YAKIMA – Coming into the season, with a starting lineup almost exclusively made up of new players, a little dropoff for defending CWAC champion East Valley could be expected.

Well, the Red Devils’ demise will have to wait.

Sophomore quarterback Liam Peterson threw for 118 yards and three touchdowns to spark a 49-14 victory against Davis in a nonleague game Friday night at Zaepfel Stadium.

Zayden Wade rushed for 160 yards and three TDs on just eight carries, Jacob Kerr ran for 130 yards.

Josh Walruff had two receptions for 40 yards and a score, and intercepted three passes, returning one of them 35 yards for a touchdown.

East Valley picked off five passes, and also recorded a safety.

Jaxon Parks rushed for a touchdown and Marley Dittentholer caught a pass from Isaiah Ontiveros for another score.
