Lathrop High players high-five fans after the football game against Soldotna High at Service High School in Anchorage on Saturday, Oct. 15, 2022. Lathrop won the 2022 Alaska DII football championship, defeating Soldotna 21-18.
Both teams came into the game with undefeated records as the clear cream of the crop at their level of competition. Soldotna had the lead for most of the first half and was threatening to extend its lead to double figures just before halftime but was thwarted by both Lathrop’s defense at the one-yard line and an expiring clock.The Stars had wasted a timeout, essentially icing their own placekicker before he missed the extra point attempt on their first touchdown drive of the game in the first quarter.
Balash called a timeout to talk about it after the Malemutes unsuccessfully tried to get the Stars’ defense to jump offsides. He briefly pondered just playing conservative and punting the ball instead of risking giving the ball back to their opponents with great field position. Their other quarterback, Solomon Wade, came back in to finish the drive by throwing a nine-yard touchdown to star senior receiver Earl Parker three plays later for the go-ahead score.
Each team would tack on another touchdown to their final total but the Malamutes came up with just enough stops on defense in the second half to hold the Stars offense at bay.
