Jayden Stoddard Delivers Best Performance of Season
Jayden Stoddard produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Wahkiakum to the win on Friday. Stoddard rushed for 180 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries, and also threw for 227 yards and four touchdowns on only 16 passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. Wahkiakum is 4-1 when Stoddard posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
The victory was the fourth in a row for Wahkiakum, bringing their record for this year to 5-3. Stoddard and Wahkiakum will look to defend their home field on Friday against Evergreen Lutheran at 7:00 p.m.
