On the sidelines: Ahead of the curve

A beautiful cross from Nathan Beasley and a header into the net by Adam Allison propeled the Papermaker boys soccer team to a 1-0 victory against Bishop Blanchet in the first round of the state tournament Wednesday, at Doc Harris Stadium.

Mountain View defeated Camas 2-1 in the quarterfinals Saturday, at Doc Harris Stadium. The first goal of the game didn’t come until the final 20 minutes. Houston Taie played a little pinball with the goal posts and found the back of the net for the Papermakers. But then the Thunder struck twice and held on for the last 11 minutes to advance to the Final Four. Camas finished with a record of 16-3.
