WHITE SWAN, Wash. – After a scoreless first quarter, the Waitsburg Cardinal football team got hot in the second, scoring 21 unanswered points on the way to a big 35-6 victory.

In the second quarter, quarterback Jacob Dunn completed touchdown passes to Brandon Penner for 36 yards and Jason Carter for 13 yards. Running back Travis Crockett added a three-yard touchdown run prior to intermission.

In the third quarter, Crockett scored again on a 44-yard pass play from Dunn. Dunn added a ten-yard rushing TD in that quarter to complete Waitsburg's scoring.

"The long bus ride (three hours) always hurts us, and we started out slow gaining one first down, six yards rushing and 19 yards passing in the first quarter," said Waitsburg Head Coach Troy Larsen. "The offensive and defensive lines were the true story of the game, stopping the White Swan complex rushing attack to under 100 yards," he added.


The Cardinals had 430 yards total offense for the game, including 283 rushing and 167 passing. Dunn was eight for 11 with three touchdowns and one interception.

Crockett carried the ball 15 times for 164 yards and one TD. Dunn had six carries for 29 yards and a TD.

Crockett had two receptions for 59 yards and one TD, and Jarvis Russell had two catches for 56 yards.

Place kicker Jordan Garrity was five for five in extra point tries.

Garrity also led his team in tackles with 10. Nicolas Kitselman had nine tackles.

Waitsburg will host Weston-McEwen on Thursday night at 7 p.m.
