CHS football to host playoff game
Randy Yaacoub ran for 172 yards to lead a powerful ground attack as the Camas High School (CHS) football team beat Olympia High School 48-13 on Friday, Nov. 8, at Doc Harris Stadium in a Week 10 playoff game.
The Papermakers (10-0) clinched a berth to the 4A state tournament with the win. They’ll play host to Eastmont High School at 2 p.m. Saturday in a first-round loser-out contest.
CHS was seeded No. 2 in the 16-team tournament by a committee made up of coaches, athletic directors and media members. The Wildcats (9-1), who earned their second straight state tournament by beating Sunnyside High School in a three-team tiebreaker last weekend, are seeded 15th.
“We came out on top of a good Olympia squad,” Papermakers coach John Eagle said. “Our goal is to continue to improve this week, fix some things and prepare for a very good Eastmont team.”
Gabe Guo ran for 84 yards and Jacques Badolato-Birdsell added 78 yards on the ground for CHS, and Blake Ascuitto threw for 307 yards and two touchdowns in an offensive display that was generated by a feisty Papermakers defense against the Bears.
