Steilacoom stole the show in the third quarter of a football clash at Highline on Friday.

Highline held a 14-13 lead at halftime before the Sentinels went on a 21-0 rampage in the third quarter en route to a 40-20 win.

Ty Shanklin had scored two touchdowns in the first quarter for the Pirates to give them early leads of 7-0 and 14-7 with the help of two Jack Nelson conversion kicks.

The first score came on a 12-yard run at the 7:13 mark and the second on an 8-yard run at 5:23.

Nelson tried a 41-yard field goal at 7:51 to go in the second quarter that had plenty of length but barely missed the left upright.

Steilacoom struck for a touchdown at 5:09 to play in the half but the kick after missed to leave the Pirates up, 14-13.

That lead was short lived, however, as the Sentinels went up, 34-14, by the end of the third quarter and 40-14 30 seconds into the fourth.

Highline got the last word in at 5:45 to go on a 3-yard touchdown run by DeShayne Stevens. A bad snap on the conversion left the final score at 40-20.
