Parmalee leads the way fro North Valley WINSTON - Douglas supplied the home hospitality and Cole Parmalee and crew did the rest for North Valley as the Knights posted a non-conference football win Friday night. Douglas turned the ball over six times, with Ken Hiler intercepting two passes for the Knights, as North Valley held the Trojans to 98 yards rushing and 78 through the air. North Valley countered with 191 yards on the ground and 58 through the air. "Our defense played exceptionally well," said North Valley coach John George. Colin Beard staked North Valley (2-0) to an early lead with a 5-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Cole Parmalee added a 39-yard TD reception from quarterback Tim Cunha to make it 14-0 heading into the second quarter. After an Ariah Nead 4-yard score made it 21-0, Parmalee burst Douglas' balloon when he opened the second half with a 90-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Parmalee finished the game with three receptions for 58 yards, while Beard rushed 10 times for 131 yards for the Knights. North Valley will open Skyline Conference play next Friday with a road game against Illinois Valley.

The Pirates (1-2) had taken a 28-14 third-quarter lead behind the rushing of senior tailback Eric Kessler, who picked up 127 yards on 25 carries. The Lancers countered with senior tailback Dave McElmurry, who scored four touchdowns and compiled 206 yards on 25 rushes. With about a minute to play, McElmurry went 49 yards with a pass from Zack Falk, then booted his fourth extra point to tie it at 28-28. Phoenix quickly drove down the field, largely on the strength of a long connection between senior quarterback Ross Ellis and senior receiver Floron McGee. But then Ratford rushed in untouched on the Pirates' field goal attempt, stole the ball from Phoenix's holder and used a convoy of blockers and a broken tackle at midfield to win it for South Umpqua.
