YAKIMA — The West as a team was overwhelmed by the East, but local standouts shined at the 25th annual Earl Barden All-Star Classic at Zaepfel Stadium
The East won 37-6, but Sequim quarterback Riley Cowan was named the West’s offensive MVP. One of four quarterbacks used by the West, Cowan threw the only TD of the game for his team in the second quarter, a four-yarder to Tyler Nevin of Concrete.

It was Cowan’s final high school football game. He will be playing football for George Fox University in Newberg, Ore., this fall.
