Titans 20, Timberwolves 0
RANDLE — Willapa Valley displayed a balanced offense against Morton–White Pass on Friday night, scoring touchdowns both on the ground and through the air.
Matt Pearson threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to receiver Ryan Shepherd to start off the night’s scoring. The Titans scored again with 14 seconds left in the first half when Pearson again threw to Shephard, this time for an 8-yard touchdown. The Titans led 12-0 going into the second half. With 4:32 to go in the third quarter Peter Hamilton scored on a 4-yard touchdown run and the Titans capitalized on the two point conversion.
Tyson Nissell was the leading rusher for the Titans with 14 carries for 62 yards. Pearson went 6-9 for 112 yards, two touchdowns and 3 interceptions. Ryan Shepherd caught five passes for 75 yards and two touchdowns.
“We started the game running, but they shut it down just a little bit,” PWV coach Josh Fluke said. “Then we started throwing it around and the guys made some good plays.”
Defensively, linebacker Peter Hamilton led the Titans on defense with 14 tackles and linebacker Nissell had nine. Defensive backs Cub Bair and Shepherd both had interceptions and Kaleb McCalden recovered a fumble.
The Titans (1-1) will host Mossyrock on Friday.
