While the wet and windy weather the state experienced Friday slowed and hampered many teams around the state, the Eatonville Cruisers battled through it successfully. Led by two Ky Nation touchdowns, Eatonville defeated the Castle Rock Rockets, 24-18, in the Southwest Washington District IV football playoffs to claim its fourth consecutive trip to the state playoffs. How it happened Eatonville opened the game with the ball, but the Cruisers’ first drive went nowhere, and they were forced to punt. The Rockets got the ball at their 32-yard line and strung together a drive, aided by many penalties, to the Cruisers’ 19-yard line before the Eatonville defense got a big stop on fourth down, and Castle Rock turned the ball over on downs.
The Eatonville offense again sputtered, and the Cruisers punted the ball back to the Rockets.

With the ball in Castle Rock territory at the 40-yard line, Eatonville needed 10 plays before its drive stalled at the Castle Rock 18-yard line, and coach Gavin Kralik sent the field goal unit out. In the torrential downpour and swirling wind, Job Kralik hit on a 35-yard field goal for the first score of the night to give the Cruisers a 3-0 lead with 9 minutes left in the half. Castle Rock returned the kick to the 20-yard line and then strung together a 13play, 80-yard drive that was aided by a Lane Partridge 38-yard run. The Rockets capped the drive when Stephen Ibsen found the FOOTBALL Page 2Æ

For the boys, Mueller improved on last year’s 69th place state finish with a 29th-place finish in a time of 18:25.60. Rush, competing in his first state meet, finished in 94th place with a time of 18:48. Coach Geoff Olson said he was very proud of how his team competed this season. “I am extremely proud of all of them,” he said. “They had a great season. All the kids ran awesome and proved they belong at the state meet.” With five of the seven runners returning next year, the Cruisers could have another strong season on tap.
