SELAH 21, PROSSER 12: For the third straight week, the Vikings (3-0, 2-0) started slow, made their adjustments, and pulled out an impressive victory, this time to get the inside track on the CWAC South.
Cameron Ditter hauled in all three of Zak Donato’s touchdown passes, and the Selah defense stuffed Prosser, after it zipped down the field on its first two drives, to get the road win at Art Fiker Stadium.
Selah rallied from a 28-point deficit to beat Lakeside 55-41 in its opener, then had to fight to put away Ellensburg 42-35 last week.
JR Coleman capped Prosser’s first two drives of 80 and 71 yards with short touchdown runs to give the Mustangs (2-2, 0-2) a 12-7 lead after the first quarter, but they were shut out after that.
Kord Tuttle paced the Prosser offense with 145 yards on 20 carries, and Coleman picked up 80 yards on 17 touches.

Ki-Be (2-1 overall, 1-1 SCAC East) trailed by 10 points with eight minutes to play in the game.
Leo Gomez threw for 391 yards, with Alex Maya (147 yards receiving) and Daniel Rizin (135) each catching a touchdown pass.

HERMISTON 34, SUMMIT 14: Andrew James threw for 256 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Bulldogs to a 5A-Special District 1 victory over the Storm (2-2 overall, 1-1 SD1).

TRI-CITIES PREP 47, DAYTON/WAITSBURG 14: Quarterback Kobe Singleton rushed for 112 yards and scored three total touchdowns, Bubba Valencia carried it 19 times for 263 yards with two scores, and the Jaguars (3-1, 2-0) went on the road to pick up a win in EWAC play.
It was the first time the teams met since D-W (0-4, 0-2) knocked TCP out of the first round of the Class 2B state playoffs last year with a 34-14 victory.
Fighting rain and wind at Dayton High School, TCP threw the ball just twice, instead opting to run it 42 times for 488 yards (11.6/play average). Zerek Baker was the third Jaguar to rush for 100+ yards, picking up 112 on just eight carries, and book-ending the team’s scoring with a 3-yard TD in the first quarter and a 5-yarder in the third.
