Moscow's football team secured a 24-6 nonleague victory over Clarkston on Friday at Adams Field in Clarkston. The Bears, now 1-2 on the season, overcame an early 4-point deficit by scoring 18 points in 71 seconds during the third quarter. Quarterback Keaton Frei recorded 135 rushing yards and 78 passing yards, while kicker Austin Mallet contributed a touchdown and a key kickoff recovery that led to another score.
Head coach Dwight Tardy noted the team's improved unity after a 55-0 season-opening loss, stating, "Unity. Guys are just believing." The Bears' defense held Clarkston to just six points, marking a significant turnaround for the team. Moscow's next game is a nonleague matchup against another opponent, with their first regular-season game scheduled for next week.
Pullman Greyhounds also won their season opener, defeating Eisenhower 14-6 at home. The Greyhounds' first touchdown came in the red zone, though specific details on the scoring play were not fully provided in the report.
