MARYSVILLE — The Clallam Bay football team ran into a buzzsaw on the road, losing 51-23 to Tulalip Heritage, in its third-ever six-man game.
“We got dominated off the line. There were a lot of miscues on our part and their lines dominated ours. It was one thing after another,” said coach Cal Ritter, who added that his team is young and learning the new sport of six-man football. It also didn’t help when one of the team’s best players gut hurt early.
“Our workhorse Clayton Willis went down early with a knee injury. Hopefully, it isn’t anything serious,” Ritter said.
The Bruins gave up three interceptions and had a number of fumbles, Ritter said.
Ritter said Ryan McCoy did have a good rushing game at fullback.
The Bruins’ (1-2) next game is Saturday at Crescent.
