Port Angeles girls’ soccer player Kedryn DeScala did her best this weekend to extend the Roughriders season at least two more games.
In a crucial loser-out playoff match against Franklin Pierce, DeScala had a huge game with a hat trick in a 7-0 win, sending the Riders into the double-elimination phase of the district tournament. She scored one goal by simply outrunning the Franklin Pierce defenders, got her second goal on a beautiful header on a cross from teammate Mariah Traband and got her third in the second half with a little bit of luck as a crossing pass got past the Cardinals’ keeper.
For the East Jefferson Rivals, freshman Luke O’Hara had an incredible game to lead East Jefferson to a 55-0 win over Vashon. O’Hara had 12 rushes for 201 yards and four touchdowns. He also threw an 80-yard touchdown pass to Deken Lorenzen, had a 13-yard reception himself and added a 30-yard kick return for a grand total of 324 all-purpose yards.
