October 17th, 2014 - 11:59pm

(Port Angeles) -- Kellen Landry caught a 25-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Rodocker in overtime as the Port Angeles Roughriders beat the Sequim Wolves 20-14 in the Rainshadow Rumble at Civic Field.

The winning play came on the first snap of the Riders' possession of the Kansas Tiebreaker, after Sequim's Adrian Espinoza missed a 37-yard field goal attempt to end the Wolves' turn with the ball in extra session.

On 1st-and-10 from the Sequim 25, PA's Landry wheeled out of the backfield and caught Rodocker's rainbow, holding on as he tumbled into the right side of the end zone, setting off pandemonium among the Rider faithful in the grandstand.

Rodocker completed 2 of his 5 passes for 37 yards, both to Landry.

Both teams are now 4-3 overall and 2-2 in the Olympic League 2A Division with the Riders gaining the important head-to-head tiebreaker from the Wolves in the race for the third and fourth seeds into the playoffs.

North Kitsap and Olympic have clinched the top 2 seeds from the Olympic League.

Teams traded touchdowns on opening 4 possessions

The Roughriders opened the game with an illegal procedure penalty, then reeled off an 18-play, 76-yard march to score with Nathan Angevine's 1-yard dive.

PA led 7-0 with 2:59 left in the opening stanza.

The Wolves tied the contest at 7, answering with an 8-play, 62-yard journey, capped with a 4th-and-Goal from the Rider 9 on a slant pass from quarterback Miguel Moroles to sophomore Bailey Earley, just 6 seconds into the second period.

The Riders led 14-7 after another long grind of 11 plays and 51 yards, Angevine scoring on a 5-yard run on 4th-and-Goal with 5:36 left before intermission.

Sequim's tying drive took 11 plays and covered 65 yards, highlighted by a fully-extended, diving 34-yard pass reception by Earley on a go-pattern up the right sideline from Moroles to the PA 31.

The Wolves stalled and faced a 4th-and-14 from the Riders 22. Moroles pulled away from a couple of tackle attempts and got the left corner, sprinting to the end zone and tying the game at 14 with 20 seconds left until halftime.

Dylan Lott intercepted Rodocker on the ensuing play, setting the Wolves up at the PA 32, but Sequim came up empty on the final 2 plays before halftime.

Scoreless 3rd and 4th quarters

After a quick Sequim 3-and-out to start the second half, Port Angeles took possession at its own 5-yard-line and drove for almost 9 minutes.

The Roughriders just misses the go-ahead score on a 4th-and-8 pass attempt from Rodocker to Miki Andrus, who caught the ball but beyond the back line of the end zone, turning the pigskin back to Sequim with 1:34 left in the third period.

The Wolves moved the ball into PA territory, aided by a Moroles 15-yard scramble, topped with a Port Angeles personal foul penalty.

Sequim stalled and Espinoza attempted a 36-yard field goal that had plenty of leg, but was wide left with 9:47 remaining in the fourth quarter.

Port Angeles had a golden opportunity to drive to the winning score after Sequim's Chris Whitaker fumbled to the Riders at the Sequim 42 with 4:17 left.

Sequim's defense rose to the occasion and blasted Landry for a 2-yard loss on 4th-and-1 from the Wolves 33 with 2:04 to go.

The Wolves ended up turning the ball back over to PA on downs with :44 seconds left in regulation.

Port Angeles had four plays -- two deep pass attempts -- then punted back to the Wolves with just 3 seconds to go.

Moroles took a knee and teams headed for the extra session in the 14-all deadlock.

Next week
