Description
The gateway to Mount Rainier may seem quiet, but the city of Yelm is buzzing with pride.
In the state semifinals, Yelm High School's football team scored the game-winning touchdown with just 35 seconds to play.
The top-ranked Tornados will now play for the 3A state title.
"It's nothing no one around here has seen before, ever, and I'm truly blessed to be a part of it," said Yelm offensive lineman Landen Barger.
"It means absolutely everything to me, I've been working with these boys my entire life, I mean, it's the world to me," said Yelm running back and linebacker Ray Wright.
"It's an important milestone, everyone is happy, we've worked so hard to get to this point, it's great to see our dreams come to reality, it's good for the community, it gives people something to do and look forward too," said wide receiver and defensive back Kyler Ronquillo.
Ronquillo, a Portland State commit, has been around Yelm football for a while. His dad has been the head coach for a decade.
"I come home from the game on Saturday and I'm ear to ear smiling, this town is really coming together for these kids, it's been a lot of fun," said head coach Jason Ronquillo.
Junior Brayden Platt is a big reason why, as he is both one of the nation's top linebackers and one of the best running backs on the west coast.
He rushed for over 20 touchdowns this season and is arguably the top two-way prospect in the state. The All-American Bowl selection has offers from Michigan, Washington, and Oregon, among others. He also has three older brothers that played for Yelm.
