Turnabout is certainly fair play.

And it’s even better when it comes at the start of the high school football season.

Trailing for most of the last three quarters, quarterback Riley Carrel led a last-minute drive, and Andy Holdner finished it off with a game-winning 21-yard field goal to lift Enumclaw to a 17-16 non-league victory over Wilson at Stadium Bowl on Friday night.

Fumbles and penalties marred a back-and-forth game – much like it was when the Rams pulled out a 14-13 victory in the final minutes at Enumclaw in the 2008 season opener – but the Hornets went nearly 60 yards in the final 21/2 minutes to set up Holdner’s winning kick.

And this was a kicker who might have already been in coach Don Bartel’s doghouse for missing a field goal at the end of the first half that would have given Enumclaw a 10-9 lead.

Right before the Hornets ran their final play to set up the winning kick, it was Carrel who came to the sideline and told Bartel to show a little faith in Holdner to win the game.

“Riley said, ‘Trust me, coach,’ ” Bartel said. “So we ran a play to center (the kick), and played it from there.”

Earlier in the quarter, Carrel hit Joe Cerne on an 11-yard touchdown pass to pull the Hornets to 16-14.

“On the last drive, I don’t think there was anybody who thought we were going to lose,” Bartel said.

Louis Davis had a 61-yard scoring scamper for the Rams midway through the third quarter to give them a 16-7 lead.

At Tacoma Baptist 50, Charles Wright Academy 43: The fireworks on offense came in week one for a pair of Tacoma’s small-school juggernauts. Two of Michael Springs’ three TD runs were more than 40 yards, and Chris Gladney’s 2-yarder midway through the fourth quarter gave Tacoma Baptist a 50-30 lead.
