Skyview High School celebrated a historic win on Friday night, snapping a 15‑year streak of losses to rival Camas High School. The Storm defeated the Papermakers 38‑21 at Kiggins Bowl, a result that has energized the school and its supporters.
Key Plays and Player Highlights
Junior wide receiver Adarius Sparrow was the star of the game, catching three touchdown passes, including two in the fourth quarter that sealed the victory. “We wanted to prove it could be done,” Sparrow said after the game, reflecting the determination that drove the team.
Senior linebacker Torin Baker, who also plays three high school sports, noted the significance of the win: “It means the world. It’s a crazy feeling to be the team that finally beats Camas.” Quarterback Julian Logue connected with Sparrow on a 76‑yard strike that sparked the final surge, and the duo added another long touchdown later in the quarter.

With the win, Skyview improves to 3‑0 overall this season, positioning the Storm for a strong run toward the state playoffs. From 2012 through 2025, the program recorded 13 winning seasons and 11 playoff appearances, underscoring a tradition of competitive football.
Head coach Matt Hamlin, along with longtime assistant coaches and athletic director Julian Williams, praised the team’s discipline and focus. “The defense was lights out tonight,” defensive coach Dudko said, highlighting the unit’s ability to stop Camas in crucial moments.
Community Reaction
The victory sparked celebrations among Skyview fans, though Williams reminded the crowd to stay respectful as the game concluded. The win also holds personal meaning for Sparrow, who missed the previous year’s matchup due to injury when Camas edged Skyview by three points. “I felt angry watching my brothers lose,” he recalled, adding that the triumph feels like redemption.
Local supporters gathered at the bowl to cheer the Storm, and the atmosphere reflected the deep-rooted rivalry between the two schools. The win is expected to boost morale heading into the upcoming playoff stretch.
