In a thriller, Kamiakin defeats visiting Eastmont in overtime, 21-14, at Lampson Stadium in Kennewick.
After a scoreless first half, Kamiakin took the lead in the third quarter. Eastmont tied it in the fourth, aided by a blocked punt, then stunned the homecoming crowd by taking a lead midway through the fourth quarter with an 80-yard pass and catch. The Braves tied the score with under a minute to go in the fourth.
In overtime, the Braves scored in two plays. An interception ended Eastmont's hopes, sending the Wildcats back to East Wenatchee with a loss.

Kamiakin's Zach Umemoto and Chiawana's Jordan Downing share a lot of traits as hard-nosed running backs and hard-hitting linebackers.
