The Orcas Vikings traveled to Fife to face the Chief Leschi Warriors in a Northwest/Seatac league game last Saturday.

“We had a goal to establish our game quickly, which we did with our first play of the game,” said head coach Scott Harris.

Orcas shocked the Warriors with a 61-yard touchdown pass from Robbie Padbury to Keenan Phalan.

“That play really set the tone for the game,” Harris said.

A few minutes later Padbury hit Phalan with a 20-yard strike and a 14-0 Viking lead. Orcas spread the scoring out with six more touchdowns as the Vikings rolled to a 54-6 victory over a hard working Warrior team that is rebuilding after a successful run in 2010.

Padbury ended his day early with 192 yards on 8-9 passing and 3 touchdowns along with a 2-yard rushing touchdown.

Devon Stanzione had 5 catches, 1 touchdown and 101 yards.

Phalan had 3 receptions for 98 yard and 2 touchdowns.

Schermerhorn was a workhorse at running back amassing 75 tough yards on 14 carries and 2 touchdowns while Jake Zier dominated on defense.

Freshman Jay Zier scored his first varsity  touchdown, bulldozing his way three yards for the score and Dan Briggs added 5 carries for 48 yards and 1 touchdown. Gage Harlow also had his first varsity reception.

“Our young guys stepped up and took advantage of the opportunity to play more minutes than usual,” Harris said.  “We are now preparing for a tough four-week stretch where every game is essentially a playoff game. We control our own destiny by winning out, starting with Seattle Lutheran on Oct. 15 at 1 p.m. for homecoming. I am expecting a huge turnout from the community to help us take this crucial step in achieving our goal.”
