What an interesting collection of games tonight in the South Sound.
Some of the scenarios are a little confusing, but two of tonight’s games feature teams that have to win to make the playoffs: Olympia at Yelm and River Ridge at Capital. Yelm and River Ridge have to win to keep their seasons alive and while the Yelm situation is complicated, if River Ridge wins they will force a three way tie for two playoff spots and the three teams will play a Kansas tiebreaker on Tuesday.
But the big game in town tonight is at South Sound Stadium where Timberline at 5-0 in 3A Narrows League play hosts Shelton, who are 4-1. With a win, Timberline takes the league title outright. But if the Highclimbers win, there will be a three way tie atop the Narrows League and a tiebreaker will be used to determine seeding. According to The Olympian, Shelton has to win by at least 14 to secure the #1 seed. You can hear me an John McGlamery call all the action on 1030 AM or KMAS.com
And even struggling Rainier plays an interesting game tonight when Seton Catholic comes to town. The Mountaineers are 0-8 this season while the Cougars are 1-7. The two teams have been outscored by a combined 859-170. Something has to give. Can Rainier actually pull one out and go out of this horrendous season on a high note?

Saint Martin’s Caley Wiseman scored her second goal of the season in the 25th minute from a good thirty yards out and I somehow managed to capture the entire thing. It was quite the goal. The Saints eventually fell 4-2 to Seattle Pacific.
More pictures from the game will be up on the Oly Sports Facebook page shortly.

Today (10/18): Saints get rematch with Falcons; Hawks and T-Birds tangle
Ashley Richardson equalized but the Falcons scored the winner with 10 seconds left in 2OT on Sept. 29th
Big game for the Saint Martin’swomen’s soccer team today when they play host to Seattle Pacific. It’s a rematch of a game in Seattle that saw the Falcons pull out the victory in the final 10 seconds of double overtime, 2-1, part of an eight match unbeaten streak that SPU is currently riding.
The Saints are still in the hunt for a GNAC playoff spot currently sitting in fifth place at 4-6. The top four teams make the GNAC playoffs at the Starfire complex in Tukwila beginning on November 1st and the Saints are chasing Western Oregon (5-4-1) for that final playoff spot.
First touch is scheduled for 2:00 PM at the SMU Soccer Field.
In American football action, a huge 2A Evergreen Conference game between Tumwater and River Ridge kicks off at 7:00 PM at South Sound Stadium.
Can the T-Birds continue their winning streak tonight against River Ridge?
The T-Birds are riding a six game winning streak after dropping their opener to Shelton and have knocked off Timberline, Capital, WF West and North Thurston in the process and are currently ranked #1 in the Oly Sports power rankings. Andrew Brown has been unstoppable for the T-Birds on all sides of the game and River Ridge will have their hands full stopping his rushing and special teams prowess.
But River Ridge sits there just behind the T-Birds in the EvCo standings and that at times explosive offense could always go off. But the Hawks had their five game winning streak snapped on Friday by WF West and barely got past 0-7 Centralia a week before and have given up 78 points over the last two games, worrisome results when facing this confusing T-Birds wing-T offense.
My pick: Tumwater 45, River Ridge 28, in a game that is closer than the final score reflects.
And don’t forget all the girl’s soccer and volleyball action going on all around town….

Today (10/13): Geoducks try to topple #18 Concordia; Saints host Jackets
The #18 ranked NAIA Division II men’s soccer team in the nation comes to town today when Evergreen plays host to Concordia at Evergreen Pitch. The two teams currently sit 1-2 in the Cascade Collegiate League standings, the Cavaliers are 8-0 while the Geoducks are a game behind at 7-1.
The two teams met on September 25th at Tuominen Yard in Portland and Concordia walked away with a 2-0 victory. Two internationals scored for the Cavaliers, Sam Carmichael of Australia and Gerrit Hamann of Germany. Collin Harlow started the game in goal for the Geoducks but has not started a game since. Mauricio Sanchez, a transfer from Wenatchee Valley has posted two shutouts since he was allowed to play following some confusion on the Evergreen athletic department’s part about his eligibility and Mitch Treend played the first 75 minutes in the 2-0 win over Northwest Christian.
First touch out at Evergreen is scheduled for 1:00 PM.
Across town at the same time, the Saint Martin’s men’s soccer team welcomes Montana-State Billings to Lacey.
The Saints have really struggled this season and are just 1-7 in GNAC play and 2-10 overall but did take #12 Seattle Pacific to double overtime before dropping a heartbreaker last Saturday. The Yellowjackets haven’t been a whole lot better sitting at 3-4-1 in conference play. The two teams met on September 20th in Billings and the Yellowjackets handed the Saints a 3-0 loss.
First touch today at Saint Martin’s is at 1:00 PM.
