Wv, Cheney Both Win Big

West Valley and Cheney moved one step closer to an end-of-season Frontier League championship game with easy victories Friday night.

The pair were expected to play for the title in their season finale and after Friday night the prediction was looking good.

Cheney defeated Riverside 22-6 to run its record to 5-0 in league and 7-0 overall. WV dominated Clarkston during a 38-18 triumph for a 3-0-1 Frontier mark.

About their only failing was an inability to make extra points WV must still play Riverside before their home game with Cheney.

“Last February we were lifting weights and (linebacker) Will Herndon asked what I thought,” said Eagle coach Steve Kent following the win. “I said we had a chance to maybe play them for the title. We’ve got to take care of business next week and see what happens.”

WV 38, Clarkston 18

West Valley’s offense got the football back so quickly and kept it so long that Eagle defensive coordinator Ray Riggin compared himself to the Maytag repairman.

“I’ve got nothing to do,” he said.

WV’s defense was tested only in the final 3 minutes of the half.

Justin Tichy raced 58 yards to score on the game’s third play, the defense held on three downs and WV had the ball virtually thereafter in running up a 24-0 lead.

“We came into the game with the idea of not letting a team that was down in the standings knock us off,” Tichy said. “I think our line jumped off the ball right off the bat.”

The Eagles did miss all four point after tries and were penalized six times for 60 yards in the first half.

But they outgained Clarkston 229 yards to 51 as Tichy and quarterback Riley Allen split the four TDs.

Tichy also scored in the third quarter and finished the night with 151 rushing yards on 19 carries.

“Justin is one of the best backs around but wasn’t getting a chance to get into the end zone,” said Kent. “It was nice to see him do that.”

Allen rushed for 70 yards and was 7 for 10 passing for 96 more.

WV led 38-8 early in the fourth quarter and ended the game outgaining its opponent 384-115 in total offensive yards against a team which had gained nearly 300 yards last week.

“When I was told they had 300 yards against Cheney I got a lump in my stomach,” said Kent. “I’m surprised we jumped on them like that.”
