TACOMA — This team had one purpose.
This team was built for a state championship.
This was not a team happy just to get here, to the final game of the 2013 Washington high school football season.
So when it all came crashing down, when they had the ultimate prize ripped away from them on the last play, well, the Camas Papermakers were simply in a state of shock.
They quietly accepted the second-place trophy, then found friends, family, and of course, each other, looking for support.
There really was nothing else to do.
The Chiawana Riverhawks scored two touchdowns in the final minute to stun the Papermakers 27-26 in the Class 4A state high school football championship game Saturday night in the Tacoma Dome.
