PAGE B4, KEIZERTIMES, NOVEMBER 9, 2018 Whiteaker falls to Parrish in title game By DEREK WILEY Of the Keizertimes Whiteaker’s varsity football team didn’t get its storybook ending, falling to Parrish 20-6 on Thursday, Nov. 1 in the Sa- lem-Keizer Middle School Championship game. “We came out fl at,” White- aker head coach Tom Larimer said. “I think the kids were super nervous. We didn’t block well in the fi rst quarter. We started to play better in the second quar- ter. We got close a number of times and just didn’t execute when we had to execute.” The Wolverines tied the game at 6-6 when quarter- back Braiden Copeland scored a 4-yard rushing touchdown with 55 seconds remaining in the fi rst half. Whiteaker then recovered an on-side kick and Copeland con- nected with Johan Singh-San- chez for a 34-yard gain to get inside the Parrish 5-yard line. However, three plays later, Co- peland was tackled at the 2-yard line as time expired. Parrish running back Josi- ah Davis then broke free for a 53-yard touchdown run on the second play of the third quarter to give the North Salem feeder the lead for good. The Wolverine offense again drove inside the Parrish 10-yard line but weren’t able to score any points after a holding pen- alty set up a fourth-and-long at the 21. Whiteaker’s defense then produced a turnover when line- backer Hunter Ruberto blitzed through the Parrish line and intercepted a handoff from Pio- neers quarterback Nevin Zeller. But even starting at the Par- rish 14-yard line, the Wolver- ines failed to add any points. “It was tough to run the ball against them,” Larimer said. “They’re big. They’re strong. They were putting eight or nine guys in the box and they were making it tough to run. They have some really good athletes up front.” Micah Richter added an 88- yard touchdown run for Par- rish with 6:52 remaining in the game. Copeland got Whiteaker back into the red zone on a 59-yard run but the drive end- ed with an incomplete pass on fourth down at the 13. Copeland fi nished with 99 yards rushing and 144 passing. The Wolverines entered the game 7-0. “I love these kids,” Larim- er said. “They try so hard and I told them win or lose I feel exactly the same about them. I love these kids. They’re like my own kids now. I just feel grate- ful to be involved and to have this kind of interaction with these kids. Parrish has a bunch of good athletes and when they needed to make plays they made plays and they deserved to win that game.” KEIZERTIMES/Derek Wiley Whiteaker eighth grader Hunter Ruberto catches a pass against Parrish last Thursday. STATE, continued from Page B1 “We played a little harder, a little faster, like we should have played the whole game,” Auvinen said of the Celtics ef- fort in the second half. Barker completed 9 of 17 passes for 145 yards. Wall- ing rushed for 50 yards on 17 carries to fi nish his junior year with 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns. McNary fi nished the sea- son 4-6., winning all four of its Mountain Valley Confer- ence games. The Celtics were outscored 307-113 in non-league games. “We did not do well out of league,” Auvinen said. “I think we have the ability. I think we just have to get the mentality going that we be- long and get after it.” KEIZERTIMES/Derek Wiley McNary senior Devyn Schurr is tackled at Lakeridge.
