4A State Playoffs
No. 13 Glacier Peak 38, No. 4 Chiawana 18
PASCO — The Grizzlies (10-1) weren’t thrilled with the state seeding committee’s decision to place them at the 13th spot, forcing Glacier Peak to travel to the Tri-Cities to play a tough Riverhawks (10-1) squad.
But after fumbling twice in the first half, Glacier Peak trailed just 18-14 with a chance to move on to the 4A state quarterfinal for the first time in school history (GP advanced to the 3A quarterfinal last in 2015). The defense led the charge, as the unit that head coach Shane Keck has praised as the heart of his team pitched a second-half shutout and even scored themselves to secure a 38-18 win.
Senior LB Luke Fullerton, still wearing a club for a broken arm he suffered in Week 2 against Snohomish, shone with two timely interceptions, including a pick-six. Midway through the year, it wasn’t clear if the defender would get a chance to suit up for the silver and navy again — the injury carried an eight-week recovery time.
“He loves football,” Keck told The Herald over the phone. “A rallying cry going into the (Week 6) Arlington game was, ‘Man, we want to give Luke Fullerton a chance to play more football games.’”
Fullerton paid his teammates back and more, notching one INT on a third-and-goal play at the six-yard line, which he returned to midfield. The other came in Chiawana territory, as Fullerton rumbled around 40 yards for the score.
On the other end, senior star RB Isaiah Owens ran wild for three scores while WR Mikhail Sholukh caught a TD to secure the win. Glacier Peak will take on No. 5 Sumner next week as Keck’s team reintroduces itself to the biggest stage.
“Our kids feel like they belong in this place,” Keck said.
