Despite battling a sickness throughout the week, Interlake running back Jordan Todd went for 432 yards on 30 carries and scored five touchdowns to push his team to a 49-41 win over Franklin Pierce in the first round of the 2A state football tournament.

“To do it when we needed it most said a lot about him as a competitor and person,” Interlake coach Jason Rimkus said. “He’s been banged up, everyone keys on him, he’s sick as a dog and puts up over 400.”

The Saints will host the winner of tomorrow’s game between top-ranked Lynden and North Thurston in next week’s quarterfinal round.
