Week 2: My 4 year-old’s football picks
Last week, my four year-old daughter went 4-4 with her picks including her bold prediction that the Shelton Highclimbers would cut down the Tumwater T-Birds nests. Good pick, kid.

Her pick: Mountaineers
“They’re going to mountain them!”

Her pick: Lumberjacks
“They’ll chop them down.”
Tenino Beavers vs. Washougal Panthers
Her pick: Panthers

Her pick: T-Birds

Yelm Tornadoes vs. Olympic Trojans
Her pick: Tornadoes
“The Tornadoes will suck them up.”
Olympia Bears @ Capital Cougars
Her pick: Bears
“Bears run faster.”
Shelton Highclimbers @ North Mason Bulldogs
Her pick: Highclimbers

Today (9/6): Rams vs. Wolves; Evergreen volleyball tourney; Much more
Big crosstown football game on tap tonight when Black Hills travels to Lacey’s South Sound Stadium to take on North Thurston at 7:00 PM. In 2011, as members of the 2A EvCo, the Rams knocked off the Wolves 35-14 but both teams are coming off of big opening week victories that they hope will set the tone for this game and the rest of their season.
North Thurston traveled to Steilacoom and rushed their way to a 36-21 win that wasn’t as close as the final score. Maurice Manning scored three short touchdowns and Brandon Belisario scored on an 18 yard run and Ryan Mets, who has the unenviable task of replacing Ben Broeker at quarterback, threw his first touchdown, a 24 yarder to Josh Cahill.
Meanwhile, in Tumwater, Black Hills was busy putting a hurting on Clover Park. A relatively close game got out of control in the third quarter when the Wolves put 21 points on the board behind two touchdown passes from Miles Smiley and a 40 yard run by Jesse Perkinson. Smiley finished with 174 yards and three touchdowns while Perkinson had 95 yards rushing and a touchdown and 49 yards receiving and a TD.
So two teams with some question marks coming into the season that performed well in the opener. I expect North Thurston’s running game to dominate again but Black Hills will also put some points on the board.
My pick: North Thurston 35, Black Hills 24
If football doesn’t really float your boat, head on out to Evergreen where the Geoducks are hosting the Red Lion Evergreen Invitational volleyball tournament starting today at 3:00 PM when Columbia Bible faces Northwest University in the opening game.

Today (8/30): Saints and Geoducks soccer at home; Capital football opens in Bellevue
The college soccer regular season gets underway in earnest today with a pair of games at Saint Martin’s and Evergreen.
This afternoon, the Saint Martin’s women host Cal State Stanislaus. The Warriors are the defending California Collegiate Athletic Association champions and went 11-4-6 in 2011. First touch is scheduled for 2:00 PM at the SMU Soccer Field.
Following the Saints game, head across town to Evergreen where the Geoduck men host Menlo College at 5:00 PM. Menlo is coming off of a California Pacific Conference championship and a trip to the NAIA national championships in 2011.
And the high school football season kicks off this evening when Capital travels to Bellevue to take on Newport at 7:00 PM. Capital is the #2 ranked 2A team in The News Tribune’s coaches poll released yesterday while Newport was unranked by the coaches in the 4A poll.
My pick…
Capital 35, Newport 24
