Ridin’ high: Colts still have Millers’ number

By Pierre Weil / [email protected]

BOB WILLIAMS / THE CHRONICLE. Thurston wide receiver Walker Bonar (16) celebrates a late touchdown with offensive lineman Brando Lopez. Bonar had 6 catches for 93 yards and a touchdown in Thurston’s 34-13 win over rival Springfield – Thurston’s eighth-straight win in the crosstown rivalry.

SPRINGFIELD – There was lots of talk coming into the season that the annual crosstown rivalry football game between the Springfield Millers and Thurston Colts was going to go differently than the recent history of the game. Someone forgot to tell the Colts, who waltzed into Springfield’s Silke Field and won 34-13 after trailing 7-6 at halftime — winning their eighth straight in the rivalry matchup and keeping the golden football trophy at Thurston for another year.

“It’s just always special to win this game, and to keep that trophy in East Springfield. Just means a lot, so I’m happy for the kids and for our community,” Thurston coach Justin Starck said. “We figured they’d try to run the ball as much as they could, and we challenged our defense to step up and get some stops. And they did. And then Noah (Blair) and the receivers did a phenomenal job. Ethan Burkhead did a great job running too, scrambling around. Just a gutsy performance for all the kids.”

Lets keep in touch…
