Tekoa/Rosalia gridders hammered Republic on the turf at Chewelah Friday to advance their record to 2-1. The Timberwolves, who again are playing a non-league schedule, are slated to make the long trip to Curlew Friday for their fourth game of the season.

Republic and T/R Friday tied at 8-8 after the first quarter, and then T/R ran 42 unanswered points with 22 in the last quarter.

Coach Cliff Harris noted they won by running Noah Beach, Keegan French and Kenneth Lenoir up the middle and Riley McLain on the outside.

Rushing totals included 180 for McLain, 130 for Craig Mueller, and 95 for Beach.

Republic was held to 135 yards rushing and 95 passing.

Tekoa/Rosalia gridders rolled past Northport 70-6 the previous Friday night at Rosalia. Beach had two scores for the Timberwolvles.

Tekoa/Rosalia bowed to Entiat 12-42 in their season home opener at Rosalia last week.
