HALF-ASS HIGH-SCHOOL FOOTBALL REVIEW
South Kitsap 25, Central Kitsap 14. South jumps out to an 18-0 first-half lead and holds back CK. So let me get this straight. D-1 prospect tight end Matt Afalava walks off the team without warning, rejoins the team this week, and gets the start? No suspension?? Come on. That's almost spineless. I don't care if he's a D-1 recruit; there's gotta be rules.
North Kitsap 24, Gig Harbor 11. Guess what, kids. North is good. They weathered a 21-for-35, 227-yard, 1 TD day by GH quarterback Matt Shearer and a 8 catch, 93-yard, 1 TD day by Matt Schweitzer. North's defense was so good GH ditched the ground game to take to the air to catch up. GH had 60 ground yards.
Fife 41, Bainbridge 34. One big fat defense-free game on the island. Everyone on the island was probably filling up the Field Level and the Diamond Club at Safeco Field that night anyway.
Shelton 51, Olympic 27. It always sucks to get beat by a team called the Highclimbers. I was never sure if that really was forest/lumber-related or not. Shelton RB Isaiah Taito rushed for 22 carries and 234 yards (yes, that's an average of a first down on every run). I should also note that a company named Taito made a Nintendo game back in the day called Bubble Bobble, one of the greatest games ever made for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
Orting 34, Klahowya 6. Ouch. Dustin Byers was involved in three (pass, rush, INT) touchdowns for the Orting kids in the path of destruction of Mount Rainier. K's Shawn Squires ran for 23 carries, 108 yards, and a TD. Can't say I expected the Eagles to lose this game, though.
And finally, but painfully...
Port Angeles 56, Bremerton 6. Ouch ouch ouch. Novick's boys trounce. If a running bacl in any football game runs 26 times for 312 yards (PA's Adam Macomber), it's a pretty good bet his team wins. Coach McKnight was well enough to give the Sun a quote; he was out last week with the flu.
This report brought to you by David's not-wanting-to-study mentality.
