Adna 22 Winlock 12
All those following via text and Twitter around Western Washington on Friday night were excited when the Cardinals took a 12-0 lead over Adna into the halftime locker room.
The Pirates came out and scored 22 straight points and held Winlock scoreless for the rest of the game. Chance Fisher ran for the first TD and accumulated 115 yards carrying the ball. Evan Mitchell added the second TD for the Cards with a 28-yard run while Jonathon Whitney caught two passes for 31 yards of offense.
Winlock is now 0-5 overall and 0-4 in the 2B Central League and will travel to Pe Ell this Friday.
Kalama 35 Castle Rock 0
Big plays put the Rockets on their heels before Kalama took care of business in an important Trico League game.
A 79-yard interception for a score, a fumble that gave Kalama a short-field and then a 67-yard punt return made the game an uphill battle within minutes of the opening kick.
In the meantime, the Rocket offense was productive, but couldn't finish. Nate Williamson rushed 20 times for 93 yards in a more than admirable performance.
Woodland 55 Toledo 6
Toledo was the latest Trico League team with the honor of playing the 3rd-ranked Woodland Beavers and also found them to be a more than apt opponent.
Kreed Askin had a solid night at running back with a TD and 114 of Toledo's 160 yards of rushing.
Toledo will host Kalama this week during their Homecoming game. The Indians, Kalama and White Salmon are all tied for third place in the Trico League. With Woodland and La Center in firm control of the lead, only two more playoff spots are available.
