The Wahkiakum Mules will venture away from home to take on the Northwest Christian Wolverines at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Wahkiakum knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 31 points or more in their past seven contests -- so hopefully Northwest Christian likes a good challenge.
Wahkiakum is headed into the matchup after thoroughly thrashing Chief Leschi: they outscored them in every quarter. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that the Mules blew the Warriors out of the water with a 72-6 final score. The final result isn't all that surprising considering the Mules' considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Washington football rankings (they are ranked second, while the Warriors are ranked 36th).

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Wahkiakum to victory, but perhaps none more so than Jayden Stoddard, who threw for 286 yards and six TDs while completing 78.9% of his passes, and also rushed for 55 yards. That's the most passing touchdowns Stoddard has posted since back in October of 2024. Cooper Carlson was Stoddard's top target, picking up 79 receiving yards and one score, while also rushing for 131 yards and one touchdown on only five carries.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Wahkiakum was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 309 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 165 rushing yards in four consecutive games.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Wahkiakum's defense and their three sacks. The team can thank two different players for their defensive prowess: Stoddard and Kyle Gonzales, who each picked up 0.5 sacks apiece.
Meanwhile, Northwest Christian was fully in charge on Thursday, breezing past Oakville 40-12. The result was nothing new for the Wolverines, who have now won four contests by 28 points or more so far this season.
Wahkiakum's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 7-0. Those road wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 7.3 points on average over those games. As for Northwest Christian, their record is now 4-2.
