AREA ROUNDUP
In what coach Brycen Bye called a “huge game” for quarterback Hayden Line, the Clarkston Bantams pulled away late to please the home crowd with a 54-33 nonleague football win over Omak on Friday.
The contest was knotted up at 7-7 through the opening quarter before the Bantams (2-2) asserted themselves in the second. The outcome might still have looked doubtful at 34-7 through three quarters, but Ryken Craber’s 34-yard fumble recovery score sparked a big fourth for Clarkston.
Line totaled 376 yards passing and threw for half-a-dozen touchdowns while running in another. Craber had 180 yards and three touchdowns receiving in addition to the fumble recovery.
