Port Angeles 27, Bremerton 7
With a chance to secure consecutive wins for the first time since 2002, Bremerton High School dropped its Olympic League opener 27-7 against Port Angeles High School Sept. 17 at Memorial Stadium.
The Knights (1-2, 0-1) allowed three touchdowns in the second quarter for the second time in as many games, falling behind 27-0 at halftime and never coming back. A win would have given Bremerton a share of first place in the Olympic League.
Instead, the Roughriders (3-0, 1-0) remained the league’s only unbeaten team.
Bremerton hosts Sequim High School at 7 p.m. Friday at Memorial Stadium.
Central Kitsap 47, Shelton 7
Central Kitsap High School improved to 3-0 for the first time since 2007 thanks to another strong performance from quarterback Brett McDonald.
The senior ran for a touchdown, threw for another and compiled 243 all-purpose yards in a 47-7 victory over Shelton High School in the rain Sept. 17 at Silverdale Stadium.
McDonald connected with Jonathan Fergus on a 21-yard strike to give the Cougars (3-0 overall, 1-0 league) a 6-0 lead in the first quarter. He later scored on a 25-yard touchdown run to make it 26-0 in the third. Wide receiver Maurice Brown had five receptions for 141 yards.
Central Kitsap scored 14 points on defense and special teams, with Kyle Lanoue returning a fumble 36 yards for a score and Joshua Hoare returning a blocked punt 10 yards for another.
Shelton (1-2, 0-1), meanwhile, scored its lone touchdown in the fourth quarter.
The Cougars are one of two undefeated teams remaining in the Class 4A Narrows League — Bellarmine Preparatory School is the other — but they face perhaps their most difficult opponent Friday in Olympia High School, coming off a 27-17 win over South Kitsap High School.
Kickoff is at 7 p.m.
Kingston 42, Olympic 28
Olympic High School suffered its third loss in as many games in a 42-28 setback against Kingston High School under heavy rain Sept. 17 at Silverdale Stadium.
The Trojans (0-3, 0-1) trailed 28-14 at halftime and never closed the gap, allowing 14 unanswered points in the third quarter. Senior quarterback Willie Kudera completed 14 of 30 passes for 162 and two touchdowns, but threw two interceptions.
Despite the final score, it was Olympic’s best offensive performance this season. Running backs Shawn Brown and Ben Long both eclipsed the 100-yard mark, rushing for 168 and 118 yards.
Olympic visits North Mason High School (2-1, 1-0) at 7 p.m. Friday.
Sequim 53, Klahowya 0
The struggles continued for Klahowya Secondary School as the Eagles lost by more than 50 points for third consecutive week, falling 53-0 on the road Sept. 17 against Sequim.
Klahowya (0-3, 0-1) has been outscored 180-14 through three games, extending a 16-game losing streak that dates back to 2008. The Eagles face North Kitsap High School (0-3, 0-1) at 7 p.m. Friday at Silverdale Stadium.
