The quarterfinals of the 2025 Washington 1B Football State Championships took place this past weekend. While the Wahkiakum Mules advanced to the semifinals, Naselle saw its season end in the final eight. The margins are always tight in elimination games, and even if the final scores weren't close, there were plenty of plays and moments that culminated in those results. Naselle Knowing Almira-Coulee-Hartline (ACH) would be a tough matchup in the Nov. 21 quarterfinal, the Comets made the...
For the team's first 10 games, including its postseason opener, the Clatskanie Tigers varsity football team had never been on the losing side. The Tigers had trailed at a couple of points throughout the year but never when the fourth-quarter clock showed "all zeros." Playing on a neutral field against defending state champion St. Paul, Clatskanie matched the Buckaroos first-quarter touchdown with one of their own in the second. Sophomore quarterback Will Van Voorst connected with junior wide...
Oregon’s Rainier High School football team started off the season stronger compared to last year, winning 28-14 against Riverside. As the weeks passed, Rainier began to struggle.

Now Rainier and Corbett hold the high school record for most points scored in a game in 2A, 9 man football. This record was the best one Rainier has set within the last three years. The team was extremely proud of their accomplishment and growth between the games. O...

Naselle and Wahkiakum both weathered early adversity in their games en route to comfortable...
Clatskanie's perfect season continues, as the Tigers held off Colton 22-20 at home last Friday. The Vikings were the first of the two teams to reach the scoreboard, courtesy of a 40-yard touchdown pass. The ensuing two-point conversion attempt failed, leaving the score 6-0 Colton. Clatskanie would respond with a 25-yard touchdown throw from sophomore quarterback Will Van Voorst to senior wide receiver Daylon Gutierrez. Junior kicker Gunner Engen's point after attempt was no good, so the score would remain 6-6 going into the second quarter. A tw...
