The star of the show was once again Ethan Thayer, yet the Onalaska High School football team had their standard contributions from others in defeating Morton-White Pass 64-12 on Friday night at White Pass High School.
Since the Week 1 loss to Nooksack Valley, the Loggers (4-1, 2-0 C2BL East) have allowed 38 combined points and will get one more non-league test next week when Cascade Christian waltzes into town.
Thayer eclipsed 300 yards once again and scored four of his five touchdowns consecutively from 55, 58, 16 and 7-yards out. His first score in that stretch came after the Timberwolves (3-2, 1-1) couldn’t whittle the deficit down from 10 late in the opening quarter.
“We couldn’t convert,” MWP head coach Lee Metcalf said. “They put it to us. There is a lot of football left to be played.”
Onalaska head coach Mazen Saade was pleased with the efforts of Haze Hamrick and Morgan Allen on both sides of the ball. Hamrick caught a 4-yard TD pass and dashed his way 78-yards down the field in the final period.
“It has been really awesome to watch,” Saade added of Hamrick. “He works really hard.”
The Loggers coughed up the ball four times and lost three of them, but it never fazed them. They finished with 500-plus rushing yards as a group. MWP scored twice on a Kohen Ingalsbe 70-yard fumble return and a Logan Mays 80-yard kickoff return.
The T-Wolves face Bellevue Christian in their final non-league game of the season next week.
