Face unbeaten Raiders Oct. 26

BREWSTER – The Bears varsity football team took another step closer to a shot at the Central Washington B-2B League championship with a 54-28 win over Soap Lake on Senior Night last Friday, Oct. 12.
Following a strong three-touchdown start in the first quarter Brewster allowed the Eagles to close the gap to within nine points with a TD in the final 30 seconds of the second quarter that made the halftime score 28-19.

A 20-point unanswered rally in the third quarter put the Bears all but out of reach despite a two-TD effort by Soap Lake in the final quarter.

The 4-0 Bears have just one undefeated rival, Lake Roosevelt, standing between them and the league title but Brewster will have to take its A-game on the road when they meet the Raiders in two weeks. Lake Roosevelt has been playing strong, consistent football with double-digit shutouts over league rivals Tonasket (48-0), Liberty Bell (46-0), and Oroville (47-0), and non-league opponents Okanogan (44-0), and Kettle Falls (69-0).  

It was Senior Night on Champion Field last Friday, and Brewster honored a busload of senior athletes including eight on the cheer squad, seven football standouts, five soccer stars, two cross country specialists, and a volleyball leader.

Acknowledged at halftime were cheerleaders Alondra Huerta, Lube Fabian, Irene Riggan, Giselle De La Paz, Thania Dorantes, Karina Reyes, Shakira Guzman, and Yucilen Valdez; football players Juan Garcia, Alfredo Nila, Justin Knowlton, Miguel Chacon, Ernie Nanamkin, Joe Taylor, and Jeff Sonneman; soccer players Betty Martinez, Julissa Olvera, Kim Nila, Alexia Escalera, and Alondra Torres; cross country runners John Benetiz, and Victor Abrego, and volleyball player Bizzy Stam.
