Nick Shadle and sixth-ranked Puyallup's defense are proving to be quite a combination.

Shadle, a senior tailback, rushed for 219 yards and three touchdowns on 20 carries and the Vikings beat Federal Way 34-0 last night in a South Puget Sound League South Division game at Sparks Stadium in Puyallup.

Puyallup's defense recorded its second shutout in the past three games and allowed the Eagles (3-2, 3-2) to gain just 144 yards a week after the Vikings beat then-No. 2-ranked Curtis 23-14.

The Vikings (5-0, 5-0) recovered three Federal Way fumbles and intercepted two passes.

Senior Tyler Rickerson scored two touchdowns for Puyallup, one on a 28-yard pass from senior quarterback Ryan Graves and the other on a 59-yard fumble return.

The 5-foot-8, 155-pound Shadle has scored 10 TDs this season and is averaging 172 rushing yards for Puyallup, which sits alone in first atop the South standings.
