18U Wolves Rec Soccer Team Advances to State Semi-Finals

Vancouver — The Camas-Washougal Soccer Club’s 18U Wolves team beat Centralia’s Timbers 3-2 in double overtime on Sunday, advancing the newly-reunited team to the State semi-finals in Tukwila, WA next week.

The intense game was scoreless until the second half when Brooks Burns made the match’s first goal. Centralia tied it up soon after. Marshall Braten scored the second goal, and then a controversial PK gave tied up the match.

Near the end of the second OT, forward Ben Klave scored the winning goal, advancing the team to semi-finals next Saturday.

The Wolves, formerly known as the Cheetahs, reunited this past August to compete one last season before they graduate next June. Coached by Wayne Svilar, the boys played for many years (most since they were six years old) as a recreational team — until they disbanded three seasons ago.

“We made the team to close out our last season to all play on the same team so it is kinda neat to play with all the guys for the last season,” said team member, Josh Harimoto.

Papermakers Rock. Reason #4. Matt Thomas.

A couple of games ago, Camas had the help of two new ball boys. Camas senior, Matt Thomas, spent time during the game to help these guys out and explain some things to them. We call that CHARACTER. Well done, Matt.

Papermakers Rock. Reason #1: The Players

We’ve been covering Camas for several years, and when you get right down to it, these kids are great! Personally, I’ve had the privilege of watching so many of them grow up in Camas. We’ve seen them in kindergarten, Little League, Pop Warner, CCYF, scouts, school, church, and they’re quickly becoming adults. These boys turned into classy young men. Go Camas!

We encourage you all to list reasons why the Papermakers rock. More pictures and videos coming.

The Papermakers (4-0, 1-0 4A GSHL) were prepared defensively and have been working hard at practice.

Papermaker running back Brian Kelly ran 187 yards and had two touchdowns on 11 carries. Running back Cole Zarcone carried five times for 83 yards and scored a touchdown on a 53-yard run. It was impressive.
