The More the Merrier With Rochester and Aberdeen Aboard, Evergreen 2A Conference is Up to Six Teams — But Tumwater, Again, is the Favorite teams, which had a tendency to make both teams being out of the playoff hunt before the end of September. And, for the Twin Cities teams, it meant the season rested on the Tumwater, Black Hills and Swamp Cup matchups. “When you only have a four-team league, and other teams have 10-team leagues,” Centralia quarterback Joey Aliff joked, “They’re looking at us like ‘What’s your problem?’” As usual, though, Tumwater’s the team to beat in the EvCo, with Sid Otton coaching his 43rd and final season for the Thunderbirds at the age of 72. In that time he’s won six state titles — five with Tumwater — and went 384-129 over his 48 years. The T-Birds lost to Prosser, 22-15, in last year’s State 2A title game. Sid’s grandson Cade Otton, a linebacker verbally committed to the University of Washington, leads a loaded lineup. “Obviously it starts with Tumwater. They’re always what they are,” W.F. West coach Bob Wollan said. “They’ve got some really good players, and it sounds like it’s coach Otton’s last year, so I’m sure they’ll be on a mission to send him on his way.” The new-look league, though, will be great for the fans, Wollan said. “It’s great for rivalries to develop again,” he said. “The fact that we hopefully can have JV and C-team games with teams that are somewhat close, that really helps, all of that. “Teams are going to have their ups and downs, but getting our league back in order is a step in the right direction.”

By The Chronicle The Evergreen 2A Conference is back to a respectable size. After two seasons of playing a three-game league schedule, thanks to a new WIAA classification cycle pushing Capital up to 3A, River Ridge bolting for the South Puget Sound 2A League, and Aberdeen and Rochester opting to play a technically independent schedule in the Evergreen 2A/1A League, the EvCo is whole Evergreen 2A again. Conference Or, at least, whole enough Preseason Picks to offer its 1. TUMWATER teams a regular 2. W.F. WEST season in which 3. BLACK HILLS 4. CENTRALIA over half of its 5. ABERDEEN games count 6. ROCHESTER for something. “It’s about time,” Centralia coach Matt Whitmire said. “It’s nice that the teams that are supposed to be in your classification are actually playing in your classification now.” Rochester and Aberdeen moved into the EvCo, meaning a five-game league schedule for everyone and more competition for the league’s three crossover berths with the Greater St. Helens 2A League. “When you beat a team now, it counts,” Whitmire added. “That is important for the kids when they line up on Friday night, that a league win’s a league win.” Rochester and Aberdeen, over the past two years, were only able to qualify for a playoff berth by winning each of their nonleague games against 2A

CENTRALIA TIGERS
Evergreen 2A Conference • 2015 Record: 3-6 (4th in EvCo)
Big Line, Talented Skill Crew Anchor Centralia By The Chronicle Centralia coach Matt Whitmire feels he has the best team — on paper, anyway — that he’s had in his four years in orange and black. As always, the trick to turning that talent and potential into wins comes with keeping the players off the sidelines, off of crutches and on the turf. A big part of that starts on the line where, for the first time in a few years, the Tigers have a sizable crew in the trenches. “From tackle to tackle, it’ll look like a quality 2A offensive line,” Whitmire said. “We’ll be in that 220-240 (pound) range, for the most part, straight across the line, and the kids all have good feet.” Brayden Andrews, a veteran starter at center, and Nick Edwards — a 6-foot-6, 270-pound senior — lead the way. Isiah Maynard returns from an injury, and newcomers Moises Lima — a strength-contest winner at team camp — and Mario Munguia should bolster the offensive line. “On paper, it’s our deepest and most talented team, amongst the lines,” Whitmire said. “That’s where it all starts. If we can keep our people protected, we could be a very dangerous team this year.” Joey Aliff, a 6-foot senior, will be under center in Centralia’s spread offense for the third year, after splitting reps at quarterback as a sophomore and taking over full-time last year. He’s got veteran company in the backfield with Nathan Yahn running out of the slot and Nat Lopez at fullback. Jose Pineda, who was injured in the preseason last year and missed the entire season, will start at running back. Layne Pertzborn, a big target and starter on last year’s Tiger basketball team, returns at wide receiver, and Jordan Thomas — a speedy 6-foot-3, 190-pound junior — has the potential to do a lot of damage, Whitmire said.

“We’re very happy with what we’re looking at — on paper, anyway — with the talent we have,” the coach said. “We have experience all over. I like how the offensive backfield shapes up.” Whitmire himself has taken over as defensive coordinator, and the Tigers will run a 4-2-5 defense geared towards slowing the uptempo attacks of the rest of the Evergreen 2A Conference. Lopez and Derek VanDeLarschott return at the all-important inside linebacker position, with Yahn and Pineda — in a hybrid linebacker/safety role — on the outside. “He’s just a football type, an outstanding athlete,” Whitmire said of Pineda, a junior. “He’s one of the more coachable kids on the team, that plays with a very high motor.” Aliff will, again, start at safety. An-
drews — at 5-10, 225 — is back on the defensive line with Edwards, who moves from end to tackle. “He’s being looked at by several Big Sky schools,” Whitmire noted of the sizable Edwards. “He looked outstanding at team camp, running sideline to sideline. … He’s a tremendous athlete for a kid his size.” While everything looks good on paper, the Tigers are hoping their depth — 85 players turned out this fall — won’t be as necessary as it has been the last few years due to injuries. “Even though we have better depth this year, any time you lose your No. 1s — there’s a reason a kid’s a No. 1 and not a No. 2,” Whitmire said. “So if we can stay healthy, play physical and play fast, we like our chances at knocking off a lot of people this year.”

Comfortable in the Pocket Experienced Joey Aliff Leads Tiger Offense By Aaron VanTuyl avantuyl@chronline.com Joey Aliff has the green light. The senior quarterback for the Centralia Tigers has been will be taking the snaps for the third year this season, and after all that time under center he’s earned the benefit of the doubt. “If he sees something, we’re comfortable enough with how well he knows the offense now that he can check in and out with whatever he sees,” Centralia coach Matt Whitmire said. And that’s not lost on Aliff, who was in a bit of a battle for the starting spot with Joe Finch back in 2014 and was one of the few steady spots in a lineup — and, in particular, a line — decimated by injuries in 2015. The quarterback hit 61 of 141 passes for 941 yards in 2015, with four touchdowns and eight interceptions. “I was always uptight and just trying to go,
go, go, go,” he said of his sophomore campaign, during which the starting job was up in the air. “Now I can relax a little bit more. I can play, I can have fun — I’m still going as hard as I can, but it’s nicer to know that I got it, and I’m good with the system.” He spent the offseason working on his accuracy, technique and footwork in the pocket. That, combined with an experienced corps of receivers — Jordan Thomas, Layne Pertzborn and Nathan Yahn, primarily — should lead to a few more opportunities to put his arm on display. “I hope so,” he said. “As of right now that’s what it looks like, but we’ll see. That’s not up to me.” A bigger, stronger offensive line should also allow the Tigers more room to operate. “I think we’re going to be able to move in
space a little bit,” Aliff said. “It’s going to be quick, get it out there and get it in space, and take somebody one-on-one. We’ll take that any day.” The whole operation, however, starts with the veteran quarterback. “He’s the straw that stirs everything. It’s going to begin and end with Joey, and how well we protect him,” Whitmire said. “As we continue to expand this package in the spread, it’s a matter of surrounding him with some people that can contribute, and him realizing he doesn’t have to carry the entire load the entire time.” Which, of course, should lead to the team’s ultimate goal. “The goal’s just to win games. The goal’s to get to the playoffs and win games,” Aliff said. “As long as we stay healthy, we’ve got a decent chance this year.”

W.F. WEST BEARCATS
Evergreen 2A Conference • 2015 Record: 6-5 (state qualifier)
Bearcats Young, but Experienced By The Chronicle A promising offensive line, a seasoned backfield and a new quarterback mean the Bearcats are going back to the basics — at least early in the season. Tyler Pallas and 6-foot-7 Hunter Arredondo are back on the line, and a slew of seniors are in the mix to fill out the front from a team that qualified for the State 2A playoffs a year ago. “Size-wise, we’ll match up pretty well, as opposed to some year,” Bearcat coach Bob Wollan, now in his 11th year in Chehalis, said. “We’ve got athleticism in there, but I just really like our physicality.” Senior Austin Emery, an All-League first-team pick last year, returns at running back, with classmate Kolby Steen again blocking at fullback. Junior Ka’imi Henry will also get carries, according to Wollan. “I think we’ve got some good, tough backs, so we can really lean on that early in the year and develop our passing game,” Wollan said. “We had a lot of young receivers play last year. … We lost a two-year starter at quarterback, so any time you bring in a new guy in there, there’s some growing pains.” The ‘new guy’ in this case is Nole Wollan, a junior and the coach’s son who takes over for All-League first-teamer Elijah Johnson. “We’ve got to figure out what he can do back there, but I don’t think it has to be a completely quarterback-driven offense, like it has been some years,” Wollan said. “Early in the year we can figure out what we’re good at, and running the ball and play action’s going to be what we’re good at, early in the year.” Due to a handful of injuries at the skill positions last year a crew of sophomores — speedy Tyson Guerrero, 6-foot-7 Brandon White, scatback-type receiver

Drew Forgione and athletic junior Dakota Hawkins — all saw plenty of meaningful plays. Senior Brandon Mauermann should also be in the mix at receiver. “I like those guys out there,” Wollan said. “I think we’ve got some guys that’ll go catch the ball.” Tysen Paul (at center), Brayden Bennett (guard), and Joey Wylam (guard) are new faces on the line, and Brayden Bostwick — up to about 230 pounds — and junior Jack Mallonee provide depth. Meanwhile, big Kevin Clevenger (6-foot-3, 225 pounds), Hawkins and Wyatt Deskins offer depth and skill at tight end. “Tight end’s a big part of our work if we’ve got that type of athlete, and we do,” he said. “I like our depth, and just kind of our toughness there. I think we’ll bring an attitude on our offensive line.”
Pallas and Clevenger return on the defensive line, where Arredondo, and Wyman, Mallonee and Bostwick add depth. Steen, Wollan, Bennett, Henry and promising sophomore Zach Sloan make up the linebacking corps. Guerrero, Hawkins, and Forgione got experience in the secondary last year as sophomores, and junior Gabe O’Neil will move into the secondary. The hope is that the amount of sophomores seeing the field last year will pay off. “We played a lot of sophomores last year that saw some really intense, tough competition,” Wollan said. “That, hopefully, will translate into those guys being ready to take over official starting roles.”

W.F. West’s Kolby Steen chills out in the ice bath after a preseason practice in Chehalis. The senior will start at middle linebacker for the Bearcats for the third season.
Tough Customer LB Kolby Steen Leads W.F. West’s Defense
By Aaron VanTuyl avantuyl@chronline.com Kolby Steen may be the Bearcats’ starting fullback, but he’s quick to point out that he’s more comfortable going after, and not protecting, the football. The gritty 5-foot-8, 185-pound senior lives to line up at middle linebacker. “It’s a lot easier than offense,” he said.“You don’t have to remember all the plays and stuff, and you get to hit someone.” The emphasis, of course, is on the “hitting someone.”
“The kid just wants to hit,” Bearcat coach Bob Wollan said. “Guys that hit like that, you’re born with that ability. But he loves football, he studies the game, and our big thing is he needs to stay healthy.” Staying healthy, of course, is a tricky part of football, and Steen’s got the scars to prove it. As a sophomore he missed a few games after cracking his heel bone — “Some guy landed on it funny. It was weird,” he said — and then suffered a bruised spleen last year. “And did something to my shoulder,” he added. “But my shoulder’s good now, and my spleen’s fine.” He’s been a starter at middle linebacker — the quarterback of the defense — since his sophomore year, a position he took up in middle school. “He’s such a physical player, he beats himself up,” Wollan said. “We’re really working on trying to tackle,
and take things on lower — do things like that (as a team) — but it starts with Steen.” It’s a position that combines both know-how and simple hard-headed toughness. “You’ve got to be tough, and you’ve got to be pretty smart,” Steen said. “You’ve got to know more than one spot. You’ve got to know the whole front, and the guys next to you, and you’ve got to have good instincts.” For his senior season, Steen said the goal is simple: Make it deep enough into the playoffs to set foot on the turf at the Tacoma Dome. “And, I don’t know, hopefully break a couple records up there, like everyone else,” he said, referring to the school’s record board outside the gym. “Just tackling (records), though. I’m not an offensive guy.”

ROCHESTER WARRIORS
Evergreen 2A Conference • 2015 Record: 4-5 (missed playoffs)
New Coach, New Foundation Underway in Rochester By The Chronicle
The Warrior football team has a new chief in charge and he intends to do more than just blow smoke. Mark Smith, 62, coached Tacoma Baptist for 23 years and was hired last spring to take over the team. He’s hoping to bring in more than just a new name; he’s working to change the culture. “I think we’ve moved in the right direction. We’ve talked about being a fast-paced team, practicing fast and playing fast and we’ve got that going pretty well,” said Smith. Although the Warriors are firmly in the 2A classification now, Rochester will open up its season with a familiar run of former 1A opponents in Tenino, Charles Wright, Elma and Montesano. The change in league has not gone unnoticed by Smith’s new charges. “I think they’re aware of it but I don’t think they’ll be totally aware of it until the second half of the season when we start
playing league games,” said Smith. Interestingly, the Warriors are not slated to face off against Tumwater during their first two seasons in the 2As — though should that impact the Evergreen 2A Conference standings in some way, a solution will be reached when the issues arises. Smith says his players are excited and playing with good tempo, and he is excited to see what his tenacious group of senior henchmen can do down in the trenches. Rochester boasts four returning senior starters on each side of the ball including Michael Barabe (tackle, defensive line), Jacob Valley (center, defensive line), Chase Edminster (guard, linebacker) and Bradden Schneider (tight end, linebacker). Smith is counting on those bruisers to lead the charge of what he calls “root-hog football.” Smith says his team shares in his enthusiasm for the upcoming season, noting that, “It goes back again to what we’ve been trying to do. When you come to practice you show up and you work hard. The kids have bought in and we’re getting there.”
Heading into the final week of practice before that showdown though the team quarterback situation was still in flux with sophomores Tyler Sodderback and Bryce Lollar battling for the spot. “I know that we’re probably throwing the ball this year more than they have in the past,” said Smith. “I’ve always thrown the ball a lot, but I think the key for us is to be balanced and be able to throw it and run it in any situation. It certainly puts more pressure on the defense if they have to prepare to stop both run and pass.” In either case, Smith expects the 6-foot4 Schneider, a senior tight end, to be a key. “He started out wanting to play quarterback and we moved him to tight end and he has really blossomed there,” Smith said. One thing is for sure: The first year of the Smith era in Rochester will be a learning experience for all. “The bottom line is it’s just getting the foundations put down in the program and getting kids to understand it and accept it,” explained Smith. “Our approach always

By The Chronicle With the loss of several key players to graduation, first-year Tenino coach Tim Bullus knows he and the Beavers have their work cut out for them. Bullus, who accepted the position March 1 — two days before the birth of his first child — has spent last several months familiarizing himself with his new team. “The way I saw it, Tim Bullus when I was hired in Tenino coach March, the season started,” Bullus said. “My goal was to know my kids when August came and I think I did that. … It feels like we have a cohesion now. We have a synergy.” Running back Thomas Pier, who rushed for more than 1600 yards each of the last two seasons, is now a freshman fighting for the RB1 slot at the College of Siskiyous.
Evergreen 1A League • 2015 Record: 6-3 (missed playoffs) And Kaleb Strawn, another key back in Tenino’s run-heavy offense, is off throwing fastballs for Columbia Basin College. “We lost Thomas Pier. We lost Kaleb Strawn. These kids were war daddies,” Bullus said. They were the kind of kids that you’re proud to coach. They aren’t replaced easily.” But Bullus, who replaced Randy Swilley on the sidelines, believes there are a slew of talented players ready to step into their roles, including Jace Griffis, a slot on offense, corner on defense, and one of the captains despite being a sophomore. “I’m hoping Jace one day can be a name in the county and in the league,” Bullus said. “So he’s our captain, and he’s going to be asked to do a lot on offense.” While Bullus said that while nothing is certain, junior Miles Cannon is the leading candidate to replace last year’s starting quarterback Calvin Guzman, who also graduated. “He’s been working here all summer,” Bullus said. “He’s the guy we went into camp with, and he was the guy out there

ADNA PIRATES
SWW 2B Mountain Division • 2015 Record: 11-1 (6th in C2BL)
Pirates on the Rebound Warpath By The Chronicle Adna finished the 2015 season with a losing record and missed the playoffs for the first time in at least a dozen years. It is an outcome that does not sit well with the Pirates. “It’s definitely motivating these kids. They’ve got a lot to play for,” said coach K.C. Johnson. “Adna is on a bit of of a revenge tour. We should have put that on our t-shirts.” Last year’s campaign hit the rocks after senior leader and quarterback David Young suffered a broken neck during a mid-season contest at Napavine. The injury was emotionally taxing on the Pirates and their faithful and removed a potent weapon from their arsenal. Like an opposing linebacker, Johnson likes to peek into the backfield first. “We’ve got a lot of good backs,” said Johnson. First among equals will be Isaac Ingle, a four year starter at fullback for the Pirates. “The nice thing is behind Isaac is that we’ve got some really nice sophomores,” said Johnson, who counts five guys who could see prime time Friday night carries. Leading the way for the remaining crew of running scalawags will be a sizeable set of linemen. Those boys will also be charged with protecting junior quarterback Connor

tinue to play their usual foes of Toledo, Toutle and PWV in their non-league schedule. “I think all of these non-league games early is going to give everybody a good feel of the other leagues,” explained Johnson. Looking over the schedule, Johnson pointed out the Pirates’ week five showdown versus Napavine as a statement game to watch. “That’s going to be a big game,” said Johnson. “Their skill guys are as good as anybody in the
state.” “Before when people played us they thought they were going to get beat. That’s changed over the last few years and we’re out to reverse that course,” added Johnson, who noted that his team did not receive any preseason votes in the state rankings this year — the first time in a years that’s happened. “It’s probably a good thing. We’ve got to go out and prove ourselves.”

Ingle Seeks to Reignite Pirates’ Fire
Veteran Captain Now a Senior Leader By Jordan Nailon jnailon@chronline.com
Isaac Ingle has done it all for the Pirates. When he was a baby faced freshman fullback he was tasked with taking on frothy mouthed defenders four years his senior in order to send his backfield mates galloping to glory. This year he’s making the switch to defensive end and as a fourth year fullback, he will be asked to carry the ball in his arms and his team on his shoulders as the Pirates follow X’s and O’s on the path to paydirt. Adna coach K.C. Johnson calls Ingle a leader first and foremost, and praised his poise under pressure. “Isaac is just one of those kids,” said Johnson as he harkened back to his senior leader’s freshman campaign. “All of a sudden we play him and we go on this huge win streak and he’s a huge part of it.” Last year, he ran for over 1,000 yards and averaged 6.5 yards per carry. “Which means as a coach I better just smarten up and give him the ball,” laughed Johnson as he reviewed the stats. A calm and intentionally spoken character off the
field, Ingle seems to transform into a true salty dog on the field. “He definitely flips a switch. He flips it in practice half the time. If he doesn’t like what’s going on he’s like a coach on the field, and the kids really listen and look up to him,” said Johnson. “Nobody plays with more emotion than Isaac. But it’s not negative, it’s not to the other team. It‘s just to his own guys.” For his part, Ingle seems to take it all in stride. “I’ve been a captain since my sophomore year so I’ve just tried to step it up every year,” said Ingle. “I’m trying to pick it up this year because I’m trying to do something special.” Writ large on that list of things to do is to make it back to the playoffs, which Adna missed last season for the first time in a dozen years. “It’s something that doesn’t leave. It’s in the back of your mind all the time,” explained Ingle of his mental motivating factor. “Once you get there anything can happen.” Ingle, whose father is an assistant coach at Adna, knows he will receive plenty of attention this year as he racks up touchdowns and tackles, but he is the first to admit that the big boys up front lay that foundation of success.

“I know our line is incredible,” said Ingle. “We’ve got probably the best line in the league. They work hard but they don’t get the glory.” Johnson credited Ingle’s family for the senior’s perspective. “He wants to be a sheriff, state patrolman, something along those lines,” added Johnson. “If he lived in this area I could see Isaac on that field at 25 coaching with me. We love having those guys because it just feeds off to the kids.” According to Johnson it is intangible bonds between his players that will likely push their crew over the top this year. “To be honest with you I think it’s going to be chemistry and attitude. These kids love each other and they get along real well …. I’m really, really happy with them. Nobody’s screwing around and nobody’s complaining,” explained Johnson. At the conclusion of the day’s second practice, during a 90-plus degree dog day of summer, Ingle agreed with his coach. He noted the bonding time that his coach arranged in between practices at the bowling alley. “We’re a pretty good group of guys who hang out off the field,” he said. “We get along well. We’re all considered brothers.”

MORTON-WHITE PASS TIMBERWOLVES
SWW 2B Mountain Division • 2015 Record: 7-5 (state qualifier)
Backfield by Committe to Fill Big Offensive Role for Timberwolves By The Chronicle
A year after reaching the state quarterfinals, Morton-White Pass will rely on the rise of several players to overcome the loss of one major offensive force. The Timberwolves will have to contend with the graduation of last year’s Central 2B League Offensive MVP Braiden Elledge, who earned that distinction by rushing for 2200 yards. “We’ll have a backLee Metcalf field by committee,” MWP coach coach Lee Metcalf said. “Josh Morris, Dylan Pelletier and Jesse Urban — they’ll all see some time, and Gavyn Higdon and Marcos Garcia will be there, too, at fullback. Those guys will all be getting some touches.” At quarterback, returning starter Kaleb Rashoff gives the Timberwolves’ offense
continuity. The sophomore threw for nearly 1,000 yards last year as a freshman. “He’s a little bigger this year. A little stronger,” Metcalf said. Receiver Matt Poquette, a junior, is also primed for a big year. “He’s 6-5 and can stretch the field,” Metcalf said. “He’s a big target. He had a lot of yards last year.” Kaleb It will be Metcalf’s Rashoff first year as head coach for MWP following nine MWP QB years of running the TWolf — and, prior to the combination, Morton — defense. But offensively the team will function similarly to last year’s squad, which edged La Conner 51-47 in the first round of the state tournament. “This is our second year in the Wing T,” Metcalf said. “If you look at us on film from last year, you see we struggled early. A lot
of that had to do with the teams we were playing but it also had to do with how we were implementing a new system.” Last year MWP lost two of its first three games, but the Timberwolves went on a run, winning four straight to move into a playoff position. “We were undisciplined and not very focused. Once the kids bought in and understood our offense and started listening to coaches we were able to just keep racking up yardage,” Metcalf said. “I think that’s going to be the key for us this year.” After opening the season against rival Mossyrock and PWV — who ousted the Timberwolves from the playoffs last year — MWP settles into the newly formed SWW 2B League Mountain Division, in which Metcalf is confident the team can be competitive. “Our goal every year is to make the playoffs,” Metcalf said. “We can certainly make it if we make the right strides at the right time and get a few breaks along the way.”

MOSSYROCK VIKINGS
SWW 2B River Division • 2015 Record: 3-6 (7th in C2BL)
Cheney, Miles to Pace Mossyrock Offense By The Chronicle The core group of veterans returning to Mossyrock in 2016 is small, with just six starters coming back from last year’s team. But according to second-year coach Jason Cole, their experience and dedication on both sides of the ball will give the Vikings an excellent opportunity to improve on their 2-7 record James from a year ago. Cheney Running back Mossyrock RB James Cheney enters his senior year and is expected to lead the offense, along with quarterback Bo Miles, a senior who lined up at receiver last year. Cole also pointed to three upperclass-
men lineman — Kord Senter, Cedric Stone and Emanual Rivas as being key to the success of this year’s Vikings squad. “They’re veterans. They’ve been in the wars together,” Cole said. “Senter’s a junior but the other guys are seniors and they’ve been carrying the load for us for so long. This is their time to shine. We’re going to build the rest of our line around those guys.” All three will play on both sides of the ball, as will Cheney and Miles, who are linebackers on defense. But Cole feels that with their experience and fitness, fatigue won’t be an issue for the pair. “We condition them to that point so they can do it,” Cole said. “They’ve been doing it since they were fourth graders so they know how to do it.” Playing in the SWW 2B League’s River
Division, Cole feels Mossyrock can be in a position to finish in a top four placing and extend its season past nine games. “We have to have our motor running on defense. Defensively we have got to make stops. We can’t let people pile up points on us.” In his second year in charge, Cole plans to utilize the same system he used a year ago — a pro-set offense. “The system that seniors and juniors ran last year, they had run as 7th and 8th graders because I was their junior football coach,” said Cole, who was also an assistant at Mossyrock for years. Another reason for optimism — the Mossyrock’s finish to last season. In its final two games the Vikings beat Wahkiakum 41-7 and Adna 21-20. “It’s just a matter of execution and staying out of trouble,” Cole said. “We

NAPAVINE TIGERS
SWW 2B Mountain Division • 2015 Record: 10-3 (2nd in state)
Tigers Loaded at Skill Spots, but Experience Needed on Line By The Chronicle It’s no secret what the Tigers are going to need for a third straight trip to the State 2B championship game. Napavine, loaded at the skill positions, is working to develop a crew of linemen to open things up for its All-State quarterback and plethora of wide receivers and capable running backs. “Our offensive line is certainly where we’re going to have to make the most improvement if we’re going to have any long-term success,” Tiger coach Josh Fay pointed out. Jayce Knoll (a 6-foot-1, 215-pound senior) is the only regular starter back from last year’s state runner-up squad, and Joel Ross (5-10, 220) saw a bit of action in the trenches. Beyond that, though, the Tigers will rely on new names on the depth chart. Randy Kinswa, a 6-foot junior, is one of the new faces on the line. “He’s going to play tackle this year, which is weird, since he’s a kid that threw for 500 yards as a backup quarterback last year,” Fay said. Sam Smith, Ethan Kort and Hayden Lester are in the mix, as is Ethan Goddard —a transfer student from Nebraska. “We’ve got kids up there,” Fay said. “They just need reps and time and confidence.” Those skill positions, though, should provide plenty of highlights. Wyatt Stanley, the AP’s 2B co-Player of the Year in 2015, returns at quarterback, after throwing for 2,111 yards and 25 touchdowns — despite missing three games in the middle of the season. All-state wide receiver/slotback Mac Fagerness returns and leads the list of options, which also includes his twin brother Sam, primarily a running back; Cole Van Wyck, who rushed for over 1,000 yards as a sophomore last year; Jordan Purvis, a 6-foot-2 junior receiver; Austin Filley, a burly senior receiver; speedy junior slotback Noah Lantz, who missed most of last year with an injury; and Dawson Stanley, Wyatt’s younger brother and a sophomore that looked good over the summer, Fay said.

Napavine coach Josh Fay instructs his team during drills in a preseason practice.
Add in Wyatt Stanley as a running option — he picked up over 300 yards and six touchdowns on the ground last year, primarily during the playoffs — and it’s a crowded backfield. “I don’t know if you’ll see too many games where anybody carries the ball more than 10 times,” Fay said, adding that all seven are receiving targets, either out of the backfield or spread out wide. “That’s a lot of options and we have a lot of confidence in those guys, and even better, Wyatt has a lot of confidence in those guys. He’s not afraid to throw to anybody, so yeah, we’re really excited about where we’re at in our skill positions.” Defensively, Mac Fagerness, Purvis and Garrett Shannon all return at defensive back, with Filley and Sam Fagerness returning at linebacker. Knoll returns to head up the offensive line, where he’ll be
joined by Conner Locke — a junior who’s fresh off a win in the 100 meters at the State 2B track championships in May. “He’s a tough kid, and I think he can cause some real problems,” Fay said of Locke. “We know the end game for us means we’re going to have to play some teams that can throw the football, and if we can improve our pass rush, he’s certainly going to do that.” He’ll also see time at slot receiver, Fay added. The big question in Napavine, though, is if the Tigers can get back to the Tacoma Dome and the state finals for a third-straight year. “Anything’s possible,” Fay said. “If these guys want to put in the effort, it’s an attainable goal, but it’s going to require a whole lot of hard work and these guys are going to have to buy into that. But that’s a long ways away.”

Better Than Ever Napavine Quarterback WYATT STANLEY’s Recovered From Surgery and in the Best Shape of His Life
By Aaron VanTuyl avantuyl@chronline.com Wyatt Stanley’s healthy and in the best shape of his life, and that’s bad news for the rest of the Southwest Washington 2B Football League. Stanley, Napavine’s 6-foot-3 quarterback and the AP’s co-Player of the Year at the 2B level last season, was dinged up way back in November, during the Tigers’ first-round playoff win over North Beach. The injury lingered throughout the playoffs and through basketball season — when he was a first-team All-Central 2B League pick, and led Napavine to a regional berth — until March 10, when he finally underwent surgery for three tears to the labrum, a piece of cartilage in the shoulder socket. He missed baseball season, was in a shoulder sling for six weeks, couldn’t throw for three months and wasn’t cleared for upperbody weightlifting for over four months. “It was kind of humbling,” he said. “I just had to do what I could to help the team. We’re pretty young, in (football) and in baseball, and I just did what I could to help.” Once he was cleared, though, he started working out with Nathan Overbay — a Chehalis product and standout tight end at Eastern Washington University who played in the NFL — and his older brother Tucker, who plays for Eastern Oregon University. “They worked me hard,” he said. “It kind of made me realize how much work it takes to try to play at the next level. The surgery was bad, but it was a good learning experience, also.” He came back to practice slimmer and faster, thanks to the workouts and a bit of off-the-field improvement. “My biggest thing was just getting in a daily routine, being self-disciplined and getting mentally stronger,” he said. “And just watching what I eat.” And the rest of the team’s noticed. “I think he looks great,” Tiger coach Josh Fay said. “He’s already good, and he’s come in here and he’s the best he’s ever looked.” He’ll also be playing defense — likely at linebacker — something he picked up in the playoffs last season. “He’s really chomping at the bit to get out there and play, defensively,” Fay said. “The nice thing about Wyatt is he’s such a versatile kid, I can probably play him in four different spots. So yeah, he’s going to play; it’s more of an issue of when, and how much, and in what situations, than if.” The big questions is whether or not he — and the offense he leads — can stay healthy. Given the productive summer he’s had, though, he shouldn’t have too much trouble staying on his feet. “Personally, I feel like I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in,” he said. “I’m down a lot of weight, in all my testing and stuff I’ve increased a bunch, I’m super happy with everything and I feel 100 percent.”

By The Chronicle Onalaska Logger football is a representation of the town and the community that surrounds it: a bluecollar, working-class unit that works harder than anyone else. “These kids are resilient, these kids right here. They truly wear that Logger title really well,” Onalaska coach Mazen Saade said. “They are tough kids, hard-nosed kids. They are kids that are a working class community, they are lunch-pail guys, pull-yourselves-up-by-your-bootstraps, otherside-of-the-track kids. That is kind of the mentality we’ve got to take.” With seven returning starters on offense and eight returning starters on defense, Onalaska will try to improve on its 5-4 record from 2015. It will not be an easy task for the Loggers, who ended up in the Southwest Washington 2B Football League’s Mountain Division, along with 2015 state runner-up Napavine, as well as Adna and Morton-White Pass. “It’s interesting. It’s a change,” Saade said. “I’m excited for it. It’s going to be competitive. I believe the Mountain Division that we are in is the most competitive division there is of the three.” The Loggers run a triple-option offense, and are hoping to utilize the speed on the roster to break off some big runs. Onalaska runs a 4-4 defense and will try to be tough in the trenches. Saade said the team has been working early in camp on having the offense practice against defenses that gave Onalaska problems last season, including Life Christian’s 5-3 defense. On defense, Saade said the team will rely on its veteran returners to limit the big plays on third downs. Taking control of the offense this

Man on the Line Onalaska’s Two-Way Trench Standout Zach Huffman Just Wants to Win By Matt Baide mbaide@chronline.com Watching Onalaska football, there’s no player that sticks out more than Zach Huffman. But it’s not because of his size or speed, it’s because he is one of the hardest working players on the field, with the concise, definitive label ‘Huff’ on his helmet. Huffman first came onto the prep football scene in his freshman season, when he started a playoff game against Napavine due to injuries. Onalaska Coach Mazen Saade said he saw something in Huffman during that game, knowing he had a great player in his program. Now a senior, Huffman was a All-Central 2B League first team pick on the offensive line at right guard and on defense at middle linebacker last year. Saade said Huffman is the heart and soul of the defense, and is ready for the culmination of his football career with a simple mindset this season.
“That we improve as a team from last year,” he said. “We made it to the playoffs. We’d like to take the next step.” A team-first guy, Huffman responded to a question about his individual goals this season. “My goals don’t matter, as long as my team gets there, that’s good,” Huffman said. Huffman will be an integral part of a veteran Onalaska football team this season. Saade said that Huffman has developed into ‘one heck of a football player’ over his high school career. “He’s a pretty special kid,” Saade said. “He’s done nothing but continued to grow and mature.” When asked whether he likes playing offense or defense more, Huffman chose defense. “Because I just get to run,” Huffman explained. “And everybody gets to swarm.” Watching Huffman on the practice field, it is apparent why he is one of the top lineman in the
league. Always improving his technique and being a leader for his teammates, Huffman will try to go out on a high note. But if you watch the Loggers on the field, you won’t necessarily hear Huffman be a vocal presence for Onalaska, as Saade said he is more of a lead by example kind of guy. “He never wanted to be a vocal leader, he wanted to be a lead by example guy,” Saade said. “He’s been wanting to do this for a few years, he has grown so much in four years. He understands the game of football and how he can be a leader.” Not only does he lead by example, Huffman uses his football knowledge to teach his teammates about their position in order to improve the Loggers as a whole. “They follow him,” Saade said. “He’s their go-to guy, their leader.”

PE ELL-WILLAPA VALLEY TITANS
SWW 2B Coastal Division • 2015 Record: 11-1 (t-3rd in state)
Titans Rebuilding, Shooting for Sustained Success By The Chronicle Coming off of its second straight state playoff appearance in as many years as a combination program, Pe EllWillapa Valley is hungry once again. The Titans fell to Napavine in the State 2B semifinals, which is a big factor heading into their 2016 campaign. “We want to be right back there again. That will be one of the biggest motivators we’ll probably have,” Pe EllWillapa Valley coach Josh Fluke said. “I think that’s why we’ve got a lot of kids turning out this year, too. They want to be a part of something like that, I think that’s what builds programs, stuff like that. Making it further, winning games like that, that’s our ultimate goal: Get back there and win it, just like everybody else’s is.” PWV finished 2015 with a perfect 9-0 league record and earned the Central 2B League title last season. The team lost a lot of veterans from last season’s semifinal team, with only two returners on offense and three returners on defense. “They’re working hard, and it’s looking good,” Fluke said of his younger players. “It’s coming together, a lot of young players. They are learning real quick, and working their butts off too, looks good.” Fluke said this will be a building season for the Titans, but hopes the team will round into form after the first few games. The Titans also have a quarterback competition throughout camp, with junior Ryan Shepherd, senior Cub Bair and sophomore Matt Pearson all vying for the starting spot for the opener against Adna. The biggest returner for the Titans will be senior Kaelin Jurek, a running back and linebacker that will be a leader on both sides of the ball. With the formation of the Southwest Washington 2B Football League, PWV landed in the Coastal Division with

I’m
happy with it.” Fluke hopes the team can continue its run of state berths this season. “When we set our goals, we set them high. We are building a pretty good program,” Fluke said. “We lost a lot of studs there last year, a lot of good seniors. We had some OK kids, a building season coming up. Expectations are to win.”

A Titan in the Backfield Kaelin Jurek Primed for an Even Bigger Role By Matt Baide mbaide@chronline.com Pe Ell-Willapa Valley had three Titans at running back last season, with Trevor Cook, Seth Flemetis and Kaelin Jurek all competing for carries in a talented backfield. Only one Titan remains in Jurek, and he expects to have a prominent role in the PWV offense this season. “I think I’m going to get quite a few more carries, but we also have guys coming up who will fill in their role,” Jurek said. “But I know a lot of people are going to be looking at me so that will help those guys with their yards and everything like that.” Not only will Jurek be expected to be the Marshawn Lynch-type runner that has racked up 1,000 yards in each of the last two seasons, but he will also be an anchor at linebacker on the Titan defense. “He started for me when I was coaching Pe Ell as a freshman. This will be his third year starting here for PWV; he’s got a knack for football,” Titan coach Josh Fluke said. “He is probably one of the hardest working kids I’ve seen. He lived in the weight room, if he wasn’t putting in hay or working on the farm somewhere. “He’s really smart. Come up with a play and he gets it within two seconds, a good leader,” Fluke added. “He’ll be a huge part of the team.” Coming into his final season, Jurek said he has put on some weight and gotten faster and stronger, which will make it even tougher on opposing defenses to take the hard-hitting back to the ground. And the loss to Napavine in last year’s state semifinals in the Tacoma Doma is a big motivator. though the two teams won’t play in the regular season — as they did last year, when PWV won a big Central 2B League matchup in Napavine en route to the C2BL title — Jurek is hopeful to see the Tigers in the postseason. “I am hoping we see them, even though they will be, I’m guessing, the toughest team in the state,” Jurek said. “I’m pretty sure of that, but I mean, to be the best, you’ve got to beat the best.” For his personal goals, Jurek hopes to eclipse the 1,500-yard mark this season. “I’m trying to get to the top. MVP would be pretty nice, but first team or MVP for sure,” Jurek said. And for his team goals, he wants the Titans to be right back where they were last season. “As far as we can get, state champion,” Jurek said. After he hangs up his high school football pads this season, Jurek — also a standout catcher on the PWV baseball team that made the state finals — would love for his future to include football. “I don’t know what I want to do yet, but whatever college I do go to, I would like to play football,” Jurek said. “Wherever they put me, if I can make it, I’m down for whatever.”

TOLEDO INDIANS
SWW 2B River Division • 2015 Record: 8-2 (state qualifier)
Toledo, With Big Expectations, Shooting for a Longer Playoff Run By The Chronicle The Toledo Indians don’t care about football, at least according to coach Jeremy Thibault. “We really don’t care too much about football, is what I tell them. I’m always more concerned about them in life,” Thibault said. “We’re pretty good to our kids. We do a bunch of different things and we just kind of do what we do.” Looking at their recent success, that
philosophy is working well for Toledo. The Indians are looking to build off of two straight state playoff berths, including a semifinal appearance in 2014. Toledo should be set up for another solid campaign in 2016, with key players returning in big roles, including senior quarterback Dalton Yoder and All-Area players Dakota Robins, Gabe Fuentes and Dylan Hoiseck. Yoder is in his third season running the
Toledo offense, and Thibault has confidence in his quarterback continuing to improve and manage the offense. “He’s running our passing and there is nobody really coaching them. We’re telling them as they go. He’s a smart kid,” Thibault said. “We played Napavine last year, (and) we would send two to three plays in and he would go up there and pick the one, and I think he was pretty spot on. He’s the guy. I’m confident in

him.” On offense, the team wants to run the ball while also utilizing its weapons. With the loss of star running back Taylor Hicks, Hoiseck and Robins will be in line for more touches, and the team can’t forget about Fuentes at tight end. Defensively, Thibault is excited with how his squad is coming together and expects to be able to fill the void left by Hicks. “We told our kids they really have to step their game up, cause he (Hicks) was a safety, and really he played sideline to sideline,” Thibault said. “He got tons of tackles when our guys missed tackles. Our defense is pretty legit.” In the new Southwest Washington 2B Football League, Toledo ended up in the River Division, along with former C2BL foes Wahkiakum, Toutle Lake, Winlock and Mossyrock. Kalama dropped down from 1A to 2B and joined the River Division. “As a traditionalist, I’m not a fan of splitting it, but since they had to do it, I thought they did it pretty fair,” Thibault said. “There can never be a perfect way, but I think they got it almost as perfect as they possibly could.” When asked what the goal was for the season, it was an easy answer for Thibault. “The team goal is obviously to win it,” he said. “I think that we’re obviously a playoff-caliber team and when you get to the playoffs, you never know what happens.”

Adding to the Trophy Case Physical Robins Wants a Football Championship By Matt Baide mbaide@chronline.com Toledo football coach Jeremy Thibault described senior Dakota Robins as a happy-go-lucky kid. “Sometimes you don’t even know he’s here,” Thibault said. But watching Toledo football, it’s pretty easy to spot Robins out on the field. The defensive lineman and running back was an all-state player last season, wreaking havoc on offensive lines and plowing guys over with the football in his hands. “I like hitting people, so whichever I can get the hardest hit on people, make them feel pain, is what I enjoy the most,” Robins said when asked about his preference between offense or defense. “That’s my goal, cause who likes getting hit in the face as hard as somebody can 15 times in a row? My mentality is if I hurt you, I don’t have to worry about you anymore. If I run you over, then you’re scared of me. There’s no point. You’re nothing now.” On defense, Robins has played almost every position throughout his high school career, having been moved around a few times to help the team fill voids when players go down. This year, he will be one of the top defensive lineman at the 2B level, unless the team needs him to play a different position.
“He’s a handful to block,” Thibault said. “He’s fast, he’s big, he’s always active.” Robins will be one of the leaders on a Toledo football team with high expectations. “I want to take as much leadership as is granted, because it’s distributed,” Robins said. “There’s not one alpha on our team. There’s five of us as a captain, there’s not one head honcho.” Robins wants to use Toledo’s State 2B baseball title — he was a third baseman and pitcher on the championship team — as motivation to lift the gold ball trophy in the Tacoma Dome. “The feeling of beating Pe Ell was the best feeling ever,” Robins said. “They (PWV) work so hard at everything they do, and knowing we worked harder to get to that goal was amazing. So feeling that in two sports, and especially this — because it’s not just throwing a baseball and hitting a ball, this is risking your body, this is risking your health later on in your life. “So putting that hard work into winning a state championship, or beating your rival team, is like no reward you can ever get anywhere else,” he added. When asked about personal goals, Robins wants to be the best. “My goal is always to be the best you can possibly be, if that’s player of the year, that’s usually what I shoot for,”
“Service is the Difference”
“I am so confident in this team, but I don’t tell them that. I don’t want their heads to get so big,” Robins pointed out. “I have really high expectations and am so confident, I’m really excited.”

Robins said. “And if I get below that goal, that’s not really achieving what I want. Everything’s to the side if I don’t get to my big goal.” He’s confident the Indians can get the job done.

WINLOCK CARDINALS
SWW 2B River Division • 2015 Record: 2-7 (9th in C2BL)
Getting Off the Ground in Eggtown By The Chronicle Winlock is coming off of an upstart season that saw the team notch staple victories over league foes Mossyrock and Wahkiakum on the way to the school’s first multiple-victory football campaign since 2010. Unfortunately, though, much of the momentum accrued by that squad vanished in the offseason, with a key group of seniors graduating, athletic director Ben Suhrbier stepping down as football coach, and a large group of would-be returning juniors opting to forgo the gridiron for their senior year. It all adds up to a scenario that has first-year Cardinal coach Ernie Samples starting back at square one. Samples spent last season as an assistant coach at Centralia, following 13 years of coaching prep football in West Virginia, and he is aware of — and embraces — the challenges in store for his team. “My main goal is to just kind of bring
everybody together and understand the commitment it takes to be a program,” he said. “So far it’s actually been happening … My guys are communicating to me. They’re buying in.” Samples also appreciates the opportunity to switch from defense and special teams, where his assistant duties have often been focused, to offense and overall command. “I’m an offensive guy but it seems I always get stuck on defense. I’m looking forward to doing what I want to do,” he said. Although the Cardinals lost cogs from last year’s upstart team they also have a formidable batch returning to the fold, including senior Chance Machine, and juniors Dawson Hall, Seth Lindsey, Michael Wilson and Nick Patching. “My main concern with the team is that I had seven seniors decide they didn’t want to play and they’re at home doing nothing,” lamented Samples.
Letterman Jackets
Despite that early setback Samples and his Cardinal crew are planning on seizing the energy in the new SWW 2B League River Division, where a reduction in league-mandated games will give Winlock an opportunity to test themselves against a few lesser-known foes this season. Much of the preseason focus has been on the quarterback position. Last season’s quarterback Zach Weinert suffered a serious knee injury mid-season and has opted to take this fall off in order to prepare for basketball and baseball. Standing in his stead are sophomores Anthony Clevenger and Thomas Gifford. “Right now they’re kind of battling it out for that QB spot,” said Samples. “They’re both getting pushed a little bit.” Samples is implementing a flex-zone triple option offense that will feature Hall and Lindsey as primary ball carriers but the coach believes that defense will be his team’s strongest suit. “We’re kind of going a little bit old school on defense. We’re not huge,” he said. “But I’ve coached teams that

All In Together Now
Pacific, Central 2B Leagues Combine; SWW 2B Football League Features Three Divisions, Nonleague Games By Aaron VanTuyl avantuyl@chronline.com It’s all different, but it’s all good. With another WIAA reclassification cycle dropping an extra team into District 4’s 2B ranks, something had to give. The Central 2B League was bursting at the seams with 12 teams — too many for a single division — and everyone was looking for something a bit different. The arrived-upon solution was to throw everything into a bag, split it three ways, and try out a new format altogether. With Kalama moving down from the 1As and into the Central 2B League, and Rainier accepting an invitation to move from the Pacific to the C2BL — along with the head-scratching fact that Chief Leschi and Life Christian were both playing in the Pacific, rather than the mostly-closer Central — it was time for something new. The new format, then, is the Southwest Washington 2B Football League, which features three divisions: the River, the Coastal and the Mountain, only for football. “We had talked about doing something like this, trying something like this, for a couple of years,” Adna football coach — and, now, athletic director and high school dean of students — K.C. Johnson said. “What could we
do different, to solidify (state) berths, guarantee ourselves a lot of berths, not hide No. 1s (seeds), and make everybody play? There was a lot of things that went into it.” Johnson and Tom Sanchez — South Bend’s longtime football coach and athletic director — spearheaded the plan, which was discussed with representatives (coaches and ADs) from the 19 schools involved. “We were actually pleasantly surprised when we brought it to the AD meeting,” Johnson said. “We brought it to a vote, and it was 17-1, with one school not there, to pass it, which really surprised us that it went over that well.” Under the old format, the Central and Pacific champions automatically earned crossover byes and state berths; in the new three-division setup, the top four teams in each division will play a crossover game against a fourth-place team from a separate division, while the runner-up will play a third-place team from another division. The divisional matchups in the crossover round will rotate on a three-year basis. Last year’s Central 2B League featured 10 teams, which meant a full nine-game regular season comprised entirely of league games. The new setup offers more scheduling room for non-division contests.
SWW 2B FOOTBALL LEAGUE: Preseason Picks Coastal Division River Division Mountain Division 1. Napavine 1. Pe Ell-WV 1. Toledo 2. Adna 2. Ilwaco 2. Kalama 3. Rainier 3. North Beach 3. Toutle Lake 4. Life Christian 4. Raymond 4. Mossyrock 5. Morton-WP 5. South Bend 5. Wahkiakum 6. Onalaska 7. Chief Leschi 6. Ocosta 6. Winlock “We all sat down, and tried to map out non-divisional games to help schools, like schools who have really struggled the last few years with numbers,” Johnson said. “That they could play each other, and maybe it would help build programs and strengthen leagues. That was a big one for us.” The non-divisional games also provide a chance for traditional rivalries to continue. Adna and Pe Ell-Willapa Valley will play in Week 1, for example, and Mossyrock and Onalaska will play the Old Helmet game in Week 2. It wasn’t the only proposal considered. Before Tacoma Baptist dropped down to 1B, there was an idea to shifting the teams into two 10-team leagues, which would require moving a few C2BL teams to, essentially, the Pacific. The organizers also considered four divisions of five teams, with each division then lining up with a rotating

in-league division for its non-division games. It was an interesting concept, Johnson said, but a lot of schools questioned the idea of a set list of nondivision opponents. “We’re trying to do what was best for schools, kids and programs, and we thought this might be the way to go,” Johnson said. “It’ll be really interesting to see how it plays out after Year 1.” WILLIE’S SPORT SHOP
