The Cheesemakers finished 7 - 3 overall before dropping the opening round game in the state playoffs. There were several high lights in the season but three that stand out are the following. First, the defeating of the 6th ranked Philomath Warriors at their Philomath. It was a great high school game and a game that saw Tillamook come back from being behind at half time 7 - 0 and earned a hard fought 19-15 win. As George Werner stated after the game, "Man, that was intense."
The second one was defeating Yamhill-Carlton in the first league game. This was an important start as Tillamook had come off a 4 - 1 preseason record but now the games counted for post season play. After a close first half in which Tillamook lead 19-12, the Cheesemakers took the second half kickoff and scored after controlling the ball for over 9 minutes. The Cheesemakers then went for the onside kick and recovered the ball. After the recovery, the team ran off another 5 minutes before YC ever got a snap in the half. The final score was a 34 -12 win for Tillamook and a great way to start league.
The last high light was the last game of the season at Scappoose. It was critical for Tillamook as they needed a win to secure a state playoff spot and it would keep Scappoose out of the playoffs for the first time in 12 years. After trailing at halftime 20 - 14, the Cheesemakers came out with renewed determination and defeated the Indians 29 - 27.
