Game recap - Comets 3-0 after league win

RAYMOND - Naselle had too many of what Coach Jeff Eaton called "blown opportunities" for his liking, but in the end it was a Raymond fumble deep in their territory late in the game that sealed a 20-7 Pacific League victory over the Seagulls there Friday.
"We fumbled nine times and lost five of them," Eaton lamented. "It seemed like we lost all nine because just about every time we would get into the Red Zone we'd turn the football over, and it wasn't just one kid. Most of our backs lost the handle."
Fortunately for the Comets the stalwart line of Trevin Leeland, Seth Scrabeck, Nick Zimmerman, Jesse Kimball, Ryley Queener, and tight end Jesse Lopez opened enough holes in Raymond's defense for Naselle to amass 329 yards rushing. Five Comets ball carriers toted the pigskin 58 times for an average gain of 5.7 yards per carry.
In the first period it was all Naselle as they drove for Robert Eaton touchdown from five yards out. In the second period Robert Eaton again crossed the goal line from 25 yards out, but the Comets could have had at least double the 12-7 lead they enjoyed at intermission had they not turned the ball over.
Late in the game Naselle recovered a Gull fumble and Dustin Eaton's pass to Jesse Lopez for 14 yards resulted in an insurance touchdown. Chase Chapman's run for extra point made the final tally 20-7. Lopez caught another pass for 29 yards from Dustin Eaton in the contest.
