The Camas football team came home Friday and defeated Battle Ground 49-21 to become league champions. The Papermakers earned a perfect 5-0 record in their first year in the 4A Greater St. Helens League.
“My whole life has been on this field with my brothers and my family,” said senior running back Vince Huber. “I’ll never forget these last four years of high school and growing up with these guys. I’m happy with everything we’ve accomplished together.”
Nate Beasley delivered two touchdown runs and snagged an interception on defense. Zach Eagle added a 43-yard interception return for a touchdown. Reilly Hennessey fired touchdown passes to Connor Maloney and Dylan White. Huber and John Norcross also had touchdown runs.
“Nate and Vince were running all over the place, and our linemen were getting the blocks,” Maloney said. “Reilly got the ball right were it needed to be. Everything just flowed and worked out for us.”
This is only the third Camas football team to go undefeated in league. The last time was in 2010, when the Papermakers won their first state playoff game in school history.
