SPORTS: Charles Wright spoils Chimacum's homecoming game; other prep football reports

CHIMACUM — Charles Wright spoiled the Chimacum football team’s homecoming with a 34-7 victory on a brisk Friday night at Memorial Field.

The Tarriers (4-1 in league, 5-1 overall) scored four touchdowns between the second and third quarters to pull away for the Class 1A Nisqually League win.

“We did some really good things offensively and defensively, but our own mistakes really was the difference in this game,” Chimacum coach Shawn Meacham said. “Not to take anything away from Charles Wright but we beat ourselves.

“If we play a mentally tough game, it would have been a different outcome.

“We are a dangerous team when we play mentally tough football as a whole team.”

Chimacum (1-4, 1-6) scored its lone touchdown in the fourth quarter to avoid a shutout as Derek Ajax ran for a 3-yard score and Kyle Madayag kicked the extra point.

The Cowboys had 141 yards on the ground and another 80 through the air.

Justin Morris led on defense with eight solo tackles, four assists and a fumble recovery, while Daryl Settlemire had seven solo tackles and two assists plus a fumble recovery.

Joe Modispacher added six solo tackles and a fumble recovery.

“They all had another great game defensively,” Meacham said.

“Charles Wright did not run a single play towards Daryl Settlemire the entire second half. He is one of the best defensive players in the league.”

The Cowboys now travel to Cedar Park Christian (3-2, 5-2) this Friday with the league game set for Juanita High School in Kirkland.

Lopez 80,

Crescent 36

JOYCE— Undefeated Lopez rolled over Crescent 80-36 in Northwest Football League action in a rare Friday afternoon game.

Lopez (5-0 in league and overall) scored 30 points in the first quarter and 38 in the third.

Crescent (3-3, 4-3) scored twice in the second period and three times in the third quarter behind big Mike Zapien’s 156 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.

The game was halted with 11:25 left to play in the fourth quarter when the Lobos scored their final touchdown to trigger the 40-point mercy rule.

Tommy Kramer was a one-man wrecking ball for Lopez as he scored nine touchdowns.

“Kramer is just an outstanding football player,” Crescent coach Darryl Yount said.

Kramer is a former state champion in the 100-meter dash and he is also an outstanding shot putter, Yount said.

“He combines all that speed and strength to be the kind of player who can succeed at the next level. We had no answer for him,” Yount said.

“Defensively, it just continues to be a struggle.”

Offensively, though, the Loggers were fine once they uncorked in the second quarter.

While Zapien ran for two touchdowns, Crescent quarterback Kai Story had two scoring throws to Joel Williams.

Story passed for 145 yards in the game while Williams caught eight passes for 95 yards.

Eric Larson led on defense with seven tackles and an interception.

Williams also had a pick to go along with his five tackles.

Gene Peppard had six tackles in the game.

The Loggers have a bye this coming week and then play at Tulalip Heritage on Oct. 29.

Clallam Bay 40, Tulalip 12

CLALLAM BAY — Ryan Willis threw for three touchdowns and ran for another to help boost the Bruins to their third win in four games Friday night.

Clallam Bay pulled away with two touchdowns in the third quarter — one on a 5-yard Austin Ritter run and the other on a 28-yard pass from Willis to Bryce Hatt — to roll to a much-needed Northwest Football League victory.

“It was a big win for us,” Clallam Bay coach Cal Ritter said. “We dominated the line of scrimmage and my kids are in midseason form.

“I’m really happy with how the boys are playing.”

Clallam Bay (3-2, 3-3) had control of the game throughout, despite turning the ball over five times.

Austin Ritter led the Bruins with 165 yards of offense, including 130 on the ground on 20 carries, and three touchdowns.

Jeremy Rock added 108 yards and one touchdown on 17 carries, while Willis was 5-of-9 through the air for 61 yards, three TDs and two interceptions.

“Matt Mohr, Kelly Gregory and Joe Maneval did a superb job [on the offensive line],” Cal Ritter said. “I couldn’t ask for them to do any better.

“They made it so we could pass. They made it so we could run. Hats off to my offensive line.”

After giving up two touchdowns in the first half to lead 18-12 at the break, the Clallam Bay defense shut out Tulalip the rest of the way. The unit also came up with a safety toward the end of the game.

“Putting these last two wins together really help build a little momentum,” Cal Ritter said.

“Hopefully we can take that to Muckleshoot next weekend.”

Neah Bay 34, Highland Chri. 0

NEAH BAY — Thin Highland Christian of Arlington got even thinner during the game and threw up the white flag early in the second quarter with the Red Devils leading 34-0 on Friday night.

Showing up with only eight players for 1B eight-man football, Highland Christian lost two players to injury, one on what became the final play of the game with 11:47 left in the first half.

Neah Bay, hungry for playing time after receiving a forfeit from Muckleshoot recently, improved to 5-0 in the Northwest Football League and 5-1 overall while Highland fell to 1-5, 1-6.

The third-ranked Red Devils, winners of five straight after losing to top-ranked Lummi in the first game of the season, now will host Quilcene this Friday night.

Against Highland, quarterback Josiah Greene threw three touchdown passes while Titus Pascua and Tyler McCaulley had long scoring runs.

Josiah Greene had scoring passes to Zeke Greene, Keaton Hawkins and Leyton Doherty.

Rainier 28,

Forks 12

RAINIER — Missing a few key players, the Spartans came back in the second half but fell short by a couple of touchdowns in SWL-Evergreen Division action Friday night.

The loss means Forks has no margin for error in the race for a playoff spot after falling to 2-3 in league and 2-5 overall.

“We have to win out now,” coach Mark Feasel said.

That won’t be easy as the Spartans host Tenino (4-1, 6-1) in their final home game of the season next Friday.

The Rainier Mountaineers, meanwhile, stayed in the hunt for the playoffs by improving to 2-3, 3-4.

Forks was missing two key two-way players because they were ineligible against Rainier, including top receiver Tyler Penn.

In addition, fullback Sergio Chase missed the game because of a strained knee that he suffered in practice last week.

Chase won’t be able to practice this week but might be able to play against Tenino, Feasel said.

Plus Feasel is hoping to get his ineligible players back by next week.

Rainier led 28-0 at halftime but the Spartans scored twice in the second half while not giving up a touchdown to make a game of it.

“In the second half, to their credit, our kids buckled down and got it done,” Feasel said. “They could have given up.”

The Spartans also came out in the second half in the shotgun formation, which got their passing game going.

Brady Castellano threw two touchdown passes for Forks, including one for 10 yards to Jonah Penn, and one for 14 yards to sophomore Brett Pederson.

In the first half, the Spartans had problems against Rainier’s running game.

“You have to give Rainier a lot of credit because they have a big line and they pounded the ball down the field,” Feasel said.

“Their ground game is pretty darn stout.”

The Spartans also moved the ball well on the ground but ended up shooting themselves in the foot in the red zone, with either a penalty here or an interception there.

Feasel praised Braden Decker for having a great game on both sides of the ball and Shane WhiteEagle for another outstanding running game.

Game statistics were not available.

Lummi 63, Quilcene 18

QUILCENE — The Rangers played their hearts out against the top-ranked 1B team in the state at their homecoming game Saturday.

It took until there were only four minutes left in the game for Lummi (5-0, 7-0) to stop the Northwest Football League game because of the 40-point mercy rule.

A lot of teams don’t make it to the second half with Lummi.

“They put their second team in against us in the second quarter and we started to score on them, so they kept their first team in against us for the entire second half,” Quilcene coach Nic Dahl said.

“We played real tough and didn’t give up.”

The Rangers (2-3, 3-3) can’t let up now, though, because third-ranked Neah Bay looms this coming week.

Quilcene plays at the Red Devils on Friday night.

“I love it,” Dahl said. “I love the competition.”

Colton Pol caught two touchdown passes in the game for the Rangers while Devon Greenwood had a 35-yard run for a score.

Jake Pleines and Colby Schreier threw one scoring strike each to Pol.
