TIGERS: Monkus comes up big on both sides of the ball
Continued from 1B
wide grin. “This is part of the
process we’ve been talking
about all season, the kids kept
believing and now we held a
pretty explosive Kennedy
team to just 13 points.”
It was clear from the
start that Stanfield was the
better team on Saturday,
as the Tigers defense won
the battles in the trenches
and the offense was able to
move the ball effectively.
Stanfield’s defense, which
had been gashed for more
than 400 yards by the Trojans
last season, held Kennedy to
just 236 total yards — 143
rushing and 93 passing — and
contained
all-conference
running back Bishop Mitchell
effectively.
“Defense won the game,”
Salas said. “I mean 13 points
to an explosive team that
was dominating everybody,
putting teams down. I knew
we had our work cut out for us
but I knew that if we followed
our game plan we’d be fine
and it went our way.”
Mitchell tallied a total of
113 yards on 20 carries and
two touchdowns — though
88 of those yards came on
one touchdown run in the
third quarter. Aside from that,
Mitchell gained just 25 yards
on 19 carries.
“We played a near perfect
game,” Salas said. “With
Mitchell we had Thyler
Monkus spying him the whole
time and everybody came
together as a unit and the kids

executed our game plan.”
Along with his defensive
excellence, Monkus was a
difference maker on offense
as he led the team with 138
rushing yards and two touch-
downs on 17 carries and also
caught seven passes for 46
yards. Monkus’ performance
earned him Player of the
Game recognition by the
OSAA.
“Thyler’s our guy,” Salas
said. “He works hard and
always wants the ball and even
when he’s banged up he still
wants the ball and makes plays
for us. We’ll ride the back of
that 150-pound kid every day
and that’s what we did tonight,
whenever we needed a big
play or a first down we gave
the ball to Thyler.”
Monkus scored the game’s
first touchdown late in the
first quarter when he took
an end-around hand-off on
4th-and-3 at the Kennedy 12
and sped through the Trojan
defense for a 7-0 Stanfield
lead after Enoel Angel kicked
the extra point. Stanfield then
scored again late with just 10
seconds left in the half when
quarterback Dylan Grogan hit
Brody Woods on a 12-yard
slant pattern in the end zone.
Another extra point by Angel
gave the Tigers the 14-7 lead
going into the half.
In the third quarter, the
Trojans got right back in the
game on Mitchell’s 88-yard
score and forced a Stanfield
punt on the Tigers’ ensuing
drive to get the ball back
looking to take the lead. But
on a 3rd-and-10 pass, Kennedy
quarterback Brett Traeger
floated the ball too much and
Stanfield cornerback Justin
Keeney read the route perfectly
and picked it off at the Kennedy
40 to flip momentum back in
the Tigers’ favor.
“They were in spread and
we were locked up at the time
so I had to stay on my guy,”
Keeney said of the play, “and
then when he turned back I saw
the ball go up and just made
the play. I wanted to make
sure I didn’t drop it and then
just wanted to start running but
then I got tackled.”
“Justin Keeney is a special
kid,” Salas added. “He’s one
of the most polite kids you’ll
ever meet but he is one heck
of a football player. He just
comes through with big plays.
Last year he had some miscues
as a sophomore but he learned
from that, he’s growing and
this year he’s come out and
had one heck of a game.”
Stanfield cashed in on the
field position when Grogan
barreled his way for a two-yard
touchdown to put the Tigers
up 20-13 with just over four
minutes left in the third
quarter. From that point on it
was all Stanfield, as the offense
scored on each of its final three
possessions and the defense
kept the Trojans at bay.
The win sets up a champi-
onship game with the Tigers
and the No. 1 seed Regis
Rams next Saturday at 4 p.m.
at Kennison Field in Herm-
iston. It will be a rematch
from Week 2 of the regular
season when the Tigers beat
the Rams 20-14 in Stanfield.
“No disrespect to anybody
else, but I felt the whole season
once we played Regis that we
were the two best teams in the
state and we’re ready to go at
it again,” Salas said.
