Yesterday Needham got to play in the final game, scoring 2 touchdowns. Riley Arnold was moved from the line to running back and scored his first touchdown. Wide receiver Asher Irvine caught a 40-yard pass from Kade Acker to the 5-yard line to set up a touchdown. The Stampeders coaching staff gave praise to Rodolfo Gomez for his defensive play.
Sequim completed a perfect season at 6-0, beating Forks 16-8. Clayton Ernst hit Kade Miller for a 2-yard touchdown pass and Fred Wilhem kicked both of his 2-point conversions. With the score tied 8-8 with 5:28 left in the game Kade Miller hit Nolan Bacchus for a 27-yard touchdown.
