Caleb Crim and Kole Olinger scored two touchdowns apiece to lead the Fruitland Grizzlies to the 51-7 win over 4A division Emmett Friday in nonleague football action in Emmett.
The Grizzlies scored the first 30 points of the game and Crim kicked things off with 31-yard run and a 22-yard interception return for a touchdown.
After the defense forced a safety, Olinger chipped in a 35-yard run Nate Bake followed with a 15-yard touchdown catch and the Grizzlies were way out in front 30-7 at the break.
The Grizzlies amassed 409 yards on the ground, 495 total yards and the stingy Grizzly defense held Emmett to 134 total yards.
The Grizzlies added a 15-yard touchdown catch by Micah McMurry, a 10-yard run by Olinger and a 14-yard scamper by Zack Fabricius.
Olinger led the ground game with 10 carries for 93 yards and Nawahine went 6-of-12 for 86 yards and a pair of scores.
“We found some things out about the offensive line,” Fruitland head coach Bruce Schlaich said. “They did some good things. It was just another step to improvement. That’s what we’re looking for we’re a team and we’re gonna win as a team. A lot of people contributed.”
Fruitland (1-0 overall) next hosts 4A powerhouse La Grande Friday.

Weiser
The Weiser football team scored the first 13 points of the game and never looked back as the Wolverines throttled Baker City 41-13 Friday in nonleague prep football action in Weiser.
Senior running back Jacob Scharbrough ran for 156 yards and a touchdown to lead the Weiser ground attack, which piled up 294 yards rushing. Trent Winegar added 52 yards rushing and Ethan Kohl and Gavin Eisenbarth added 25 yards apiece. Eisenbarth also completed 8-of-17 passes for 115 yards and a touchdown.
“We scored in bunches,” Wolverines head coach John Srholec said. “It was an outstanding defensive effort.”
The defense held Baker City to just 191 total yards, and only 35 on the ground.
I’m obviously happy with where our defense is at at this point,” Srholec added. “(Offensively) we were a little sporadic.”
Weiser (2-0) continues nonleague play Friday as the Wolverines travel to Vale.
“Vale with that huge group of seniors and experience will be quite a test,” Srholec said.

Council
The Council football team needed only 31 minutes to prove its point.
And they did so in a big way.
The defending 1A state champions four touchdowns from Bo Green and posted 431 yards of offense in a 59-12 beatdown of Timberline Friday at Lumberjack Field in Council.
The Lumberjacks got things started with four touchdowns in the first quarter, started by Bo Green’s 38-yard touchdown reception from Keith Heil. Jesse Green added a 15-yard run, Curt Clagg added a 44-yard touchdown reception and Bo Green capped the scoring with a 1-yard plunge.
In the second quarter, Bo Green added a 4-yard run and an 18-yard run sandwiched between a 41-yard reception by Jesse Green and the Lumberjacks enjoyed a 50-12 halftime lead.
Clagg put the icing on the Lumberjack cake with a 42-yard field goal and freshman Randy Nichols added a 9-yarder with 5:02 left which invoked the mercy rule.
The Lumberjacks were led on the ground by Bubba Zielinski, who had 10 carries for 74 yards. Heil went 8-of-10 for 218 yards and his favorite target was Jesse Green, who had three catches for 103 yards.
“The guys were playing really well this week,” Council head coach Dan Shumway said. Council (2-0 overall) next opens league play at Rimrock.
