It’s a shame the high school football playoffs aren’t decided by who’s playing the best all around football at season end rather than who has the most wins because Prep would probably still be playing in the high school state playoffs. G-Prep (7-3) brought their “A” game and scored three touchdowns in the first half then cruised past the Big Nine 5th seed Pasco Bulldogs 42-14.

Senior QB Bryan Karwacki led the Pups offense with his best performance of the year with 151 yards rushing on 14 carries; also Karwacki was 6-10 from the air with 101 yards. Scoring for Gonzaga in the 1st and 2nd quarter was Brian Lee with two rushing TD. Both scores came after Karwacki pitched the ball to Lee while running the option. The third TD in the first half came after David Lee blocked a Pasco punt and the ball was recovered by Luke Sicilia in the endzone. Bryan Lee finished the game with 47 yards on 7 carries.

The offense usually gets all the recognition when a team scores over 40 points in a game, but it was Prep’s defense and special teams that setup the victory. The Pups defense forced Pasco to turnover the ball on downs 4 times and caused them to throw an interception in the first half. Sophomore Charlie Griffin had two interceptions to lead Prep's defense.

In the second half the offensive line had another big game by creating some large holes for senior running backs Jeremy Condon and Taylor Fleming. Condon scored from 17 yards out and Fleming ran up the left sideline from the 25 yard line for a touchdown.

The reserve QB David Stockton made a couple impressive runs late in the 4th quarter and eventually plunged over the middle from one yard out to finish the scoring for the game and season.
