1A State Tournament

Mount Baker 36, Hoquiam 21

The Hoquiam Grizzlies had its issues against a stout Mount Baker defense in a 36-21 loss in the first round of the 1A State Football Tournament on Saturday in Bellingham.

Hoquiam (7-4 overall) fell behind 6-0 in the first quarter after Mountaineers quarterback Mason Jacoby scored on a 1-yard run.

Later in the first, Jacoby threw a screen pass to wide receiver Ayden Rodriguez, who ran it in from 22-yards out to give Mt. Baker (10-1) a 13-0 lead.

The Grizzlies fell behind 20-0 when running back Jason Lee scored on a 1-yard run at the 6:12 mark of the second quarter.

Hoquiam showed some signs of life in the final minute of the first half when quarterback Dane McMillan hit wide receiver Cameron Bumstead with a 40-yard touchdown pass to cut into the Mountaineers lead at 20-7.

But just before the end of the half, Mount Baker scored on a 23-yard field goal by Miguel Zavala, giving the Mountaineers a 23-7 lead at the break.

That was as close as Hoquiam would get as the Grizzlies were shut out in the third quarter and saw Mount Baker take a 30-7 lead on a Lee TD-run of eight yards.

Mt. Baker put the game out of reach in the fourth quarter when running back Toby Jefferson capped a drive with a 16-yard run, extending the lead to 36-7.

After Mount Baker rested its starters and cleared its bench, Hoquiam closed the gap with two scores in the final minutes of the game.

Bumstead scored on a 2-yard run with 1:15 left and the Grizzlies recovered the subsequent onside kick.

A few plays later, Bumstead scored his third touchdown of the game on a 1-yard run with 42 seconds remaining, rounding out the scoring at 36-21.
