Game recaps - Week 4

Naselle 54 - South Bend 14

Just like last week against Raymond, the Comets got off to a bit of a shaky start against rival and defending state champ South Bend Friday night. But, just like last week, once they got it going, they never looked back.

The Comets broke open a close game wide open with 34 unanswered points in the second and third quarters as they rolled to a 55-14 victory.

QB Levi Bale scored South Bend's two touchdowns on a punt return and a 35-yard run in the first quarter before being knocked out of the game in the second quarter with a concussion.

 Sam Scrabeck led the way for the Comets with 121 yards on the ground and two scores. The Comets balanced attack also featured Dustin Eaton running for 109 yards and two scores in the first half and throwing for 79 more, including a 24 yard scoring strike to Chandler Chapman. His brother Robert Eaton ran for 108 yards and three scores.

 The Comets had 491 yards on offense. Defensively, Levi Wasmundt had nine tackles, Jake Condon made seven, and Chandler Chapman picked off two passes.

Naselle (4-0, 2-0 league) visits Willapa Valley (3-1, 2-0) on Friday in a game that could decide the Pacific League.

Kalama 41 - Ilwaco 0

The Fishermen were down before they even knew what hit'em Friday night as Kalama blew out Ilwaco 41-0.

The Fishermen's first two offensive possessions ended in fumble turnovers on the first snap, both times leading to easy Kalama TDs. The Fishermen were down 20-0 four minutes into the game.

Kalama's Jake Clizbe ran for 147 yards and scored four touchdowns. With the game easily in hand, the Chinooks chose to attempt on-side kicks after their last two scores, including once up by 41 points and with the mercy rule in effect. Ilwaco recovered the kicks both times.
Ilwaco coach Kevin McNulty said. "We got down in the red zone three times and fumbled each time. We made a good team look like a stellar team by our fumbling the ball seven times."

Ilwaco quarterback Eric McMillan, who  left the game with a wrist injury,  completed 3 of 8 passes for 75 yards, including a 50-yard strike to Edgar Galvan. The Fishermen also rushed for 118 yards.
On Friday, Ilwaco (2-2, 1-1) visits La Center.
