Westview shut out West Salem 14-0 on Friday, Sept. 25, earning its second straight win and evening its record at 2-2 heading into Metro League play.

Wildcats quarterback Hank Whitworth produced through the air and on the ground. He threw for 160 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 66 yards and another score on nine carries, according to MaxPreps. The West Salem game marked Whitworth's third consecutive game with at least one rushing touchdown.

Receiver Tahkai Smith was his top target, hauling in 126 receiving yards and a touchdown.

The shutout capped a turnaround for head coach Dan Weaver's squad. Westview opened the season with lopsided losses to Grants Pass (28-7 on Sept. 4) and West Linn (48-16 on Sept. 11) before rattling off back-to-back wins over Glencoe (24-21) and now West Salem.

Sunset routed by Sherwood

Sunset had no such luck.

The Apollos were overwhelmed 45-0 by Sherwood, dropping to 1-3 on the season. Sherwood controlled the game from the start, building a 38-0 lead by the end of the third quarter, according to MaxPreps. Bowmen quarterback Kai Boatsman threw for 207 yards and three touchdowns on just 18 passes. Receiver Mikey Brandt caught all three scores and racked up 141 yards.

Sherwood's defense sacked Sunset's quarterback five times. Cole Carkin, Nathanael Fagan, Evan Karl, Gabe Lacey and Levi Klostreich each recorded one.

According to MaxPreps, the loss extended Sunset's home losing streak to five games, stretching back to last season. Sunset's lone win this year came Sept. 18, a 45-44 victory over Liberty. The Apollos opened the season with a one-point loss to Roosevelt, 22-21, on Sept. 4 before falling 42-0 to Tigard the following week.
