The Touchet Redhawks saw a lot of Walker Flynn's back going into the end zone in Pomeroy's overwhelming 66-0 win last week at Lybecker Field. Flynn, who rushed for 90 yards on five carries, scored three second-quarter touchdowns, the third starting the mercy-rule clock shortly before half time.

POMEROY––Pirate quarterback Trevin Kimble and wing back Walker Flynn crossed the goal line three times apiece while the defense held the opponent to negative offensive yards for the second week in a row in Pomeroy's 66-0 drubbing of the Touchet Redhawks here Friday, Sept. 30.
Pomeroy is 4-1 overall, 2-1 in the 1B SE 8-Man league. Next up will be Friday, Oct. 7 at Tekoa versus Tekoa-Rosalia, kick off at 3 p.m.
"Our defense was outstanding again," commented Head Coach Kyle Kimble. "Everyone contributed tonight and played very well. We held them to -44 yards on the night." Touchet fumbled four times, recovering two.
