Opportunity wound up in the hands of Zach Eagle and Michael DiGenova, and they delivered for the Papermakers.
The Camas football team turned five defensive touchdowns into a 62-15 victory against Evergreen Friday, at McKenzie Stadium.
“We knew our defense was pretty darn good, but I had never seen anything like that before,” said head coach Jon Eagle. “I just love their style of play. It’s aggressive, fast and physical. They play sideline to sideline with clean, hard hits.”
DeGenova recovered three fumbles and returned them all for touchdowns. He picked up two of those balls in the end zone and the other one from about 40 yards away.
“You never know where that ball is going to bounce. It could have ended up in three of four different player’s hands, it just happened to be mine,” DeGenova said. “It wasn’t just me. I got lucky. It will probably never happen again.”
