PULLMAN — Evan Strong carried 12 times for 102 yards and three touchdowns Friday as Pullman beat Black Hills of Tumwater, Wash., 42-6 in a nonleague game, avenging a loss to that team last season.
Older brother Isaiah Strong had six catches for 137 yards and one touchdown for Pullman (3-1).
“I thought they both really stepped up and made big plays for us on offense and defense,” Pullman coach David Cofer said of the Strong brothers. “I just thought they were really good tonight.
“I kind of told our guys this is going to be a defining team for us one way or the other coming off the loss to Moscow last week. We had a great week of preparation; I thought our practice was at a whole nother level. I thought our guys played a good black hills team and took care of business.”

Kamiah 26, Troy 22
KAMIAH — Landon Keen plunged in from 4 yards away with just under two minutes remaining, and Kamiah’s defense held on fourth down to claim a Whitepine League Division I victory against Troy.
The Kubs (3-2, 1-1) set a slight edge with a rushing game that had Willis Williamson go for 186 yards and a score, and Gabe Eades for 102 and another touchdown. Eades’ first score was a 15-yard reception from Trent Taylor in the first.
Eades also grabbed two interceptions and Easton Lezcano tallied a pair of sacks.
Kamiah led 12-0 at the half, but missed out on a few scoring opportunities, coach Nels Kludt noted. That was before the Trojans (2-2, 0-2) “stole the momentum right back” with a couple of long runs, one to open the second half.
Late in the fourth, Troy swiped the lead, and clung to a two-point edge before Keen’s dagger.
“We made a couple of key stops, then drove it down and finally punched it in,” Kludt said. “It was back-and-forth, pretty even.”

Colton 26, SJEL 22
ST. JOHN, Wash. — Chris Wolf ran for three touchdowns and threw for another as Colton rallied from an early deficit to beat St. John-Endicott/Lacrosse in a Southeast 1B League game.
The Wildcats (2-2, 2-1) trailed 14-8 after the first quarter but took a 20-14 lead by halftime. Colton held SJEL scoreless from the start of the second quarter until late in the fourth.
“He kind of had to gut it out,” coach Jim Moehrle said of Wolf. “He had bruised ribs in the first half, so he played a really good game; he stuck it out.”
Wolf’s three rushing touchdowns came in the first half before he completed a scoring pass to Jaxon Moehrle in the fourth. The win avenged a 48-26 defeat to SJEL earlier this month.
“The biggest improvement from the first time we played them was our defense,” Moehrle said. “Our defense was great tonight — some of the best defense we’ve played all year.”
