THE HALF-ASS, PART I
Since it's somewhat urgent, I'll pass along just a tiny part of the Half-Ass High School Football Review right now, and I'll post the scores and recap the rest of it in about 10 hours when I have no classes and the Bremerton Sun finally updates their website for the day. Until then, I'm using the Tacoma News Tribune (a refutable paper that can actually put their new editions on the web at midnight so all us nightowls can read the latest stuff) as the source for this one particular article...
To title this, I guess it'd be "Came, Saw, Conquered."
The Gig Harbor Tides went into opposing territory in Port Orchard -- onto the turf of the South Kitsap Wolves. End result: 14-9...South eats it at the hand of Gig Harbor for the first time since South joined the Narrows League, snapping South's 6-game win streak against GH. There were two big turnovers for South: one on a muffed punt return on which GH recovered the ball seven yards from the end zone, and another on a 4th-quarter interception that iced the game.
South stud running back Shannon Haney ran for 104 yards on 23 carries, but when you factor in that one of the runs was for 38 yards and then average it out accordingly...(quick math) that's 66 yards on 22 carries (3 yd/carry). By the same token, GH back Gary Cole (come on, don't even think about a Gary Coleman joke here; you know he's probably heard it before) ran for 133 yards on 22 carries, one of the runs being a 34-yarder...take that one out and you get 99 yards on 21 carries (about 5 yds/carry).
Another thing, GH's 5th-ranked defense in the state held South's offense (averaging 41.3 pts/gm) to 9 points and 213 total yards.
The other Kitsappish scores listed are:
Shelton 48, North Kitsap 27 (North could have had a playoff berth with a win)
Olympic 49, Bremerton 6 (ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch)
