Webster breaks more records, Trojans win to advance to state
Published 1:30 am Saturday, November 8, 2025
It was a joyous night all around for the Olympic Trojans, as standout senior running back Chace Webster had another monster performance, rushing for 331 yards and scoring four touchdowns in a 27-14 win over Chief Sealth at home Nov. 7 to open the 2A playoffs.
The win moves the Trojans, who went 9-1 on the season and finished first in the Olympic League, into the opening round of the state tournament. Olympic is the No. 16 seed and will face No. 1 seed Archbishop Murphy 2 p.m. Nov. 15 at Goddard Stadium in Everett.
In the game, Webster broke the West Sound record for rushing touchdowns in a season with 38. He also surpassed 2,000 rushing yards on the season, becoming only the second player to accomplish that feat in West Sound history. Ryan Cole of South Kitsap did it in back-to-back seasons in 2000 and 2001. Webster currently has 2,259 yards on the season and needs 143 yards to break Cole’s record of 2,401 yards.
In other 2A action, North Kitsap’s football season ended in heartbreak as the Vikings were shut out 40-0 at home Nov. 7 in the opening round of the playoffs.
NK finished the season 7-4 overall and finished second place in the OL at 5-1.
“Our offense just couldn’t really get any momentum going,” NK wide receivers coach Peter Blue said. “We couldn’t really accomplish, you know, some of what we prepared to do.”
Viking quarterback Teague Weible threw an interception on the first offensive play, spelling disaster for NK for the remainder of the game. Burlington-Edison was able to drive down on the short field and score a touchdown.
NK defensive back Eli Schlosser forced a fumble with 1:37 remaining in the first quarter. However, NK’s offense continued to struggle to get anything going, keeping the score of the game 7-0 at the end of the first.
The Viking defense also struggled in the beginning of the second quarter with the Tigers driving down field to kick a field goal and then letting up another touchdown, increasing the lead to 17-0 with 4:20 remaining in the half.
“[Coach was telling us at halftime] to keep that brotherhood,” Viking running back Towsyn Walsh said. “That’s the biggest thing in our team, we got to stick together.”
The Vikings generated their best drive of the game on the second drive out of halftime, with Weible and company driving down the field searching for their first score. Nonetheless, the drive fizzled out, with NK eventually turning the ball over on downs.
The NK defense continued to struggle to stop Burlington-Edison, letting up a 33-yard run at the beginning of the fourth quarter to get the Tigers to the Viking 12-yard line. The Tigers scored another touchdown, extending the lead to 26-0.
Burlington-Edison added two more touchdowns by the end of the game.
“It was a tough night,” Blue said. “Burlington-Edison, obviously, they came in well-prepared. They come from a really tough league, and you can tell they’ve got to go up against some of the best schools in the state.”
Bremerton also lost its opening round playoff game on the road against Lynden 40-14 Nov. 7 to end their season.
