The Yreka Chargers Mighty Mite defense was at its optimum this past Saturday against the Willows Coyotes. The Coyotes barely had a chance to get off the fifty yard line against the Charger defensive line of Wesley Ward, Travis Arwood, Skylar Conrad, Antonio Fernandez and Randall (RV) Hughes. Devon Applewhite had an outstanding tackle in the backfield as did Wesley Ward and Hughes.

Skylar “The Wreckn’ Ball” Conrad ran for two touchdowns in the second quarter, right through the Coyote defense. Donovan Wilson also did a good job stepping in as center. Ward had a very exciting 15-yard run followed by an impressive 25-yard run by Jai Case. All of the positive yardage and touchdowns gained by the Yreka Chargers could not have been accomplished without the offensive efforts of Jake Peterson, Earl Croy Jr., Travis Hedin and Arwood. Arwood was an essential blocker by constantly driving the opponent down the field and opening up holes. (more…)

The Siskiyou Knights traveled to Willows on Saturday to take on the Coyotes. The first two games were in the morning where fans were treated to football played by six through nine year olds.

Both sides held each other scoreless throughout most of the game and you knew it was going to come down to the end. The Knights fell short 6-0 when Willows scored the only points of the game with 1:10 left to play. (more…)
