MARYSVILLE — Arlington takes on the current No. 1 Wesco North 3A team, Marysville-Pilchuck Friday, Oct. 17, at Quil Ceda stadium.
M-P has plowed through its first two conference games, taking down Stanwood and Marysville Getchell. Both teams have defeated MG, but M-P trounced the Chargers by a much-wider margin.
Arlington, on the other hand, defeated MG in a closer contest 27-21 and was bested by Oak Harbor 41-27 the week after.
The most definitive aspect of the Tomahawk’s offensive game is their rushing attack. Running backs Austin Joyner and Killian Page have compiled the majority of M-P’s yardage and touchdowns.
But Arlington counters with receivers Donavan Sellgren, Noah Andal and Connor Bovard having reeled in touchdowns from quarterback Andrew Kalahar.
Marysville-Pilchuck dominated Marysville Getchell Oct. 3 at the Berry Bowl 51-7.
Joyner started off M-P’s offensive game with a 62-yard touchdown and then returned a 67-yard punt for another score.
Page filled in for an injured Joyner, and rushed for 234 yards and found the end zone four times in the first half.
MG’s Devon Green scored the only points for the Chargers with a 5-yard run in the third quarter
M-P played Everett Oct. 10 but results happened after press time.
Meanwhile, Arlington lost its last game against Oak Harbor 41-27 Oct. 3. The Eagles were outscored in the first three quarters, but did have some success on defense with Benicio Madrigal returning a 48-yard fumble for a touchdown in the first quarter. Andrew Kalahar connected with Noah Andal for an 11-yard touchdown in the second quarter.
Arlington was the only team to score in the fourth quarter with Kyler Smith running it in for a 9-yard touchdown, and Kalahar throwing a 12-yard pass to Andal for another one.
Arlington played Stanwood Oct. 10, but results were too late for deadline.
MARYSVILLE — Marysville Getchell travels to Everett to take on the winless Seagulls Friday, Oct. 17. Though ranked at the bottom of the 3A North, Everett’s quarterback Murdock Rutledge, can connect with his receivers for touchdowns and yardage. MG played Oak Harbor Oct. 10, but results were too late for press time.
LAKEWOOD — The Cougars host Sultan Friday, Oct. 17.
Sultan is currently ranked at the bottom in the Wesco 1A standings, but the Turks can score in their passing game as demonstrated when Tanner Belcher connected with Kolton Anderson for a 48-yard touchdown in their last game against King’s Oct. 3. Lakewood played Cedar Park Christian in Juanita Oct. 10, but results were too late for deadline.
Lakewood topped Cedarcrest 50-20 with Blake Watts opening the Cougars offense with a touchdown pass and running it in for another score.
