75
In the past five seasons, Chace Pence of Churchill is the only Class 5A or 6A player reported to have thrown for two 75-yard touchdown plays in the same season.
In Week 1 of Pence’s senior season of 2021, he and Riley Van Camp connected on a 75-yard score in a 35-28 win for the Lancers over Eagle Point. Five weeks later, against Thurston of Springfield, Pence and Daniel Womack hooked up for a 75-yard score for the Lancers of Eugene.
Wilsonville’s Chase Hix has two 75-yard pass plays on file, but they were in different seasons (Week 1 of the spring 2021 season and Week 2 of the fall 2021 season) and one of the 75-yarders (to Kellen Hartford in the spring 2021 game) did not produce a touchdown.
