The defense was led by Hubbard and Young, who combined for eight tackles for loss. “Those two are relentless,” said Ochoa. “They are my max effort guys up front.” Tom Larimer also praised linebackers Cy Schmaltz, Ben Roth, and Isaac Evarts for their strong play, as well as de- fensive linemen Hunter Zim- merman and Justin Liene- mann. “Many of our kids are re- ally undersized and many are Award-Winning Authentic American BBQ Now 2 Locations 1210 State Street 503-362-2194 2505 Liberty St NE 503-689-1082 crossword new to the game but they are doing a great job for us so far,” he said.
