The Sound Christian Lions will challenge the Naselle Comets at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, both will really light up the scoreboard.
While Lions fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Saturday's season opener. They never let Ocosta onto the board and left with a 44-0 victory on Saturday.
Kona Resseau was nothing short of spectacular: he rushed for 203 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.9 yards per carry, and also threw for 199 yards and a touchdown while completing 75% of his passes. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made four total tackles in addition to snagging an interception. Sound Christian also got help from Sam Hunt, who showed off his sure hands for 117 receiving yards.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Sound Christian was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 292 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Ocosta only rushed for 36.
Meanwhile, you can't lose the match if you win every quarter, and that was precisely Naselle's strategy against Wahkiakum on Friday. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that Naselle blew Wahkiakum out of the water with a 72-6 final score. The Comets pushed the score to 66-6 by the end of the third, a deficit the Mules had no chance of recovering from.
Jacob Lindstrom had an outrageously good game as he rushed for 121 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries. The team also got some help courtesy of Jack Strange, who gained 70 total yards and two touchdowns.
Naselle's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Scott Henington and Lindstrom.
Sound Christian took a serious blow against Naselle in their previous matchup back in September of 2023, falling 74-28. That matchup was all but decided by halftime, at which point Sound Christian was down 60-14.
