RAYMOND — Logan Scrabeck carried the ball 15 times for 161 yards and three touchdowns, and Jesus Martinez added a pair of scores as Naselle crushed Raymond 54-8 in Pacific 2B League football Friday.

Naselle (4-0, 1-0 league) ran for 322 of its 369 offensive yards while holding Raymond to fewer than 100 yards.

“We had five starters out since the Warrenton game for extracurricular activities, and the kids who filled in did a really good job,” Naselle coach Jeff Eaton said. “They won’t be back for next week’s game with Willapa Valley, but they will return for the game with Northwest Christian.”

Martinez returned the opening kickoff 82 yards for his first touchdown, and Scrabeck added an 8-yard scoring gallop later in the period for a 16-8 lead. Alan Erickson scored on a 2-yard dive early in the second period, and Scrabeck added scoring jaunts of 15 and 20 yards later in the quarter for a 40-8 halftime lead.

Naselle closed out its scoring in the third quarter on runs of 5 and 8 yards from Martinez and Robert Eaton.

John Hines carried the ball seven times for 59 yards, and freshman Kai Leach added six carries for 36. Defensively, Erickson had two quarterback sacks and eight tackles, junior Chase Chapman added six solo tackles and two assists, and Austin Burkhalter and Chris Walkowiak each had an interception.

Rylee Queener and Robert Eaton were praised for their play by Eaton.

Naselle hosts Willapa Valley next Friday.

Late turnovers too much for Hilanders to overcome

VANCOUVER — Kelso got a stellar performance from its defense, but too many mistakes on offense — including two fumbles and an interception in the final eight minutes — was its undoing in a 7-3 setback against Columbia River in nonleague football action Friday night.

“Our defense played well and put us in a position to win the game,” Hilanders coach Pat Hymes said. “We put pressure on their quarterback and did a good job with their running game. But you can’t make the mistakes we did in a close game and still expect to win.”

After a scoreless first half, Kelso (3-1) marched all the way to the Chieftains’ 10-yard line late in the third. After the drive stalled, Hymes sent placekicker onto the turf to boot a 27-yard field goal, and the freshman came through to give the Hilanders a 3-0 lead.

River (1-3), however, returned the favor with a touchdown drive to take a 7-3 advantage with 8:31 remaining.

Kelso fumbled the ball away on its next possession on a low pitch to tailback Lane Sari, but Sari got the ball back on the next play with an interception. With Sari and Jared O’Neil chewing up yards on the ground, the Hilanders traveled to the River 28-yard line with 1:46 remaining before senior quarterback Cameron Margaris threw a third-down interception.

Kelso got the ball back with under 30 seconds left, but fumbled again.

The Hilanders open Greater St. Helens 4A League play at Evergreen on Thursday.

Herbert, Holmes run wild in Toledo’s win over Mounties

TOLEDO — D.J. Herbert rushed for 160 yards on 24 carries and Brycen Holmes added 144 more on 22 attempts as Toledo wore down Rainier, Wash., 20-7 in an SWW 1A Evergreen Division football game Friday night.

“We getting better,” Toledo coach Perry Herbst said. “We played better this week than last week, which was our goal.”

The Indians (3-1, 1-1 league) took a 6-0 lead in the first quarter on a 45-yard punt return by Herbert, then went ahead 14-0 at halftime when Trevor Jones ran 7 yards for a TD. Jones passed to Jesse Wallace for the two-point conversion.

Herbert added his second score of the game on a 3-yard run in the fourth for a 20-0 lead, and the Mountaineers tallied their lone score on a 60-yard pass against blown coverage later in the fourth.

Toledo’s defense, led by middle linebacker Preston Tomes and tackle Caleb Thomas, limited Rainier to 49 total yards — not counting the long TD pass.

“They had 109 yards and that’s with a 60-yard touchdown,” Herbst said. “I thought our defense was outstanding.”

The Indians travel to Tenino next Friday.

Defending champ Knappa capitalizes on Tiger fumbles

KNAPPA — A familiar nemesis foiled Clatskanie here Friday in a 30-0 nonleague loss to defending Class 2A state champion Knappa.

The Tigers fumbled six times, losing three, and put too much pressure on their defense against a talented opponent.

“Knappa is exceptional,” Clatskanie coach Tim Strong said. “They don’t make any mistakes and, unfortunately, we did again.”

Knappa “worked real hard” for its 16 first-half points, Strong said. “We just got tired in the second half.”

Jeron Cruz rushed for 93 yards and did not fumble. Clatskanie had 175 rushing overall, and Strong praised the play of his offensive line.

Nose guard Connor Hulegaard and cornerback Jason Childers were defensive standouts for the Tigers (0-4), who host Chief Sealth of Seattle next Saturday.

Tatum, Pirates plunder Castle Rock in 40-10 win

ADNA — Anthony Tatum scored three touchdowns to lead Adna to a 40-10 victory over Castle Rock here Friday in a nonleague football game.

The Pirates, ranked third in the state among Class 2B teams, built a 27-0 halftime lead against the Rockets, who beat Adna last season at Castle Rock.

“They have some great athletes,” said CR coach Art Walsh. “They were fired up and ready to play, and we weren’t.”

Jean-Luc Allegar returned an interception 42 yards for Castle Rock’s first touchdown midway through the third quarter, and Matt Parker nailed a 29-yard field goal to cut the Adna lead to 27-10 with four minutes left in the period.

Castle Rock (2-2) couldn’t get any closer.

Chris Tinney carried the ball 18 times for 133 yards for the Rockets.

Tatum caught touchdown passes of 30 and 42 yards, and scored on a 5-yard run for the winners.

Castle Rock opens SWW 1A Trico Division play at home against White Salmon next Friday.

Mules kick out the Light 34-7 in Central 2B contest

VANCOUVER — Vancouver Christian scored on its opening drive, but Wahkiakum countered with 34 unanswered points as the Mules rolled to a 34-7 victory over the Light in Central 2B League football Friday.

“We have some starters out with injuries so we weren’t firing on all cylinders in the first half,” Wahkiakum coach Eric Hansen said. “We went in at halftime and made some adjustments, and came out and played better in the second half.”

Wahkiakum (3-1, 2-0 league) managed 106 offensive yards in the first half, but after adjustments amassed 208 yards in the final two quarters for 314 total yards. The Mules’ offense held Vancouver Christian to 193 yards, all on the ground.

Brandon Fudge scored on a 3-yard run late in the first quarter as the Mules trailed 7-6. After a scoreless second quarter, Bryce McClain and Fudge scored on runs of 13 and 1 yards in the third quarter, and Joel Nicolazzi and McClain found the end zone on runs of 5 and 9 yards in the fourth.

Zack Schneider carried the ball 19 times for 154 yards, and McClain added six totes for 73.

Wahkiakum visits Pe Ell on Friday.

Ilwaco (0-4) led 9-6 in the second quarter after Taylor Odneal scored on a 3-yard scamper, and Pe Ell snapped the ball out of the end zone on a punt attempt for an Ilwaco safety.

Pe Ell ran for 248 of its 273 yards. Ilwaco carried the ball 54 times for 214 yards, and completed 1-of-4 passes for 18.
