Friday’s report

FOOTBALL

Doc Harris Stadium didn’t stop rocking around the clock.

The Camas High School marching band played on and on, the cheerleaders jumped higher and the fans cheered louder, as the Papermakers squashed Rainier Beach 56-0 for their first playoff victory in three years.

Camas scored 35 points in the second quarter, and started the running clock with nine minutes left in the third quarter. Rainier Beach did not complete a first down until there was about two minutes left in the game. Before that, the Papermakers forced a combination of 10 punts, two turnovers and a stop on fourth down.

Making his first varsity start at quarterback, Tony Gennaro threw four touchdowns to four different receivers. One of them was Zack Marshall, who also had three touchdown runs. Jeremy Faulkner made two interceptions, and a touchdown catch. Addison Owen and Miguel Salamanca added touchdown catches, and Julian Samuels scored the final touchdown on a run.

The Papermakers are scheduled to host a state playoff game with Juanita of Kirkland next Saturday, at Doc Harris Stadium. Kickoff is at 6 p.m. Camas defeated Jaunita for the Oregon State University football camp during the summer. A win next week would be their first state playoff victory in school history.

Saturday’s report

GIRLS SOCCER

Camas defeated Auburn Mountainview 1-0, on a goal by Janae Benson with less than 20 minutes to go.

Sixty minutes of soccer settled nothing. Then, the Papermakers kicked the intensity up a notch.

After having one corner kick from the left deflected out of bounds, Camas set up another from the right. The corner from Adrienne Engel appeared to be one its way out again, but Annike Sumpter kept the ball in play and passed it back to Sara Slayton in the left corner.

Slayton’s first thought was to shoot the ball, but Sumpter shouted “cross” and Kailee Esser yelled “drop.” Slayton fed Esser because she had a better angle.

Esser had an open window for a shot that she could not see. The ball darted across the goal line and deflected off of the far goal post back into play. Benson made the right read and blasted the ball into the left corner of the net for a huge goal.

The whole team rushed to hug Benson and Esser, and then finished the game strong.

The Papermakers are on their way back to state. They will host Juanita of Kirkland in the first round Wednesday, at Doc Harris Stadium.
