Matthews fulfills dream, commits to Montana

For Michael Matthews, one of the two defining moments of his senior year was four years in the making. The other began to manifest much, much earlier.

Matthews, a linebacker from Camas, Washington, completed two dream scenarios during his final year at Camas High: As an all-state linebacker, he helped lead the Papermakers to their first state football championship, erasing heartbreaking memories of a last-second loss in the state title game four years ago; And he joined his dream school when he committed to Montana on Nov. 10.
