Cameron Buzzell was a huge part of the Neah Bay Red Devils winning the 1B state football championship Saturday against Odessa-Harrington.
With star quarterback Rwehabura Munyagi Jr. nursing a hurt shoulder, Buzzell took over with a spectacular game in the Tacoma Dome.
Buzzell had 168 yards rushing and scored touchdowns on runs of 53, 30 and 63 yards. He also added a 59-yard TD reception, a 32-yard pass and for good measure even had a 92-yard intereception return.
In the 1B semifinal game against Lummi last week, Buzzell also had a spectacular diving 45-yard catch, a touchdown and he made a critical play on defense, causing a fumble at the goal line.
