Continuing to wreak havoc on defense, Hannah Stark and Payton Rogers each generated nine tackles.

Displaying their offensive firepower against Civica, Jenas-Keogh rushed for 76 yards and three touchdowns, while catching seven passes for 75 yards.

An all-around threat offensively, Jenas-Keogh completed 7 of 9 passing for 52 yards.

Moving the ball through the air with ease, Hess completed 14 of 16 passing for 120 yards and a touchdown, while Rhiley Beck completed 5 of 6 passes for 51 yards and a touchdown.

Shining offensively, Shasta Ryan-Willett caught five passes for 79 yards and a score, while rushing for 45 yards and a touchdown on eight carries.

Two more future officers will be attending the police academy next month. The new officers help fill vacancies left by retiring officers or those who have moved onto other agencies.

Last week, the Christian Center Church hosted four showings of Garden to Grave: Live Stations of the Cross. Pastor Deborah Downs said the Stations of the Cross “are a contemplative practice of walking the way of suffering with Jesus. If one were to visit the city of Jerusalem, they would discover all 14 stations on what is called the Via Dolorosa – The Sorrowful Way – a path from Pilate’s court to Golgotha to the tomb.”
