CAMAS — The game was still a game.
Until the ball came Addison Owen’s way.
Owen intercepted a pass and returned it 63 yards to the end zone, and all the momentum was back on Camas’ side Friday night at Doc Harris Stadium.
Logan Grindy threw three touchdown passes, and the Camas defense used a bend-but-not-break strategy to beat Skyview 28-12 in a game between two state-ranked teams — the only teams from Clark County in the rankings.
“We gotta run Clark County this year,” Owen said. “That’s the goal.”
So far, so good. The Papermakers improved to 4-0 — including three wins against county schools — and they should solidify their No. 3 ranking in Class 3A by The Associated Press after beating the No. 8 team in the 4A poll.
The Papermakers did it with a mix of offense in the first half, and an opportunistic defense throughout the game.
