SBLive’s Top 10 plays of Week 4

10. With the game still hanging in the balance for Kennewick, it was Dane McClure who came up with game-sealing interception in the final minute to put away MCC rival Kamiakin..

9. Looking to air it out, Camas got exactly what it was looking for with Trenton Swanson catching a pass just before midfield and doing the rest himself for a 79-yard touchdown.

8. In a mild upset, Aberdeen got a big play from its special-teams unit on a blocked punt early against Prosser. Nolan Clark scooped up the loose ball and took it in for the touchdown.

7. Gutsy? You betcha. With the game on the line, Lynden decided to go for the win on a two-point conversion with no time remaining. It paid off with Brant Heppner and Daniel Bowler connecting for the win over Sedro-Woolley. (Video by Randy Small)

6. Against Oregon powerhouse West Linn, Lake Stevens was going to get into the end zone one way or another on this play as David Brown pulled away from the defender on this 37-yard scoring reception.

5. With a win over city rival Lincoln, Mount Tahoma football has officially turned things around. But it took recovering an onside kick - and Tre Walker's 14-yard touchdown strike to Anthony Quintanilla in final minute to do so.

4. Watch out for Hudson's Bay. After a win over Ridgefield last week, the Eagles are all by themselves atop the 2A GSHL - and Rafael Bauman's kickoff return for a touchdown stood out big in the win. (Video by Tim Martinez/The Columbian)

3. Just about everything went right for Eastside Catholic against Lincoln of Seattle, including Asa Thompson's huge game that included a 78-yard receiving touchdown and 65-yard kickoff return for a score.

2. Well, that's one way to flip the field. With Decatur marching in to score, Kennedy Catholic's Joey Thomas III picked off the pass at the goal-line and took it back 99 yards for a touchdown.

1. In Curtis' biggest game of the season, Parker Mady produced highlight-reel plays all game - none better than this escape-job 75-yard punt return in the second half to help upend Emerald Ridge.
