As the members of the Skyview football team celebrated their 43-3 win over Heritage on the field Friday night at McKenzie Stadium, their thoughts were someplace else.

“The kids dedicated this game to our (former) principal, Kym Tyelyn-Carlson, who is battling pancreatic cancer,” Skyview coach Steve Kizer said. “She’s done a lot for the program. She’s done a lot for these kids. And we just wanted her to know that we were thinking of her, and we love her.”

With a blue ribbon sticker on their helmets with the letters “TC” the Storm rolled out another stellar defensive performance.

Skyview held Heritage to 171 yards of offense, 88 of which came in the fourth quarter after Skyview had built a comfortable 36-3 lead.

“I thought we played good team defense,” Kizer said. “I thought we broke off the ball well, we stuck with our assignments and everyone played hard.”

The Storm got off to a fast start, driving 62 yards on nine plays with Josh Seynaeve giving Skyview a 7-0 lead on a 1-yard touchdown run with 9:28 left in the first quarter.

Thanks to a Skyview fumble, Heritage’s offense ran off 21 of the next 22 plays, but only managed three points on a 25-yard Kyle Hood field goal.

Skyview held onto the ball on its next possession with Hayden Froeber carrying the ball five times for 46 yard. Blake Ingram capped it off with a 3-yard touchdown run as the Storm finished the first quarter with a 14-3 lead.

The Skyview defense took over in the second quarter, holding Heritage to minus-18 net yards on 15 plays. That allowed the Storm to pad their lead to 30-3 by halftime on Braden Hadfield’s juggling 33-yard TD reception, a 28-yard field by Hadfield and another Ingram touchdown run.

Brody Barnum passed for 162 yards. Hadfield had three catches for 72 yards and Jeremiah Wright had four catches for 46 yards and a TD as the Skyview offense was more efficient than statistically dazzling.

“We’ve got some things to clean up on offense, but overall it was a nice team win,” Kizer said. “And we got some contributions from the younger kids, which is nice.”

Thoughts of next week’s matchup at Kiggins Bowl against Camas could wait for a little while as the Storm enjoyed this inspirational win.

“Hey, we had a 4-0 September,” Kizer said. “We haven’t had one of those in a long time, so I’ll take it.”
