Raymond-South Bend 27, Rainier 26

Raymond-South Bend senior Chris Banker set a new program record in the Ravens’ 27-26 win over Rainier on Friday in Rainier.

Banker carried the ball 32 times for 284 yards, breaking the previous record for rushing yards in a game of 228 by Ferrill Johnson two seasons ago.

The Ravens (2-0 overall) trailed 14-0 at halftime before turning the game around in the second half, thanks in large part to Banker, who gained more than 225 of his 284 yards over the final two quarters of play.

RSB trailed 20-14 after third-quarter touchdown runs from running back Manny Souza (11 yards) and Banker (17 yards).

Banker broke loose for two more touchdown runs in the fourth frame – one of 37 yards followed by a 40-yarder with just over five minutes to play – to stake RSB to a 27-20 lead.

Rainier responded when running back Jordan Pringle caught an 18-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jackson Stockdale with just under two minutes left.

But the Mountaineers would get no closer as RSB earned its second victory of the season.

RSB head coach Luke Abbott said he challenged his players at halftime, and they responded.

“I told them, ‘Guys, man up a little bit. I know you got more in the tank than what you are showing. Be a little bit more aggressive and stop being intimidated by guys. Let’s man up and play the game of football, darn it,’” he said. “In the fourth quarter, I think our conditioning played a big factor in just continuing to move the ball and our guys having gas in the tank. They got a little more confidence because we started moving the ball and we started pushing people around a little bit and Chris ran the ball like a man.”

RSB finished the game with 351 rushing yards.

The Ravens host Hoquiam at 7 p.m. Friday at Raymond High School.

Highline 31, Elma 28

Elma had little time to prepare for a last-second replacement opponent as the Eagles fell to 3A-class Highline 31-28 on Friday at Davis Field in Elma.

The Eagles (1-1) were originally scheduled to face Stevenson, but the Bulldogs pulled out of the scheduled matchup on Wednesday because of a lack of players (12) due to injuries and ineligibility, leaving little time for Elma to find a replacement opponent, and even less time to prepare.

“When I broke the news Wednesday at practice, I told (the players) to stay ready for anything that can happen and they definitely did that,” Elma head coach Larry Raynes said. “It throws off all of the normal routines that we do. Instead of a normal Thursday, we were watching film and preparing on one day (notice). It was definitely tough. I’ve never been in a situation as a coach like that.”

Despite the disruptions to the routine, Elma held a 21-3 lead in the second quarter thanks to two touchdowns by running back Colt Landstrom – including a 75-yard punt return to the house – and a 50-touchdown pass from quarterback Isaac McGaffey to senior receiver Dayton Brookins.

But two scoring passes from Highline quarterback Josiah Barron to Kael Stuart cut Elma’s lead to 21-17 at halftime.

Barron connected with Jabarri Crawford for a 29-yard touchdown to give the Pirates (1-1) a 24-21 lead with just over four minutes left in the game.

The Pirates then recovered an onside kick and drove to the Elma 10. A few plays later, Highline kicker Fabian Perez-Cedeno’s field-goal attempt was blocked, with Landstrom scooping up the loose ball and racing 80 yards for a touchdown, staking Elma to a 28-24 lead with 2:31 remaining.

But Highline got the ball back after a short kickoff and drove 40 yards in nine plays – including a key 4th-and-3 conversion by Barron for 16 rushing yards – and scored on a Barron pass to Tristian Gandy with under two minutes to go.

Elma drove to the Highline 30 with time winding down, but two McGaffey shots at the end zone fell incomplete as the Eagles’ peculiar week ended with a 31-28 loss.

Landstrom finished with seven catches for 101 yards while Brookins had five catches for 96 yards.

McGaffey went 12 for 31 for 197 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.

Barron led the Pirates, going 19 for 29 for 352 yards, four touchdowns and one interception by Eagles defender Gavin Muir in the first quarter.

Highline had 463 total yards of offense to 318 for Elma.

Elma linebacker Kolby Rademacher led the defense with 16 tackles (7 solo) – two for losses – and a fumble recovery.

“The kids battled so hard. I’m so proud of them and their effort. We just missed little opportunities, but overall, it was great for the team. It feels like one of those moral victories,” Raynes said. “I’m glad with the opponent we got. It was a great test. We came out healthy and learned a heck of a lot.”

Elma plays at Sequim at 7 p.m. on Friday.

King’s Way Christian 57, Hoquiam 35

Hoquiam continued to find plenty of offense this early in the season, but the defense was left wanting in a 57-35 loss to King’s Way Christian on Friday in Vancouver.

Freshman quarterback K.J. McCoy showed once again he is ready for the Friday night lights by completing 19-of-27 passes for 303 yards and five touchdowns.

Four of McCoy’s touchdown passes were for 30 yards or more, with his favorite targets being receivers Ethan Byron and Jovanni Koth.

Byron caught seven passes for 123 yards and three scores while Koth snared five receptions for 114 yards and a pair of scores.

The two wideouts combined for score late in the fourth quarter when McCoy scrambled then passed to Koth, who raced all the way to the Knights’ 10-yard line before lateraling the ball to Byron, who scored to cut the KWC lead to 51-35.

But the Hoquiam defense couldn’t slow the Knights as KWC chewed up clock and scored on a 10-yard run with just under four minutes left in the game. It was the Knights’ eighth touchdown of the game.

“Proud of how we fought for four quarters and some tough lessons were learned,” Hoquiam assistant coach Cameron Parker said. “Too many young mistake and ill-timed penalties killed drives and gave the other team more opportunities that they took advantage of. Proud of K.J. and how he battled. Ryan Pullar’s leadership kept us believing until the very end. Getting Javonni (Koth) back this week was a huge boost for us and seeing Ethan Byron really emerging as a big contributor was great to see. We’ll rally around each other and get back to work next week.”

Hoquiam plays faces Raymond-South Bend at 7 p.m. Friday at Raymond High School.

Montesano 35, Ridgefield 7

No stunning fourth-quarter comeback was needed as Montesano earned a convincing 35-7 victory over Ridgefield on Friday in Montesano.

The Bulldogs (2-0) played well in all facets of the game en route to the dominant win over the 2A-class Spudders (0-2).

Monte’s offense amassed 485 yards of total offense and was balanced, with 264 yards gained on the ground and 221 through the air.

Running backs Zach Timmons (13 carries, 135 yards) and Terek Gunter (8-81) led Monte’s rushing attack while quarterback Tyson Perry was near-perfect, completing 10 of 13 passes for 187 yards and two touchdowns without an interception.

Perry spread the ball around with five different Bulldogs receivers catching a pass, led by Kole Kjesbu with four receptions for 110 yards and two touchdowns.

Kole Kjesbu caught four passes for 110 yards to lead a receiving corps that had five different players catch a pass.

Toren Crites also caught four passes for 55 yards and also made his presence known on special teams with an 85-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown to put Monte up 14-0 in the first quarter, his second score of the frame.

Kjesbu hauled in a 19-yard touchdown pass from Perry to extend the lead to 21-0 at halftime and Monte would go up 28-0 when Perry hit Timmons with a 36-yard pass for a touchdown early in the third quarter.

Monte backup quarterback Coco Wilson hit Kjesbu for a 34-yard score to put the Bulldogs ahead 35-0 with just under a minute to play in the third quarter, allowing head coach Terry Jensen to play his reserves in the final frame and give his starters a well-deserved rest.

“Our defense was a big trigger to it,” Jensen said of his team’s overall performance. “Our defense played really well for the most part and we did a lot of good things offensively. … We were just really balanced. … I’m really proud of the kids and coaching staff. They got our kids ready to play.”

Montesano’s defense was led by linebackers Carter Conklin-Smith (7 tackles, sack), Kaden Stott (7 tackles), defensive end Mason Fry (2 sacks), and Crites, who had seven tackles, recovered two fumbles and blocked a field goal as a major X-factor in the game.

The Bulldogs host Black Hills at 7 p.m. on Friday.

Ocosta 48, Winlock 12

Ocosta’s run game proved to be the difference-maker in a 48-12 win over Winlock on Friday at Ocosta High School.

The Wildcats (1-1) capped a 60-yard scoring drive on their opening possession when wide receiver Dayshawn Carter scored on a 40-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Ronin Rutzer.

“Our offensive line set the tone for the game tonight, opening up holes for the backs to run through,” said Ocosta head coach Keith Beck, citing the play of linemen Caden Arbona, Kody Bickmore and Korbin Turner. “The defense was flying around, that was fun to watch. These boys came and put the work in this week and it paid off tonight.”
