FRIDAY
Wesco 3A South
Meadowdale 34, Edmonds-Woodway 31
EDMONDS — Meadowdale junior Zekiah Gamble scrambled to his left with 10 seconds remaining and heaved a prayer into the end zone from 17 yards out into a crowd of players with his team trailing by four. Senior receiver Kealoha Kepo’o-Sabate managed to pull down the pass to secure an upset win for the Mavericks (2-2 overall, 1-2 league). The host Warriors (3-1, 2-1), who came into the day leading the league, clawed back from down 10 in the fourth to take the lead with four minutes remaining before Gamble and company found the winner.
Gamble finished with 118 yards passing and three TDs, while running back Cayden Rivera led the Meadowdale ground game with 143 yards on just 12 carries. Aidan Osborne was also featured on the ground, taking his 11 carries for 75 yards and two TDs. It was a valiant effort for the Edmonds-Woodway rushing attack, as Carmelo LaRocca (74 rushing yards) scored two of his three TDs in that fourth-quarter comeback attempt. Nathan Schlack also made an 83-yard house call on a kick return while QB George Gizzi threw for 225 yards for the Warriors.

EDMONDS — The Hawks (4-0, 2-0) earned their third shutout of the season in a commanding win over the Scots (2-2, 0-2).
