CHIMACUM — Orting’s rushing game steamrolled Chimacum 48-6 in Nisqually League football action Friday night.
The Cowboys (0-2 in league, 0-4 overall) were never in the game at Memorial Field against the perennial Class 1A powers.
“Our defense had a tough time stopping their running attack,” Chimacum coach Shawn Meacham said.
“They block well and get to the edge quickly. Orting put a lot of points on the board in the first quarter but we kept playing hard, and we saw improvement throughout the rest of the game.”
Derek Ajax had Chimacum’s first 100-yard rushing game this year with 103 yards on nine carries.
Eighty of those yards came on a touchdown run.
Justin Morris led the Cowboys on defense with eight tackles and five assists while Daryl Settlemire also had eight tackles, an assist and a sack.
“We’ll keep working hard to improve for next week against Life Christian,” Meacham said.
The Cowboys play at Life Christian (1-1, 2-2) on Saturday night.

Lakeside 47,
Port Townsend 24
SEATTLE — The 3A Lions used their bruising run attack, as well as a long kickoff return, to hand the 1A Redskins their 14th straight loss Saturday.
Lakeside scored six touchdowns in the first two quarters, including a 90-yard Kyle Lee kickoff return after the Redskins narrowed the score to 13-8, to pull away in the nonleague affair.
“Defensively, we had a hard time stopping them,” Port Townsend coach Tom Webster said. “They run the power I and [running back] Kyle Lee is a pretty good player.”
Sophomore quarterback Jacob King led the Redskins with 124 yards of offense, throwing a 35-yard scoring pass to Austin Graham and running another in from four yards out.
Devon Courtney added 81 yards rushing, 51 of which came off a long TD run, on six carries.
“Our offense is starting to come around,” Webster said. “We’re getting more points on the board than we did last year.
“I like King running the ball, and Devon, this was his first-ever football game, so he did pretty well.”
Port Townsend (0-2, 0-4) hosts Cedar Park Christian (0-2, 2-2) next Friday.

Sequim 34, Bremerton 6
SEQUIM — The Wolves paid a steep price in winning their 22nd straight league game Friday night.
After rolling for five touchdowns and a 34-0 halftime lead, things got ugly in the Olympic League affair, according to Sequim head coach Erik Wiker.
There were cheap shots, trash talk directed at Sequim coaches and even a fight that led to the ejection of star quarterback Frank Catelli, Wiker said.
“It was pathetic,” he said. “There was a lot of hitting away from the ball and lots of stuff that shouldn’t have happened. At the end of the game, it was such an empty [feeling].”
According to Wiker, Catelli was provoked by a couple of Bremerton players at the bottom of a dogpile on the first drive of the second half.
After the play was over, Wiker said, a Knights player began punching Catelli in the face.
The Sequim senior then responded by trying to kick his way out of the pile.
After the officials conferred for several minutes, they decided to boot Catelli from the game, which means he will be unavailable for next week’s contest against North Mason.
“He didn’t get up and kick him. He was kicking somebody off him because he was getting punched in the face,” Wiker said.
“Frank reacted poorly, but if you see the film, you would understand why.”

Forks 30, Rochester 20
ROCHESTER — The Spartans (1-2, 1-3) earned their first win of the season in fine fashion, holding back physical Rochester in SWL-Evergreen Division action Friday night.
“The boys played real tough,” Forks coach Mark Feasel said. “It went well for us.”
The win ended a 12-game losing streak for Forks, which went 0-9 in 2010.
“After the game I told them, ‘I want you to relish this moment, and I also hope it makes you hungry for a lot more wins,’” Feasel said.
Ironically, the Forks defense was feeling strong and wanted to go on the field first if the Spartans won the coin toss, Feasel said.
Forks won the coin toss and Rochester promptly marched down the field with its running game and scored in eight plays.
“The boys stepped up after that, and the battle was on,” Feasel said. “Rochester has a beefy line and a good running game.”
Rochester scored twice after that but it was 30-14 before the Warriors scored the final touchdown in the last moments soon after the Spartans had a turnover.
“We’re still struggling with turnovers,” Feasel said.
The Spartans had four turnovers last week in a 24-0 loss to Hoquiam and had another four against the Warriors.
Forks’ bread-and-butter running plays held up well in the game, but it was the Spartans’ play-action pass plays that was the difference.
“Rochester worked hard to stop our sweep, and what really helped us a lot was our play-action pass plays where we got two touchdowns,” Feasel said.
It also helped that senior quarterback Brady Castellano was playing for the first time this year.
“Brady had a really good game,” Feasel said.
Castellano threw the two passes for touchdowns.
Senior receiver Tyler Penn caught both TD passes, and he added a running TD.
“Tyler had a phenomenal game,” Feasel said.
Also out for the first time this year was wide receiver/defensive back Jonah Penn, who helped the Spartans’ young secondary shut down the Warriors’ deep-ball.
Junior cornerback Trey Harris had an interception for the Spartans.
“Trey had a huge game for us,” Feasel said, “and he stepped it up and had some big runs for us.”
Shane WhiteEagle of Forks had another strong game at running back.
“He was just a workhorse for us on offense, and he and Sergio Chase had strong games at linebacker,” Feasel said.
Chase also broke through for a 35-yard TD as the team’s fullback.
A boxscore was unavailable as of press time. Look for one in Monday’s PDN.
The Spartans next travel to Onalaska on Friday.
Lopez Island 54, Clallam Bay 12
LOPEZ ISLAND — The Bruins (1-2, 1-3) ran out of gas in the heat and humidity after a long bus ride Saturday afternoon in Northwest Football League action.
“We got tired and we got frustrated later in the game,” coach Cal Ritter said.
Clallam Bay scored in the first quarter and third quarter on passes but couldn’t keep up with potent Lopez.
“Lopez had a real big line,” Ritter said. “Our kids gave everything they had. I really appreciated the effort the boys gave.”
Receiver Ryan Willis had both touchdowns, one for 35 yards and the other for 15, and he had 111 total receiving yards.
Scotty Mayberry caught two passes for 27 yards, while Casey Randall had 48 yards on two catches.
Quarterback Austin Ritter was 12 for 22 with no interceptions and the two TD passes for 192 yards.
He also ran the ball three times for 17 yards.
Quarterback Kelly Gregory was 2 of 3 with no interceptions for 69 yards.
Randall had 101 rushing yards on 14 carries while Jeremy Rock carried eight times for 52 yards.
The Bruins have a bye next week and then will play at Highland Christian on Oct. 7.
Lummi 57, Crescent 14
BELLINGHAM — Defending 1B state champion Lummi surged to a 25-6 halftime score and never looked back in the Northwest Football League game Friday night.
The Loggers (1-2, 2-2) scored once in the second quarter and once in the fourth period.
Crescent quarterback Kai Story connected with Eric Larson on a 55-yard scoring pass to make it a 19-6 game late in the first half.
Joel Williams scored Crescent’s other touchdown in the fourth quarter on a 1-yard run while Williams also passed to Austin Hutto for the two extra points.
The Blackhawks amassed 645 total yards to 314 for the Loggers.
Lummi quarterback Jared Tom had 325 yards through the air with four touchdowns, and he also had a running score.
Story was 8 for 12 with two interceptions and 183 yards while Williams was 3 of 5 with no interceptions and 38 yards.
