77
Scoring margin in points for Mazama of Klamath Falls in the 2014 OSAA Class 4A playoffs. The Vikings had a larger margin than all but two other teams in that postseason (6A champion Central Catholic and 6A semifinalist West Salem).
The Vikings built their best-in-class scoring margin even though they didn’t make it to the championship game. They defeated Siuslaw 42-12 in the first round and Phoenix 48-0 in the semifinals before losing 41-40 to eventual runner-up North Bend in the semifinals.
North Bend, which forged a 79-point scoring margin through the semifinals, lost in the final to Gladstone, 35-17, and finished the four-game run plus-61 in points.
The champion Gladiators had a 37-point margin of victory in the 2014 postseason (wins by 11, seven, one and 18 points).
