QUINCY, Calif. – Two of three Shasta College turnovers came in the second half and the Knights lost 35-28 on the road to host Feather River College Saturday to suffer their sixth straight loss.

Eli Wehbey's 2-yard quarterback run put Shasta head 21-14 early in the third quarter but Feather River scored 36 seconds later to ignite 21 unanswered points to pull away until late in the final period. The Golden Eagles took a 14-point lead early in the fourth but Wehbey was intercepted two plays later and only got one more possession in the game.

Shasta rallied after trailing 14-0 by scoring three straight times through the middle quarters. Eli Cortinas scored on rushing touchdowns of 14 and 1 yard in the second to go into halftime tied at 14. Wehbey's rushing score capped a five-play drive to put Shasta ahead 21-14 on the opening possession of the second half.

However, Feather River answered quickly with a 16-yard pass from Ryan Vaughan to Trace Patterson. Wehbey was intercepted two plays later and Shasta only managed one first down until about 10 minutes to go trailing 35-21.

Jeryll McIntosh put Feather River up 28-21 with an 11-yard touchdown run and found pay dirt again less than three minutes later on a 1-yard run to go up two scores.

Wehbey was intercepted for a third time, giving way to Levi Durrell for the following Knight drive. Durrell marched on a 13-play drive capped by his own 1-yard rushing touchdown with 5:01 remaining to cut the deficit to 7.

But Feather River held on to the ball the remainder of the game, converting a fourth-and-five with a 13-yard pass from Vaughan to Miguel Hernandez to seal it.

Wehbey completed 8 of 15 passes for 151 yards and three interceptions while Durrell was 4 of 5 for 37 yards and added 19 yards on three rushing attempts. Jaylen Thomas paced the Knights, carrying the ball 10 times for 87 yards and Cortinas added 62 yards on 14 carries and two scores. Randy Gibson hauled in four passes for 115 yards and Jahari Johnson caught five passes for 47 yards.
