HALF TIME
Yes, it's time for another edition of the Half-Ass High School Football Report, and luckily, there's some good news at the end of it. Here's the final week of regular season Kitsap County scores...
Bellarmine 29, North Kitsap 20. After the devastating, out-of-the-playoffs last week to Shelton, it appears that North didn't have a lot left to give, and that's really too bad considering just how hot they started this year.
...and in an abbreviated Friday night of action, we get to this...
Bremerton 19, Mount Tahoma 14. Thankfully, the 2003 Knight football team is spared a winless season. This reminded me of a similar scenario when I was in 8th grade, which I will preface by saying that the Brem School District made up some stupid grade-level arrangement where the high school is 10th-12th grade, the junior high is 8th/9th, and the middle school is 6th/7th. So the Bremerton Jr High Bulldog football team of 1995 (classes of 1999/2000 on that team) had lost every game except for the final game...and I forgot who that final game was against. But anyway, after the win, a big banner proclaiming "WE WON!" was posted in the cafeteria with all the players' names on it. No word on whether that will happen this year at B-town High. As you can see, there's a long, tried-and-true tradition of winning in Bremerton football. Actually, winning Knight football has been seen as recently as the early '90s, when the Kingbowl still existed and the Gridiron Classic had yet to exist.
There might be another edition of the Half tomorrow, but that depends on whether I really want to talk about South Kitsap or not, and it might depend on the outcome. So I'm a little biased here. Sue me.
