Prep football: Jackson rises to top of Wesco South

EVERETT — A variety of plays, a variety of scorers.

And now, quite the variety of wins for the Jackson Timberwolves this season.

After a 50-49 overtime victory last week and a 35-14 Wesco South victory Friday night over Kamiak, it was as close to opposite as games can be.

“Kamiak presented challenges different than Lake Stevens,” Jackson head coach Joel Vincent said. “I was nervous all week long. We have been through a tough three-game stretch. You wonder how long the kids can hang in there. But give our kids the credit because it showed on the field.”

Jackson’s diverse offense ran from a multitude of sets and its defense controlled the action early on against Kamiak and allowed the Timberwolves to dominate the field position battle.

Taylor Cox scored Jackson’s first touchdown on a direct-snap, 22-yard run, putting Jackson up 7-0. Then Cox scored again, slashing into the end zone from 3 yards out. That score put Jackson up 14-0 at halftime. The T-Wolves ran 14 times for 121 yards, with the lump of those carries coming in the first half.

“We have three guys that can take snaps and run the offense,” Vincent said.

Vincent also said the job the Timberwolves’ defense did really set the tone for the offense. Jackson had 50 or fewer yards to go on four of their five touchdown drives.

Kamiak, shut out last week, remained scoreless into the third quarter. Kamiak quarterback Sam Ruppel directed a solid drive, calling his own number for a 39-yard quarterback scramble and on the next play ran 5 yards up the middle for a Knights touchdown with 17 seconds remaining in the period. Ruppel finished the game 10-for-17 passing for 141 yards, including an 8-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Josh Glenn. Glenn had seven catches for 73 yard and Aaron Miller had eight rushes for 71 yards.
