Shockers Back on Winning Track with 28-3 Win

April 12, 2008 Lacey, WA 

The Shockers bounced back from their first regular season loss in 3 years downing the Okanogan Commandos 28-3 in Lacey.  The Commandos ironically, were the first team to hand the Shockers a regular season loss back in 2005 halting South Sounds' inaugural 3 game winning streak.

The Commandos capitalized on Shocker miscues kicking an early field goal and holding a 3-0 lead at halftime.  South Sound came out after the half with 100-yard rushing performance by Rory Lee and TD before Jacob Hicks found his arm hitting Jameson Gstohl and Avery Brown for 4th quarter scores.  WR Ryan Kimbrough broke an ankle on a first quarter punt return, further depleting a receiving corps that was missing Bobby Poeltl (ribs), Bryan Hooper (family matters) and Eugene Mirador (military deployment).  Gstohl, Reis and Minnis stepped up to take over the receiving duties and give Hicks reliable targets.

Defensively Ron Strozyk and Nate Enciso continued to lead, while tackles Antonie Reeves and David Alefosio continued to improve.  Robb Stanton recovered a fumble seeing increased action on the defensive line.
