streak when it hosts the Granite Falls Tigers (0-1 Cascade Conference; 1-2 overall) at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 26.
