Non-league football: La Center 35, Ridgefield 7

La Center senior quarterback Hayden Williamson threw for two scores and ran for two more as host La Center scored 28 of its 35 points in the second half en route to a win over Ridgefield in non-league action Friday night.

The Wildcats (1-2) used a potent ground attack, rushing for 279 yards. Juniors Wyatt Dodson and Colin Namanny led the way with 100 and 96 yards respectively. Williamson racked up 158 of his 186 yards passing in the second half, throwing touchdown passes to fellow seniors Evan Honore and Clint Smith.

The Wildcat defense also came up big, holding the Spudders scoreless for most of the game after allowing 77 points in their first two games.

Ridgefield junior quarterback Dawson Lieurance, who missed last week’s game because of injury, passed for 196 yards in the loss. Lieurance’s 26 yard pass to Tucker Roberts accounted for the Spudders’ lone touchdown.

Junior tight end Brock Harrison caught eight passes for 112 yards for Ridgefield, who fell to 1-2 on the season. Senior Jeremy Martin added 23 yards rushing and 40 yards receiving for the Spudders, who open their 2A Greater St. Helens schedule next Friday night at undefeated Hockinson.

La Center plays host to Hoquiam (2-1) from the 1A Evergreen League next Friday.
