With Raymond’s leading rusher McCartney Maden out of action due to an injury, freshman running back Iyven Perez ran for 62 yards on eight carries in reserve of Maden.

Raymond head coach Luke Abbott praised his offense in the way they stepped up in Maden’s absence.

“Offensively, I felt we did a very good job moving the ball throughout the game,” Abbott said. “(Perez) is a freshman but he showed his ability to help us out both tonight and in the future. … Joseph Villalpando did a great job carrying the load tonight. … We knew he had to step up and he did.”

The win gives Raymond the third seed out of the Coastal Division and a crossover game at Toledo (5-3, 3-1 Central 2B) at 7 p.m. on Friday.

WF West 56, Aberdeen 28

Aberdeen’s upset bid was spoiled as the Bobcats were outscored by 21 points after halftime in a 56-28 loss to WF West on Friday in Aberdeen.

Aberdeen (3-6 overall, 2-3 Evergreen 2A) held serve with WF West (8-1, 4-1) in the first half.

The Bobcats took an early 6-0 lead on a 10-yard touchdown run by running back Ethan Morrill in the first quarter.

WF West scored a touchdown on the ensuing kick return, but the extra-point attempt failed as Aberdeen held on to a slim 7-6 lead.

But WF West took the lead with less than a minute to go in the quarter on a 22-yard passing play for a 14-12 advantage.

With nine minutes to go in the second quarter, WF West extended its lead to 21-12 on a short touchdown run.

Richie cut into the lead with a 3-yard TD run at the four minute mark. Aberdeen’s Cody Beemis hit Connar Sherman for a two-point conversion that cut the Bearcats’ lead to 21-20.

After another short WF West TD run, Richie scored on a 1-yard run and ran in the subsequent conversion to tie the game at 28-28 with a minute left in the half.

But WF West converted an 11-yard pass play to score with less than a minute to go in the quarter, making it a 35-28 game at halftime.

The second half belonged to the Bearcats, as quarterback Josiah Johnson threw two touchdown passes and the Bearcats’ defense scored on a pick-6 interception return with five minutes left in the game to earn the 56-28 victory.

The loss puts Aberdeen in a three-way tie for the final two playoff spots in the 2A Evergreen League.

Hoquiam will enter the crossover round as the 2A Evergreen League’s No. 2 seed and will face the Trico League’s No. 2 seed, Castle Rock (7-2, 4-1), at 7 p.m. on Friday at Castle Rock High School.

Pe Ell-Willapa Valley 48, Ilwaco 8

Pe Ell-Willapa Valley’s Kollin Jurek had one of the best games of his career with 201 yards rushing and two touchdowns in the Titans 48-8 road win over Ilwaco on Friday.

PWV (6-3, 5-0 Pacific 2B) had its run game working on a night where it racked up 427 yards on the ground and got the scoring started with a 1-yard touchdown run from Max Smith at 11:08 in the first quarter.

Titans quarterback Tyler Adkins contributed to the run game as well with a 10-yard touchdown run at 6:38 to put PWV up 13-0.

Adkins got the job done with his arm on the next possession with a 19-yard pass to receiver Sam Western at 10:48 in the second quarter to push the Titans’ lead to 19-0.

Ilwaco (4-5, 2-3) got on the board with a touchdown at 5:45 in the second quarter, but PWV’s Landin Isaken responded with 43 seconds left before halftime with 4-yard touchdown run to bring the score to 28-7.

Titans assistant coach John Peterson had high praise for Jurek, who led the team in rushing yards and tallied a team-leading seven tackles.

Ocosta 61, Chief Leschi 0

Ocosta put up 40 points in the first quarter alone en route to a 61-0 victory over Chief Leschi on Friday at Griffin Field in Ocosta.

Ocosta quarterback Cole Hatton threw five touchdowns in the game as Ocosta (8-1, 4-1 Pacific 2B) earned a running clock with just eight minutes elapsed in the game.

Hatton went over 3,000 yards passing in his prep career in the game.

“This is Cole’s third year in the system and he’s really taken over the position and owned it,” said Ocosta head coach Chris Raffleson, who added Hatton’s pre-snap recognition of the defense has helped make Ocosta’s offense that much more dangerous. “With this (run-pass option) offense, he has the liberty to change the plays. He reads stuff so well and he has a lot of fun out there.”

Wildcats running back Dakota Davis also had a landmark game against the Warriors (2-7, 1-4) broke assistant coach Keith Beck’s all-time single-season school receiving record of 624 yards by going over 700 yards after Friday’s game.

Ocosta enters the crossover round as the second-seed out of the Coastal Division and will host Adna (4-3, 1-2), the No. 3 seed out of the 2B Pacific League’s Mountain Division, at 7 p.m. on Friday.

“We can’t seem to get away from them,” quipped Raffelson, whose team lost to Adna 49-0 in last season’s crossover game. “They’re a great team and we’ll work hard getting ready for them.”
