The bad news is, Ilwaco had a really bad first week. The good news? The only Trico team to have a worse week is coming to town Friday night.
Seton Catholic, in their inaugural varsity football season, took a 62-7 loss at home to Castle Rock last Friday. The Cougars struggled mightily on both sides of the ball, giving up 541 yards of offense while amassing just 95 of their own. Their QB, Will Noce-Sheldon, is likely their best weapon, having scored their only TD on a short run, and throwing 4-13 passes for 57 yards.
And though they didn't have much to show for it, the Fishermen managed to put together a decent offensive showing against a strong La Center team, racking up 195 total yards — 176 of which on the ground. Ilwaco had to shuffle their line up a bit after starting fullback Adam Hernandez went out early with a rolled ankle, moving Marcus Cox over from tight end. Cox led the Fishermen with two catches for 19 yards, and added 25 more on the ground.

Naselle @ Knappa, Friday, 7 p.m., Sept. 7
Once the Comets knocked the rust off at halftime last week they looked a lot more like the Comets teams people around the valley have come to expect, turning a close 12-6 game into a 39-6 blowout win over the visiting Rainier Mountaineers. This week they go on the road to face a Knappa team that is trying to rebuild after a disappointing last season — including a week 1 loss at Naselle 47-6.
This year the Loggers will host the Comets in their season opener, their first with a new head coach and a new backfield. The Loggers were hot and cold last season, winning just enough to make the playoffs, but being quickly knocked out in the first round with a blowout loss.
The Comets offense, once warmed up, ran like clockwork, with Dustin Eaton putting on quite a show with 166 passing yards and three TD throws and 85 more on the ground with two more TDs. Chandler Chapman was the go-to guy at the goal line, pulling in three TD catches, while Brendan Greenfield pulled in four catches for a big 111 yards — a nearly 30 yards per catch average.

El perfecto thus far, 1-1 last week, looking to continue that trend.
W- Ilwaco vs. Seton Catholic
The Fishermen have a really good opportunity to get into the win column this week, and with Columbia coming to town next week, they might be able to put together a little win streak.

Don't be too surprised if the Comets get off to another slow start this week, but look for them to finish strong as they round out their "preseason".
