Game recaps - Better late than never?

For a variety of reasons we neglected to get this up on the site Saturday, I guess you can say we dropped the ball.... our apologies, here ya go

Ilwaco 21 - Columbia of White Salmon 42
ILWACO - Ilwaco scored a season-high 21 points, but Columbia of White Salmon came away with a 42-21 Trico League victory on Homecoming night at Peterson Field Friday. The Fishermen took the opening kickoff and marched 67 yards in 11 plays to take a 7-0 lead at the 5:51 mark of quarter number one.
Trevor Couch scored on a 27-yard run and Christian Dekeyser's kick split the uprights after Ilwaco had rattled off four first downs with their double-wing offensive scheme. It took the Bruins only two plays to tie the contest when fullback Kristien Contreras rambled 67 yards down the right sideline and Jenson Ladiges raced in from nine yards out on the next play for a TD. Felix Torres booted the first of six consecutive extra points he would convert on the evening to tie the game.

Naselle 59 - North Beach 14
NORTH BEACH - After a slow start Naselle broke open a Pacific League game at North Beach Friday to breeze to a 59-14 victory. It was the Comets second consecutive game in which the running clock was used as part of the 45-point mercy rule.
After Naselle took a 27-6 lead into the locker room at the half, Jesus Martinez returned the opening kickoff of the third period for a touchdown, the third time he has done so this season and that score broke the Hyaks' back. Naselle's Alan Erickson and Logan Scrabeck each scored two touchdowns in the first half and Nate Carlson, Scrabeck, Kai Leach and John Hines scored TD's in the second half in the victory.
Naselle ran up 407 yards rushing, their highest total of the season. Erickson led the Comets with 10 tackles, Leonel Mendoza added six tackles, including a sack and Ryley Queener blocked a punt to spark Naselle's defensive effort.
The Comets are now 7-1 on the year and are tied with South Bend for second place with a 3-1 league record behind Valley's 4-0 mark. Naselle will host South Bend next Friday with playoff implications on the line. The winner of that game will likely be in the state playoffs and the loser will probably be in a winner-to-state game against the winner of the Wahkiakum-Mossyrock contest, which will also be played next Friday.
