School hasn't started yet around here, but the high school football season kicks off this weekend. Friday night the Shorecrest Scots host the Interlake Saints at Shoreline Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7pm.

The Scots will be led by senior QB Jack Koss, who will be looking to senior Race Treat, a versatile athlete, as his primary target.

Their top running back is senior speedster Nick Kinkopf. Jackson Jones, Taylor Oxford, and Korreal Renbarger are the beefy boys in the line who figure to open holes for Kinkopf and protect Koss.

On defense, follow Jake Smotherman. He'll lead your eyes to the ball-carrier on nearly every play.

The Shorecrest Boosters will be open for business prior to the game, grilling up burgers and hotdogs for a reasonable price. 
Parents of grade school students are especially encouraged to bring their kids to the season opener. It promises to be a festive atmosphere at an affordable price.

King's Knights make it to football semi-finals

Friday, November 27, 2015

Shoreline's Kings High School Knights football made it to the semi-finals in Class 1A state quarterfinals.

The King’s Knights erased six years of frustration last Saturday with a 42-21 victory over Hoquiam in the Class 1A state quarterfinals. 
Or as the Knights referred to it, the “third round.” 
After making it to the quarterfinal round in each of the the past six seasons — and losing each time — the Knights decided they were going to eliminate the word “quarterfinal” from their collective vocabulary and simply call the game “the third round.” 
One can debate whether the linguistic game plan was a factor in last week’s victory, but the end result is that the Knights (11-1) get to play in the fourth round — or as it’s more commonly referred to, the semifinals.

King's football player delays surgery to play with his team

Saturday, November 21, 2015

Heraldnet has a story about King's football defensive end Edmund Sundquist, who delayed surgery on a broken and hyperextended elbow to play his senior year with the team.

For those teams fortunate enough to be playing in mid-November, every player is a little worse for wear.King's defensive end Edmund Sundquist takes it to a whole new level. Sundquist was injured before the season even started. 
The Knights senior broke his elbow and hyperextended it prior to King's season opener against Lynden. Sundquist opted to delay his surgery until after the season so he could play his senior year out with his teammates. 
“The doctors told me, ‘You're going to need to have surgery and you'll be out for six-to-eight weeks. You could maybe come back for playoffs,'” Sundquist recalled. “As a senior, there's no way I'm sitting out for that. ... I've been playing football since I was in fourth grade. I played fall and then arena football, so I've played more than 10 seasons easily. I just love the game. Not playing was not an option for me.” 
So Sundquist toughed it out and returned to be a force on the defensive line for King's.

Scots top T-Birds, 14-12, to reclaim Rotary Cup

Saturday, September 26, 2015

What's football without cheerleaders?
Shorewood cheer in blue and Shorecrest in green

Ian Prieve scored all Shorecrest's points, Jack Koss passed with pinpoint accuracy, and Will Brennan made an impact in his season debut by rushing for over 100 yards, but it was Marvin Yong's interception in the back of the end zone on Shorewood's 2-point attempt that would have tied the game with 2:02 to play that preserved Shorecrest's 14-12 win over Shorewood in the 37th annual Rotary Cup Game at Shoreline Stadium Friday night.

With the win, the Scots extend their lead in the series to 24-13.

Shorewood's Isaac Whitaker makes a catch
for a long completion in the fourth quarter.

Shorewood started strong, forcing turnovers on Shorecrest's first two possessions, the first one on the third play from scrimmage following a fumble. But SC's defense stiffened and SW settled for a 26-yard Isaac Whitaker field goal to open the scoring.

Shorewood's Ronnie Gary goes down the sideline
after making an interception in the first quarter.

On their ensuing possession, Scots' QB Koss' long pass was intercepted by the talented Ronnie Gary, who wove his way down the far sideline forty-one yards to the Scots' 19. Again, the Scots' defense stiffened and Whitaker kicked his second field goal to make it 6-0 T-Birds, with 4:41 to play in the first quarter.

In the second quarter Shorecrest's Ian Prieve
returns an interception for a touchdown.

Shorecrest took a lead they would never relinquish when Prieve, a slender senior, hauled in a short pass from junior QB Koss. For the game, Koss completed 14 of 17 passes for 164 yards. Prieve's PAT made it 7-6 Scots with :33 to play in the quarter.

The T-Birds responded with a drive of their own on passes from Aaron Okamura to Gary for 31 and 20 yards. For the third time, the Scots' bend-don't-break defense forced another field goal try, but this one missed to preserve the Scots' slim 7-6 lead.

When SW got the ball back, Prieve stepped in front of an Okamura pass on the T-Bird 36 yard line and took it to the house for a touchdown. The PAT gave the Scots a 14-6 lead which they took to the halftime locker room.

Shorecrest drums at half-time

At halftime, in a move that perfectly depicts the friendliness and mutual respect that typifies this rivalry, both schools' bands took the field and fans were treated to the playing of both fight songs performed by the multitude of musicians.

Then Rod Mar, the official photographer of the Seattle Seahawks and a graduate of Shorecrest High School, got in position for his annual "Family Photo" of the colorful and spirited masses assembled for this, the biggest annual gathering in Shoreline.

In the middle of the third period, the Scots threatened to extend their lead. Yong took a short pass and ducked and darted his way twenty-nine yards down to the T-Birds' 1-yard line. But the next two plays lost yards, and Koss' third down pass was picked off by the T-Birds on their own one yard line.

The teams traded possessions near midfield until SW got the ball back on their own 37 with just 2:20 to play in the game. The determined T-Birds wasted no time as Whitaker made a circus catch of an Okamura pass for eighteen yards on their first play, then SW's senior signal-caller found the 6' 2" Gary streaking down the middle of the field, a step ahead of the nearest Scot defender, for a touchdown with 2:02 to play. SW lined up for the two-point conversion that would tie the game.

But the 5' 8" senior Yong, who missed all of last season recuperating from an injury, would have nothing to do with a tie game.

"We were in man coverage and I was guarding Ronnie Gary, easily the best receiver I've ever had to cover," he explained. "I saw a slant and jumped it, but he ran a delete route (changed directions) and I was able to recover and get in front of him. The quarterback, one of my good friends Aaron Okamura, threw it up knowing it was a mismatch size-wise, but I jumped as high as I could, only meaning to bat it down, but I was able to get two hands on it and bring it down."

Shorecrest running back, Will Brennan,
sweeps left for a good gain.

Shorewood's ensuing onside kick was covered by the Scots. Senior running back (and highly recruited rugby player) Will Brennan, returning to action for the first time this season, bolted for 58 yards on second down, enabling SC to run out the clock on the T-Birds' hopes of winning the Cup for the third straight year.

After the game, a hoarse but happy SC coach Brandon Christensen croaked "The boys found out how to become men tonight. I've been waiting for this team to come together into a single heartbeat. They fed off each other, counted on each other, and the results on the board were perfect. What happened tonight was priceless."

The Rotary Club of Shoreline is the game sponsor

For a game that saw good, clean, competitive football played under cool, dry skies, in front of a well-behaved overflow crowd, 'priceless' seems a pretty apt description of the whole night.

Shorecrest football loses a close one to Lynnwood, 26-25

Saturday, September 12, 2015

Shorecrest's Aubry Victor's 25-yard field goal attempt was blocked with just under 30 seconds to play, thwarting a furious Scots' rally, to help Lynnwood football prevail 26-25 Friday night at Shoreline Stadium.

Trailing 19-6, Jack Koss' sixteen yard TD pass to Ian Prieve pulled the Scots to 19-12  with just under a minute to play in the first half, after the Royals had scored twice within ten seconds in the second quarter.

Shorecrest tied the game at 19-all on Koss' pass to Briggon Weaver with three minutes to play in the third quarter, but the Royals countered with a score of their own as the quarter closed to make it 26-19.

When SC's Race Treat hauled in Koss' 45-yard pass with 4:27 to play, all they needed was the PAT to tie it up.  But Victor's kick was blocked and the Scots trailed by 26-25.

Prieve intercepted a Royals' pass on Lynnwood's 43 yard line with 2:18 to play, hope glimmered for the Scots. They managed to drive the ball down to the Royals' 10, only to have their interior line blocking break down on the final field goal try.

The loss leaves the Scots with a 1-1 mark. They play at Sammamish next Friday before returning to Shoreline Stadium for the Rotary Cup on Sept. 25.

Scots Smother Turks, 25-2

Friday, September 4, 2015

After a winless season last year, Shorecrest football coach Brandon Christensen might have been happy with any sort of win in Friday night's opener at home against Sultan.

But the Scots' coach was positively jubilant following his team's 25-2 win over the Turks, in which his defense shut out the visitors.

"I'm just so happy for our guys, especially our seniors. They've gone a long time without a win. "

After taking a 3-0 lead into the halftime locker room, Sultan scored its only points of the night on a safety when SC's quarterback, Jack Koss, lost the handle on an errant snap in the end zone early in the third quarter.

The Turks returned the favor on their next possession, falling on a fumble in their own end zone, creating an odd-looking 5-2 score.

Shorecrest proceeded to score three touchdowns in the final quarter and a half on three big plays.

Marcus Osborn romped for a 45-yard touchdown run midway in the third to make it 12-2.

Nick Kinkoff bolted for 66 yards on his way to pay dirt early in the final quarter.

And Ian Prieve hauled in Jack Koss' pass for a 34 yard score midway in the fourth quarter to close out the scoring.

Coach Christensen singled our linebacker Jake Smotherman for special recognition.  "Jake was in on over half of our tackles tonight.  I've never seen a linebacker with such an instinctive nose for the football."

The Scots host Lynnwood next Friday at 7.

The Rotary Cup Game against crosstown rival Shorewood is slated for September 25.
