Two of Kelso’s six touchdowns Friday came on defense in its 42-13 home victory over Heritage in 3A Greater St. Helens League play.

Heritage (3-4, 0-3) scored both its touchdowns after trailing 42-0 in the fourth quarter on touchdown receptions by Treylon McGraw.

WASHOUGAL 28, R.A. LONG 0 — Elijah Franco had two touchdowns run and one touchdown pass and the Washougal defense recorded its second shutout.

He added a 24-yard touchdown pass to Parker Cherry in the second quarter and a 13-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.

KALAMA d. COLUMBIA-WHITE SALMON, forfeit — Columbia-White Salmon forfeited its Trico League game to Kalama. Injuries have left the Bruins with not enough eligible varsity players.
