L.W. vs. Pomeroy
The St. John-Endicott Eagles picked up their second win of the season playing at Dayton Oct. 17, while Colton picked up their third loss.
Garfield-Palouse (3-2, 2-2) had a bye, in preparation to meet Pomeroy (4-3, 4-2) at home Friday.
Touchet’s win over Colton continued their unbeaten streak in the Southeast 1B league.
The Wildcats are now 3-3 (2-3 in league) heading into their Homecoming game Friday vs. Liberty Christian at 3 p.m.
St. John-Endicott will play Touchet (6-0, 5-0) at St. John Friday at 7 p.m.
Pomeroy 64
L-W-K 0
Pomeroy came to LaCrosse for the Tigercats’ Homecoming game and the night ended with flowers in the dirt.
Losing 64-0 in their fifth shutout loss in a row, L-W-K dropped to 0-7 on the season.
Pomeroy scored first in the game on a recovered fumble after a snap went over the head of L-W-K punter Chance Rice.
From there, Pomeroy runners Cade Gingerich, Oscar Morfin, Havin Heytvelt and Devon Caruso escaped for several touchdown runs, building a 52-0 lead at halftime, when Tigercat royalty was crowned.
L-W-K and their 11 active players had to fill some new roles in the game.
Long-snapper Tom VanCamp had only practiced the position for a day, after backup Jacob Johnson went down to injury, following the injury of original long-snapper Jason Wigen.
Van Camp usually plays fullback.
Elsewhere, the Tigercats had a 113-pound running back playing tight end and a tight end at guard. Another L-W-L running back played at the other guard position.
"It was a tough night," said coach Justin Ziebel. "A lot of blown assignments and mental mistakes, which can happen after you’ve played a position for just a week of practice, or less."
L-W-K will play next at Sunnyside Christian Friday at 7 p.m.
Touchet 52
Colton 16
Colton dropped to 3-3 on the season with a 52-16 loss to unbeaten Touchet last Friday.
The Indians built a quick three-touchdown lead in the first quarter and went from there for a Southeast 1B league win.
After scoring twice on offense, the Indians returned a fumble to go up 22-0.
The Wildcats trailed 38-8 at halftime.
Quarterback Carter Dahmen went 22 for 35 passing for 263 yards and two touchdowns while Lane Moore caught four passes for 97 yards.
St. John-Endicott 80
Dayton 28
The Eagles rushed for more than 600 yards in a definitive win at Dayton last Friday.
With the front line opening holes, running back Wilson Lundberg scored four touchdowns while Jimmy Hollingshead had three.
"Our offensive line was just incredible. So was the defense," said Eagles’ assistant coach Ken Gering, who stepped in for absent head coach Steve Selk.
St. John-Encott is now 2-5 on the season and 1-4 in league. They will play next at home Friday vs. Touchet at 7 p.m.
