After starting their season with two straight games on the road, Naselle is finally coming home. They will look to take advantage of their home-field as they take on the Sound Christian Lions at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The two teams are strolling into their contests after big wins in their previous games.
Naselle is headed into the matchup after thoroughly thrashing Wahkiakum: they outscored them in every quarter. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that Naselle blew Wahkiakum out of the water with a 72-6 final score. With the Comets ahead 52-6 at the half, the match was all but over already.
Jacob Lindstrom was nothing short of spectacular: he rushed for 121 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries. Another player making a difference was Jack Strange, who gained 70 total yards and two touchdowns.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Naselle was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 224 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Wahkiakum only rushed for two.
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.
Meanwhile, Sound Christian had to kick off their season on the road on Saturday, but they showed no ill effects. They took their game on the road with ease, bagging a 44-0 victory over Ocosta.
Kona Resseau had an outrageously good game as 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. His longest rush was for an incredible 70 yards. Sam Hunt was another key player, gaining 157 total yards and a touchdown.
Everything came up roses for Naselle against Sound Christian when the teams last played back in September of 2023 as the squad secured a 74-28 win. In that contest, Naselle amassed a halftime lead of 60-14, an impressive feat they'll look to repeat on Friday.
