Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley
Coaches Corner:with Troy Larsen
DAYTON/WAITSBURG—Dayton Waitsburg Wolfpack had a rough Thursday night game at Finley, WA, on October 21. The team came out and played a good first quarter holding River View High School to one touchdown at the end of the quarter.
Coach Troy Larsen shared:
“I expected the whole game to play out like the first quarter, but the injury bug caught us. We lost four players to injuries starting with senior Brayden Mohney who got caught up in friendly fire after making a great open field tackle and ended up with a concussion. Shortly after Jayce Gleason went down with a broken collarbone, followed by our defensive leader in tackles Theo Anderson breaking his ankle running down a tackle.
“We finished the half with our last senior Hunter Berg taking a helmet shot to his head and suffering whiplash. We played the second half with a lot of young student athletes out of their normal positions helping us finish the night out. River View played aggressive defense and held our offense to minimal gains all night. We are spending the long weekend putting a game plan together for undefeated Columbia Burbank which will arrive Friday night for our last home game and Senior Night.”
