The Dunsmuir Tigers football team ended the regular season with a 43-0 blowout of the Happy Camp Indians at home on Friday, to go a perfect 10-0 in the regular season, and 6-0 in league. Dunsmuir averaged 51.9 points per game on offense and allowed just 14.1 points per game on defense during the regular season.
The Tigers are seeded number-one in the North and number-one overall for the NSCIF D-VI (8-man) playoffs. Dunsmuir will host the South’s fourth-seeded Mercy Warriors on Friday at Dunsmuir City Park, starting at 6:00 pm.
Mercy (4-6) averaged 24.9 points per game this season, while allowing 33.8 points per game. Mercy’s most significant win was over South 3-seed Loyalton, 33-26, in late September.
Dunsmuir won the section championship last year in a rematch with Redding Christian, 34-15. Redding Christian put the only blemish on the Tigers 12-1 record during the 2012 regular season, with a 24-16 win in Palo Cedro.
This season, the Tigers hosted Redding Christian (6-1, 9-1) during the regular season, winning 28-20, in what was probably a championship game preview.
In Friday’s win over Happy Camp, Dayton Pepperdine rushed for 215 yards and two touchdowns on just six carries. Pepperdine also threw for a TD. Chase Sordahl also had six totes for 142 yards and a TD. CJ Palmer scored a pair of TDs and ran for 101 yards on eight carries. Tommy Stibi had a TD reception.
Defensively, Palmer was a wrecking machine, with 20 total tackles, and 16 solo take downs. Joey Campbell had 16 total tackles, and Pepperdine had 10. Randy Hix picked off a pass and had two sacks. Treyce Ashcraft recovered a fumble.
