Newport running game too much for Asotin

ASOTIN – Five games into the season, the Newport Grizzly football team remains undefeated after a 58-21 win at Asotin Friday, Oct. 3.

“Offensively our line is doing a great job and our backs run hard, so it makes for a strong run game,” Newport coach Mark Duxbury says. Defensively, the Grizzlies gave up too many big plays, he says. “On the other hand, defense came up big when we needed them. Two interceptions, causing and recovering the fumble, and putting pressure on Asotin’s quarterback all night helped seal the victory.”
