Chief Kanim defeats Mann
Chief Kanim Middle School’s seventh grade football team
defeated a scrappy Mann team 34-6 last Tuesday at Chief Kanim. The Hawks
had great success on both the defensive and offensive sides of the ball with
an aggressive defense that stopped Mann’s running game, and an
effective offense that put 34 points on the scoreboard.
Stu Trombley started off the game with a 42-yard touchdown
scamper and then kicked in the extra point to make the score 8-0. Erik
Alexander then threw a seven yard touchdown pass to Corey Lindberg to make
the score 14-0. After that, Dane Portscheller blasted into the end
zone for a four yard touchdown run making the score 20-0.
Mann scored a touchdown just five seconds into the second
quarter to make the halftime score 20-6. Erik Alexander started off the third
quarter by throwing a nine-yard touchdown pass to Nick Dietch. Trombley
added the extra point. He then finished off the scoring with a 25-yard
touchdown run making the final score 34-6. Brandon Reaves and Portscheller led
an aggressive defensive charge to hold Mann to 6 points.
Coach Blake and Coach Boyer were extremely proud of the
Hawks. The Hawks are now 4-0 and travel to Suprise Lake this week.
SMS defeats Keithly
The Snoqualmie Middle School junior-varsity football team
improved its record to 2-2 with a win over Keithly last week, final score 14-13.
The Eagles began the game with a 40-yard screen pass completion
from Kyle Meuli to Cody Hyatt. Three plays later, the Eagles converted it into
a touchdown. The remainder of the half was a battle, with each team’s
defense shutting down their opponent’s offense.
In the second half, each team’s defense proved too much and
didn’t allow much offensive power. Late in the third quarter, Keithly took
advantage of an Eagle fumble and scored a touchdown three plays later.
Both teams were shut down in the fourth quarter and the game went into
overtime, the opposing teams tied 7-7.
In the first series of overtime, both teams failed to score. Yet in the
second series, Hyatt scored on a sweep to the outside and Beau Davis
converted the extra point. Though Keithly scored during its possession, the
Eagle defense shut down the extra point attempt and walked away with a
14-13 victory.
Keithley at Chief Kanim
Chief Kanim Middle School’s 8th grade football team hosted Keithley
on Wednesday, Oct. 18.
The game started with Keithley taking the ball right down the field
to score. The conversion was good and Keithley led 7-0. The Hawks
drove down the field themselves and were stopped on the 3 yard line. The
half ended at 7-0.
In the second half, the large and fast Keithley team wore down
the Hawks. The final score ended at 25-0. Nick Bennett, Pete Yore and
Zach Elmer all had fumble recoveries for the Hawks. Leading CKMS in
tackles were Chris Nevins with 10, Jimmie Henrie with 7, and Bryan Wylet
and Erik Tierney, each with 5. The Hawks will host White River next
