WASHOUGAL — It was senior night Friday at Fishback Stadium for the Washougal Panthers, facing the Mark Morris Monarchs in their home finale.

Naturally, it was two seniors who carried the load on their night: running backs Brandon Casteel and Garrett Duey, who were a 1-2 punch for Washougal all season in leading the Panthers to a 27-0 win in the season finale.

“It felt great,” said Casteel, who finished with 248 yards on 27 carries with three touchdowns. “This was the first time I’ve beaten Mark Morris at any level.”

After the Monarchs fumbled on their first drive, something that would be a recurring theme, Casteel took the first Panthers play from scrimmage 51 yards for a touchdown, setting the tone for the game.

Mark Morris had to work to get the ball down the field and the times they did their drives were sabotaged by turnovers. The Monarchs had four turnovers on the night with two coming inside the 2-yard line.

Meanwhile, the Panthers offense racked up the yards with big chunk after big chunk.

Although the season ended for the Panthers, Casteel is positive with how it went.

“Being with this group of guys every day is great. I don’t know how many people I will be able to be in contact with throughout high school or outside. I’m just going to miss them all,” he said. “Right now, I’m glad I spent it with my team and my family.”
