I SHELTON'S MIKE PAVEL wasn't the most popular man on the field Friday night with R.A. Long's offensive team Friday night. As these four pictures show, Pavel (81) was in the Lumberjacks' backfield almost as often as its ballcarriers. Shelton's gridders whomped on another opponent Friday night, but they had to stage another second half comeback to beat the R.A. Long Lumber- jacks in Longview, 21-9. The Highclimbers were down 9-6 at the end of the first half before they started dom- inating the action. They scored two touchdowns and a safety in the second half while holding the hosts scoreless to nab their third nonleague win of the 1975 campaign. Sheiton won its 13th game in a row and starts to defend its Black Hills League champion- ship against Capital High School in Olympia Friday night. R. A. Long marched from its own 39 into the Shelton endzone the second time it'got the ball. The Lumberjacks had received the opening kickoff and punted to the Climbers, who couldn't get an offensive drive going, either. That drive was a time- consuming 15-play job that extended from early in the first period to early in the second quarter. Only two of the gains in the drive were over six yards as the Lumberjacks used a grind-it-out running game against the Climbers' tough defense. The Lumberjacks' td came on a one-yard run on the second play of the second period. The kick was good, and the defending state AA champs 'were down 7-0. The R. A. Long players were psyched after scoring on the vaunted Climber D, but the next play took some of the starch out of them. Little Joe Schab, 140 pounds of jet engines, took the RAL kickoff deep in his own territory and sped through the Lumber- jacks' defense for a touchdown. A couple of nice blocks sprang the youngster loose on his way up the right sideline, and once he got past the defenders, they couldn't catch him. His 4.6 time in the 40 is the fastest clocking for a Shelton player in modern history. Jim Kieburtz's extra point attempt was wide, and Shelton trailed 7-6. The Lumberjacks got the kickoff and immediately began to move the ball on another drive. They started from their 32 and earned two first downs before defensive halfback SAM MARTIN, Shelton fullback, adds some yardage to his 71-yard total during Friday night's game with R.A. Long. rushing yardage after two games, who had blood poisoning in an arm; Dan Fitchitt, a junior who started at both tight end and defensive end, who was sick in bed all week; and senior Matt Wilson, the Climbers' starting guard, who was out with a sprained ankle. The Climbers went to work almost immediately in the third quarter to get some points on the board. On the fifth play of the quarter, Shelton's Chris McGee threw an interception that an RAL back caught at his own one yard line. But just as Shelton's goal line stand had resulted in points lost, the interception did, too. Wayne ..Devaney, Shelton defensive tackle, caught a Lumberjack runner in his own endzone on second down and it was a 9-8 ballgame. When R. A. Long kicked off to the Climbrs after the safety, Shelton marched 40 yards for a score in 11 plays to take a lead it never lost. The free kick, from the 20, went out of bounds and was returned to the RAL 40. Fullback Martin, halfback JOE SCHAB hustles his 140 pounds toward the R.A. Long endzone during an 87-yard kickoff return for a touchdown Friday night. Schab !ntercepted a pass at Shelton s 11 yard line.
