The Chitwhins improved to 4-0 in league contests, and 5-2 overall in com- pleting the league slate undefeated. Dylan James tossed a pair of touch- down passes to Tom Anderson for Taholah, which raced to a 36-12 lead at halftime. Sophomore Austin Friese did a little bit of everything on offense for Mary M. Knight (0-4, 0-6-1). He caught two passes for 78 yards, including a 55-yard touchdown heave from sophomore quar- terback Jason Shaw. Friese also ran for 56 yards on four carries and was 4-for-ll passing for 33 yards. Quentin Narrance added a 5-yard rushing touchdown for the Knight Owls and Shaw finished 7-for-21 through the air for 83 yards. Mary M. Knight will travel for a state 1B playoff pigtail contest at Quilcene at 1 p.m. Saturday.
