They've racked up as many wins as they had all last year.
They've outscored their three football opponents by a
whopping 141-46.

Eric Dungey.
For it all, the Pacers from
Lakeridge (Lake Oswego) have earned the MaxPreps Oregon Team of
the Week, presented by the Oregon National Guard.
Lakeridge won its third straight game on Friday with
a 48-7 win over North Salem as Dungey, a 6-foot-4, 195-pound junior,
completed 16 of 20 passes for 252 yards and four touchdowns. He also
rushed for 76 yards and two more scores on just four carries.
He and backup
Keaton Wood, only a sophomore, spread the ball around beautifully as
nine different Pacers caught passes, including four for 66 yards by
junior
Jack Cole.
Three others — seniors
Chase Marshall and
Joe Sindlinger, along with sophomore
Holden Catlett — also caught touchdowns and Catlett also led the
team with 84 rushing yards on nine carries.
On
defense, Lakeridge had big contributions from seniors
Clarke Smith and
Marqueese Royster, who had 12 and 10 tackles respectively. Senior
Vontrell Mills and junior
Andrew Domenico added nine tackles apiece.
Dungey, Marshall, who caught a 65-yard touchdown
pass, and
Joel Schwarz earned Player of the Game awards from coach Tom
Smythe.
Schwartz intercepted a pass and returned it
26 yards for a touchdown.
Dungey ranks fourth in the
state in passing yards (837), while completing 51 of 75 with 12
touchdowns and just one interception. His QB rating of 139 is second in
the state.
As a sophomore, Dungey passed for 1,692
yards, rushed for 607 more and accounted for 25 touchdowns.
J.R. Mclaughlin ranks fifth in the state with 327 receiving yards
(he played just two games) and senior Smith is ninth in the state in
tackles with 30.
Lakeridge, ranked 19th in the
state, takes a huge step upward in competition when it travels to No. 13
Oregon
City, which has outscored foes 117-34.
Last season, Oregon City defeated Lakeridge 59-23 in
Lake Oswego.
