That's the trick."

Camas girls soccer team heads to the 4A Final Four

A shootout loss knocked the Camas girls soccer team out of the state tournament last season. When backed into a similar situation Saturday, the Papermakers earned redemption. Camas defeated Mead 3-1 on penalty kicks in the state quarterfinals Saturday, at Doc Harris Stadium. The win gives the Papermakers a golden opportunity to play in the Final Four. "Not very many people thought we could make it this far our first year in 4A, but we're in the semifinals. That shows how much heart we all have," said senior captain Jamie Carter. "I'm really excited to be going to the Final Four with such a great group of girls. It definitely makes senior year memorable."

These 12 girls together are such a close knit group. Making those memories at state and bringing home hardware was very important. Especially for the seniors."

Papermakers host Arlington Saturday in first round of state

The Camas football team is in its first 4A state tournament after a convincing 43-12 victory against South Kitsap Friday, at Doc Harris Stadium. Nate Beasley rushed for 178 yards and scored three touchdowns. His first trip to the end zone came on a 33-yard run following an interception by Zach Eagle. "It's do or die now. From that first play on, I just had a different mentality," Beasley said. "We're driving on the road built by the guys who played here before us, while at the same time creating our own path for future classes to follow. And we're doing all of this in 4A."

The Camas girls cross country runners could see for miles at the top of the mountain. The largest classification in the state proved to be an easier obstacle for the Papermakers to climb. And for the second year in a row, they stood on the podium as state champions. "We remember what happened last year, and all the hard work it took to get here, and we just worked harder," said senior captain Megan Napier. "We all have quotes written on our legs. Mine says, 'I run because I can and for those who can not.' It reminds me that I am running for Camas and everybody who has been a part of this program."

As he crested that last hill in the state championship race, Sean Eustis saw his destiny. There were two tuckered out runners lagging to the finish line, but the Washougal High School senior had more to prove to himself, his coaches and his teammates than just sixth place. "Border Clash is top five. That's where I wanted to go," Eustis said. "In my mind, I kept thinking 'Border Clash, Border Clash, Border Clash' with each step."
