Garfield/Palouse senior Kaden Sanderson scored the first four touchdowns of an 82-8 win at St. John Sept. 13.
Garfield/Palouse went to 3-0 on the season with an 82-8 win over the Eagles of St. John/Endicott/ LaCrosse Sept. 14.
Playing at St. John, Gar/Pal led 38-0 at the end of the first quarter, during which the Vikings' Kaden Sanderson scored the first four touchdowns of the game, three rushing and one recovery of a fumble in the end zone.
The Eagles got on the scoreboard in the third quarter with a three-yard run by Kameron Greenhalgh.
Sanderrson led Gar/Pal on the night with 92 yards rushing on seven carries. Quarterback Austin Jones ran six times for 78 yards and Ethan Hawkins had one carry for a 65-yard touchdown.
Jones also passed 6-for-6 for 82 yards and two touchdowns.
For S.J.E.L, Owen Swannack rushed once for 45 yards and Doug Stash had four carries for 44 yards. Quarterback Tre Fleming went 6-for-21 for 66 yards and an interception – which Gar/Pal sophomore Daniel Kramer returned 35 yards for a touchdown.
The Vikings will play next at home Friday against Pomeroy (2-1).
Gar/Pal will look to contain senior quarterback Jace Gwinn, who eluded Vikings two years ago as a sophomore before Pomeroy did not field a varsity team in 2017.
Gwinn runs an unconventional offense for the Pirates, with misdirection, fakes and an unbalanced line.
"If you don't stay disciplined, you get out of position and give up a big play," said Gar/Pal coach Garrett Parrish.
Game time is 7 p.m. in Palouse.
