LACEY – The best back in the nation? Best in state history? Timberline’s Jonathan Stewart may be all these things, but without a doubt he was the best football player the Prosser Mustangs faced this season. Stewart, the state’s career rushing leader, bulldozed the second‐ranked Mustangs for 293 yards and four touchdowns on 20 carries as No. 6 Timberline held on for a 42‐35 victory in yesterday’s 3A state playoffs at South Sound Stadium. “We had guys there doing the best they could, but ﴾Stewart﴿ just bounced off them and made big plays,” Prosser coach Tom Moore said. “We had a hard time stopping him. There are not many people like him in the nation.” Stewart now has 7,637 yards for his career and 25 rushing touchdowns this season. The Blazers ﴾10‐1﴿ will host a quarterfinal match up next weekend against the Bellevue/Franklin Pierce winner. Timberline is eager to avenge a 21‐14 loss to Bellevue in last year’s playoffs, in fact, there is nobody else Stewart says he would rather play. “I don’t like it, but our kids have been looking forward to a rematch with Bellevue,” Timberline coach Kevin Young said. “To see if we have gotten better like they have.” So as Prosser ﴾11‐1﴿ rallied to erase a 14‐point deficit less than a minute into the third quarter, Young had to ask his team how bad they wanted that rematch. “It was a heck of a game last year and they didn’t want to let the rematch slip away,” he said. “It kind of fired them up again.” And Stewart – who battled a stiff lower back since the second quarter ‐‐ went to work, capping an 11‐play, 54‐yard drive with a 1‐yard run to put the Blazers back in front on the first play of the fourth quarter.
