; ■ ' ' • K . . & ’J, «*»*• W Grant coaches; Wilhelm plays on team %. \ l Travis Wilhelm By Gerry Steele Of the Baker City Herald The East entered the 1998 East-West Shrine All-Star Football Game with a highly- touted passing game. And, when the lights were turned out in Bulldog Memorial Stadium Saturday evening, the West had found out why. Five East quarterbacks com bined to complete 24 of 44 passes for 387 yards and four touchdowns to hand the West a 34-6 defeat in the 46th annual classic held to raise money for the Shriners Hospital for Children in Portland. Manst’s Bucky Rivera and On tario's Mike Peterson did most of the damage for the East. Rivera drew the starting assignment and completed 14 of 24 passes for 208 yards and one touchdown. Peterson, the Class 3A player of the year while leading Ontario to the state championship, completed 2 of 2 passes for 73 yards and a pair of scores. Peterson, who spent most of the evening at a receiver position, also caught eight passes for 90 yards. North Valley's Brad Kudlac was the East's big-play receiver, snaring three passes for 113 yards and two touchdowns. The East used a bit of razzle dazzle to score its first touchdown with 5:47 left in the first quarter. Facing a third-and-8 on the West 27, Rivera took the snap and handed the ball off to Kudlac sweeping to the left end. Kudlac in turn handed the ball to Peterson going the other way on a reverse. But, the trickery didn't stop there. Peterson spotted South Umpqua's Dane Williams down field and fired a 27-yard TD strike. Jeff Scott of Bonanza added the conversion kick. The East's second score, with 2:18 left in the first period, also came on an apparent fluke play. After recovering a West fumble on the East 42, the East needed just five plays to score. This time, Peterson found Kudlac on a 46-yard TD aerial. Kudlac took the ball in stride on the left sideline, broke two tackles while cutting across the field and scooted in for the score. Ironically, the pass wasn't in tended for Kudlac. Peterson actually was throwing the ball to Baker tight end Dan Scnvner, who was also open about five yards in front of Kudlac. But the ball sailed over Scnvner's head and into Kudlac's hands. "I think it was supposed to have been for me," Scnvner said moments later on the sidelines, confirming what an East assistant coach told him as the offense came off the field "That's OK, we scored. That's the main thing," Scnvner said. The conversion kick was missed, leaving the East on top 13-0. The East increased its lead to 21-0 with 3:36 left in the first half, and again Peterson played a key role. After taking over on its own 49, the East mounted a 10-play scoring drive. Greg Grant Peterson did the honors on a 1 - yard plunge which wasn't as easy as it might sound. Sliding in at quarterback, Peterson first bounced off a pack of players in the center of the line. He then rolled off the pack and dove into the end zone off right tackle. Jared Lewis of Wallowa scored the two-point conversion on a fake PAT kick. The West mounted its lone scoring drive following the ensuing kickoff. Starting on its own 29 the West needed 12 plays to score. Santiam’s Aaron T homas did the honors on a 2-yard run up the middle. Thomas appeared to be stopped twice, but second and third effort produced the points. The scoring drive was sparked by Regis quarterback Bart Bishop who completed 5 of 7 passes for 53 yards. The East struck quickly to open the second half, scoring seven plays into the third quarter. On the scoring play, Rivera found Kudlac in stride wide open in the center of the field for a 42-yard TD connection. Kudlac took the pass over his shoulder without breaking stride and raced untouched to the end zone. Scott's PAT kick boosted the East up 28-6. The East finished the scoring with 2:68 lett in the game when Scott found Sweet Home's TNT Nichols with a 3-yard scoring toss. The East finished the game with 440 yards total offense, the West 395. J.C. Udey of South Wasco County was the East's top rusher with 31 yards on six carries. Matt Benjamin of Tillamook led the West ground game with 84 yards on 13 carries. Caleb Robbins of Douglas completed 6 of 11 passes for 97 yards for the West. Bishop was 9 of 23 for 96 yards. Tony Carley of Monroe caught six passes for 77 yards. The win was the fourth straight and fifth in the past six games- the teams tied in 1994-for the East which now leads the overall senes 22-21-3.

"It was a fantastic week spent with quality kids," said Grant. "It was even more fun when they all played so well and experienced so much success. Travis made several tackles defensively at strong safety and outside linebacker positions." "It's a neat experience for a coach to get to coach kids from all over," added Grant.
