Wesco players help West beat East 21-13

SPOKANE — With one final showing in their high-school careers, several outgoing Wesco seniors helped the West defeat the East 21-13 in the annual East/West All-State football game on Friday.

With the game tied at 13-13 in the fourth quarter, Kennedy Catholic’s J.R. Ngauamo scored on a 3-yard touchdown run for the West and it added a two-point conversion to take the lead. The East got the ball back with time to drive down the field for a potential touchdown and game-tying two-point conversion, but came up short.

Glacier Peak kicker Spencer Pettit got the West on the scoreboard first with a 45-yard field goal in the first quarter. Pettit’s field goal was the only scoring of the first quarter.

The East answered back in the second quarter when Union Kyle Vermeulen returned an interception 62 yards for a touchdown to give it a 7-3 lead. Moses Lake’s Rehn Reiley kicked a 48-yard field goal later in the quarter to give the East a 10-3 lead.

That lead held until the final moments of the first half when Cascade’s Hamilton Kendrick made one of the plays of the game. Kendrick’s interception with 18 seconds left to play in the first half set up a 6-yard touchdown pass from Monroe’s Andrew Zimmerman to Bothell’s Shawn Munro on the very next play to tie the score at 10-10 going into halftime.

Zimmerman finished the game 7-for-12 with 59 yards and a touchdown.

Pettit kicked his second field goal of the game, this time from 35 yards out, with 2:37 left in the third quarter to give the West a 13-10 lead, which is how the third quarter would end.

Reiley tied the score once again at 13-13 with a 33-yard field goal with 8:21 to play in the game.

Kamiak’s Tyler Becker completed one of his five passes for nine yards and Mountlake Terrace’s Ryan Lacasse caught one pass for 12 yards.
