FOOTBALL
Class 1A
Orting 38, Lynden Christian 7: Grant Angle rushed for three touchdowns and Braden Cortes ran for two, leading the Cardinals to the win over Lynden Christian at Sunset Chev Stadium in Sumner in the state play-in game.
Orting (10-1) will play Castle Rock (8-2) at 1 p.m. Saturday at Kalama.
The Cardinals rolled up 415 yards of total offense, led by Angle's 175 rushing yards.
Vashon 22, Meridian 21: The Pirates erased a 21-point first-quarter deficit, securing their first trip to the state playoffs.
“Heart is what this team is all about,” Vashon coach Clay Eastly said. “It’s all heart.”
Quinn Holert’s 28-yard touchdown pass to Andy Didricksen in the fourth quarter gave the Pirates (6-4) their first lead.
Meridian quarterback Zach Slesk got the Trojans (5-5) off to a fast start, throwing three touchdown passes to Mitchell Tripp. The Pirates eventually found a way to pressure Slesk, ruining Meridian’s rhythm.
“We felt we could get after their quarterback with our line and put pressure on them,” Eastly said. “We did that and got him moving around a lot…he didn’t have time to sit back there and pick us apart.”
Vashon’s Nathan Betz rushed for 174 yards on 37 carries. The Pirates did not turn the ball over, while the Trojans were intercepted twice and fumbled once.
Vashon will play at No. 3 Montesano (10-0) at 7 p.m. Saturday at Tumwater in the first round of the 1A state playoffs.

Some leagues have yet to meet to determine their all-league teams. We'll post them as we get them.
