Now, if the stat keepers could just move as fast as Dawson Houston.
The former Coupeville High School quarterback lit up the sky Saturday, throwing for a pair of touchdowns to help spark the Everett Royals to a 50-22 thumping of the Seattle Seminoles.
While it took four days for the semi-pro football franchise to post complete stats — not that any Whidbey-based bloggers were counting the hours (close to 100…) — Houston was impeccable in the moment.
The victory, coming in Everett’s home finale, lifts the squad to 4-1.
The Royals, who also feature former CHS gridiron coach Kwamane Bowens on defense, sit atop the Impact Conference East standings in the Gridiron Developmental Football League.
Houston, getting his most playing time of the season, sliced up the Seminole defense, completing 9-15 passes for 94 yards.
Bowens was his usual explosive self on defense, as well, adding five tackles and an interception.
The former D-I player, who now coaches at Anacortes High School, has 33 tackles, two interceptions, and a fumble recovery on the season.
The Royals get back at it Saturday, hitting the road to face the Spokane Wolfpack.
