HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
Naselle 60, Pomeroy 50
SOUTH BEND, Wash. — Sixth-seeded Pomeroy gave No. 3 Naselle all it could handle in a high-scoring Washington Class 1B state playoff quarterfinal at South Bend High School, but it was the Comets who came out on top in the end.
Jett Slusser figured in six of Pomeroy’s seven touchdown plays and logged 187 yards rushing plus 211 passing for 398 in total offense. A pair of short rushing touchdowns by Slusser in the fourth quarter had things tied up at 44 points apiece, but Naselle’s Jack Strange responded with his own fifth and sixth touchdowns of the day to establish a gap the Pirates would prove unable to close again.
Kyzer Herres added another 130 rushing yards and scored the opening touchdown of the game for Pomeroy (10-2). Jacob Reisinger had 137 receiving yards and caught for the Pirates’ final touchdown of the game and the season.
