WASHOUGAL — R.A. Long remained in contention for the league championship by blanking Washougal 14-0 in a GSHL 2A football game Friday night, despite a chaotic outing.

“It was kind of a crazy night,” RAL coach Erik Bertram said. “The ball was bouncing all over. Flags were flying. We had a hard time putting anything together.”

Three first-quarter turnovers stalled most of their early drives, but the Lumberjacks (6-1, 3-0 league) still managed to get ahead when William Yordy hit Gavin Johnson with a 17-yard pass. In the second quarter, Jerry Graham ran back an interception 30 yards for the Jacks’ second touchdown.

With the clock now firmly on its side, RAL’s defense began the job of waiting out the Panthers on a night when scoring did not come easily for either team. Austin Wegdahl picked off two passes, and Julio Bautista had two sacks. J Nusbaum blocked a punt.

“Defensive effort and special teams were really good,” Bertram said. “We’re happy with it.”

Yordy threw the ball 13 times and connected on eight for 107 yards, with two interceptions. Johnson had five catches for 70 yards. Thomas McCall was R.A. Long’s leading rusher with eight carries for 25 yards.

Hurn passes Beavers to victory over Hockinson

WOODLAND — Trevor Hurn completed 19-of-33 passes for 303 yards and two touchdowns as Woodland rolled to a 21-8 victory over Hockinson on Senior Night in GSHL 2A football Friday.

The victory moved Woodland to 5-2, 1-2 in league. Hockinson falls to 1-6 and 1-2.

“This was a hard-fought game by both teams,” Woodland coach Mark Greenleaf said. “Our kids played with a lot of motivation to get the job done.”

After a scoreless first quarter, Hurn hit Nick Fuller on a 14-yard scoring toss in the second quarter, and added a 26-yard touchdown strike to Fuller in the third. Austin Ripp added a 7-yard scoring scamper in the fourth.

Fuller caught six passes for 125 yards, and Shane Brady added four receptions for 102. Ripp carried the ball 11 times for 60 yards to account for all of the Beavers’ rushing yards.

Defensively, Woodland recovered four Hockinson fumbles, with Tre Givens snagging two and Brady and Jake Elliott adding one apiece. Elijah Denis made 13 tackles, David Lubinski and Patrick Warner added eight apiece, and Givens six.

Engen, Harvey run wild as Tigers savage Loggers

CLATSKANIE — Storm Engen rushed for 133 yards on just six carries, and John Harvey added 110 more yards as Clatskanie blew out Vernonia 53-20 in a Lewis and Clark 3A League football game Friday.

“Defensively, the team played outstanding. Offensively, we were able to do whatever we wanted,” Clatskanie coach Tim Strong said.

The host Tigers penetrated Vernonia’s end zone four times in the first quarter. Cameron Carson threw touchdown passes to Harvey (45 yards) and Jason Childers (38). The Loggers then gave up a Jeran Cruz 24-yard TD and a Harvey 38-yarder.

Shea Atkins scored on a 10-yarder before Harvey struck again from 39 yards. Engen then turned in a couple of big plays, a 47-yard touchdown run followed by a 60-yard sprint on the first play of the second half.

Cruz ran for 61 yards on five carries, and Carson was 3-for-9 for 102 yards.

Atkins tracked down ball carriers all over the field and had an interception. Cruz and freshman Sean Shipley also picked off passes, and Childers played a strong game at outside linebacker for the Tigers (2-5, 1-0 league).

WARRENTON — Rainier’s blockers kicked down the door to Warrenton’s end zone Friday, and the Columbians flooded through for a 52-0 blowout in Lewis and Clark 3A League football action.

Nick Huelter, Mitch Staeffler, Cameron Hall, Chance Hoff and Brad Tripp comprised the devastating line. Matt Cathcart was the leading rusher with 144 yards and two touchdowns on five carries, including a 92-yard scoring ramble on the first play of the game.

LA CENTER — La Center’s Dillon Kelly left cleat marks all over Ilwaco’s defense Friday as the Fishermen lost 40-7 in SWW 1A Trico football action.

Lackluster start costly as Ducks fall to Pe Ell

TOUTLE — Porous defensive play in the first half by Toutle Lake allowed Pe Ell to score all the points it needed in a 14-6 victory over the Ducks in Central 2B League football Friday.

The loss dropped TL to 3-4, 2-3 in league. Pe Ell improved to 3-4 and 2-3.

“We didn’t get off to a good start defensively, but we picked it up and played a lot better in the second half,” TL coach Scott Grabenhorst said. “At times we moved the ball well, but neither team really generated anything consistent.”

After a scoreless first quarter, Pe Ell quarterback Tanner Lusk completed scoring strikes of 20 and 25 yards to Daniel Duncan in the second period for a 14-0 halftime lead.

The Ducks hit paydirt in the fourth quarter when Chris Foster scored on a 1-yard dive. During the scoring drive, quarterback Cody O’Connor completed passes of 34 yards to Corey Keefe, and 19 yards to Foster.

O’Connor passed for 100 of the Ducks’ 190 yards, and Foster carried the ball 12 times for 66 yards. TL’s second-half defensive attack was led by Zac Morain, Kaz Braga and Zack Hayes, and O’Connor also picked off a pass.
