High School Football Power Rankings: Five Teams Remain

Nov 6

Posted by

The T-Birds retain their top power ranking.

All T-Birds, all season

Five teams remain. Two, maybe three of them will remain after this week. Was it a bad season for local football? Hard to say. I think it was more circumstances than anything. Rochester’s season looks worse than it was because of one loss and a ridiculous first round match-up with Woodland, Olympia had only one bad loss and basically didn’t make the playoffs because Gig Harbor was a huge surprise, and the 3A Narrows League only had three playoff spots so North Thurston was left out.

——————————————–

Playoff teams

1. Tumwater T-Birds (9-0, 5-0 2A EvCo)
Last week: #1 (No change)
Previous game: Tumwater 56, Black Hills 22
Playoff game: vs. Aberdeen (4-5) – Tumwater Stadium – Saturday, 7:00 PM

Notes: Undefeated regular season? Check. Now must go undefeated this season. First up: Aberdeen, who won a three team playoff on Tuesday night to even make the playoffs.


2. Timberline Blazers (6-3, 5-1 3A Narrows)
Last week: #2 (No change)
Previous game: Timberline 41, Shelton 0
Playoff game: vs. Meadowdale (5-4) – South Sound Stadium – Saturday, 1:00 PM

Notes: The Blazers kept it rolling against Shelton and won the 3A Narrows League title thanks to five straight wins. They draw the Wesco’s #5 team, Meadowdale, who have lost three straight games. The Blazers are a team that have obviously come together and could make a deep run in the playoffs.


3. Tenino Beavers (5-4, 5-1 1A Evergreen)
Last week: #4 (+1)
Previous game: Tenino 37, Rochester 27
Playoff game: vs. White Salmon (5-4) – Tenino Stadium – Friday, 7:00 PM

Notes: First league title since 1986, how does that sound? Not too bad for a team that I originally ranked at #9 and dropped as low as #11 after dropping three straight to open the year. They definitely are hot having won five of their last six (their only loss coming to 9-0 La Center) and have an outstanding two way player in Zack Chamberlain.


4. Capital Cougars (4-5, 3-2 2A EvCo)
Last week: #5 (+1)
Previous game: Capital 38, River Ridge 14
Playoff game: @ Mark Morris (8-1) – Longview Memorial Stadium – Friday, 7:00 PM

Notes: 0-4 to start the season, finished 4-1 and snagged the third playoff spot in the 2A EvCo. Unfortunately, they now have to take on 8-1 Mark Morris in Longview. But the Cougars are battle tested and nearly beat WF West in their only loss over the last five weeks and it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if they upset the Monarchs.


5. Rochester Warriors (6-3, 4-2 1A Evergreen)
Last week: #3 (-2)
Previous game: Tenino 37, Rochester 27
Playoff game: @ Woodland (8-1) – Kalama Stadium – Friday, 7:00 PM

Notes: What a disaster for the Warriors. Their loss to Tenino dropped them all the way to #3 in the 1A Evergreen and sends them to Kalama to take on one loss Woodland, who outscored their opponents 416-53 in their eight wins. Their only loss came to undefeated La Center 52-21 in the regular season finale.


Missed the playoffs

6. Olympia Bears (6-3, 4-2 4A Narrows)
Last week: #6 (No change)
Previous game: Olympia 48, Yelm 10
Week 10 game: @ North Thurston (5-4) – South Sound Stadium – Thursday, 7:00 PM


7. North Thurston (5-4, 3-3 3A Narrows)
Last week: #9 (+2)
Previous game: North Thurston 41, Mount Tahoma 8
Week 10 game: vs. Olympia (6-3) – South Sound Stadium – Thursday, 7:00 PM


8. Black Hills (4-5, 2-3 2A EvCo)
Last week: #7 (-1)
Previous game: Tumwater 56, Black Hills 22


9. River Ridge (4-5, 1-4 2A EvCo)
Last week: #8 (-1)
Previous game: Capital 38, River Ridge 14

Monday Scoreboard: Saints Streak to Exhibition Win

Nov 4

Posted by

Women’s basketball
Saint Martin’s 63, Puget Sound 52 – Recap

Chelsea Haskey scored 22 points and hauled in seven rebounds and Jordyn Richardson hit three three pointers in the second half and Saint Martin’s erased a one point deficit at the half to take a 63-52 decision over the University of Puget Sound in an exhibition game at Marcus Pavilion.

Richardson’s three pointer at the 12 minute mark capped off a 22-4 run to open the second half that gave the Saints a 49-32 lead. Haskey scored eight points during the run and Angela Gelhar, Jori Skorpik, Brooke Paulson and Richardson each hit threes in that span.

The Loggers went on a 15-2 run over the next eight minutes and closed the deficit to just four at 51-47 when Erin Stumbaugh hit a three pointer with 6:32 remaining. But Richardson answered with her second three of the half to stretch the lead to seven and gave the Saints an 11 point lead on her third three with 2:52 left to play and the Loggers never threatened again.

Krista Stabler scored 10 points on the night, including eight points in the first half that helped erase an early 10 point lead by the Loggers. Paulson finished with eight points and five boards and Ciara Pedroni pulled down six rebounds for the Saints.

Erin Stumbaugh and Amanda Forshay scored 11 and 10 points respectively for UPS.

Wilson 2, Timberline 1

River Ridge 2, Shelton 0

Timberline dropped their first 3A Narrows League match of the season with a 2-1 loss to Wilson and finished 11-1-0 in league, ahead of the Rams, who were 9-1-2. The Blazers next play either Hazen or Auburn Mountainview in a district playoff game on Thursday at 7:30 PM in Sumner.

Despite a 2-1 loss to Mount Tahoma tonight, North Thurston finished as the #3 seed out of the 3A Narrows League and will play either Kelso or Prairie on Thursday at 5:30 PM at Stadium Bowl.

High school volleyball
Capital 3, Tumwater 1 (25-17, 18-25, 25-21, 25-23)
Centralia 3, River Ridge 0 (25-14, 29-27, 25-16)

Capital went into Tumwater and because of their 3-1 victory over the T-Birds took home the #1 seed to districts out of the 2A EvCo. Both the Cougars and T-Birds finished at 11-1 and 1-1 against each other but Capital won five sets and Tumwater won four sets in their two games and will next face WF West in the District IV playoffs at Black Hills beginning on Thursday. Tumwater draws the #3 seed out of the GSHL.

Timberline 4, Mount Tahoma 0
North Thurston 4, Lincoln 0
Olympia 1, Bellarmine 0
Aberdeen 3, River Ridge 0

Olympia wrapped up the regular season with a 1-0 win over Bellarmine thanks to a goal in the 76th minute by Jenna Killman. The Bears went 7-3-2 in the 4A Narrows League good enough for second place behind Gig Harbor, who are 7-0-4 with one game left to play.

North Thurston 41, Mount Tahoma 8

North Thurston scored 34 points in the first quarter and tacked on a touchdown in the third quarter to knock off Mount Tahoma 41-8 at South Sound Stadium. Hayden Maliska scored twice, first on a 65 yard run to open the scoring and a 16 yard run to close the scoring. The Rams are now 5-4 while Mount Tahoma dropped to to 0-9.

SaintsGeoducks_12Women’s soccer
Evergreen vs. Southern Oregon – Evergreen Pitch – 4:00 PM


College volleyball
Saint Martin’s vs. Alaska-Anchorage – Capital HS – 7:00 PM

Yes, Saint Martin’s volleyball plays at Capital High School tonight because Marcus Pavilion is being set up for the big fundraiser gala there on Saturday. Good scheduling by everybody involved. With a pair of wins this weekend the Saints could set the program’s all-time win record.


High school volleyball
Capital @ Tumwater – Tumwater HS – 7:00 PM

Tumwater and Capital are separated by just one win and one place in the state rankings (#2 and #3 respectively). The T-Birds are 11-0 in the 2A EvCo and Capital sits at 10-1 with just tonight’s showdown remaining in the regular season. The T-Birds won a classic in their first meeting this season on October 8th. Should be a good one with a big crowd of sugar upped high school students dressed in costume rooting on both schools.

High school football
North Thurston vs. Mount Tahoma – South Sound Stadium – 7:00 PM

It’s the 4-4 Rams, eliminated from the postseason last week by Timberline, against the 0-8 T-Birds. Should be an easy win for the Rams considering that Mount Tahoma has scored just 12 points all season and are coming off a 42-0 loss to previously winless Shelton.

High School Football Power Rankings: T-Birds Clinch EvCo Title and #1 Ranking

Oct 29

Posted by

The T-Birds retain their top power ranking.

All T-Birds, all season

Four teams have locked up playoff spots but Tumwater is the only team to clinch a league title, the other three have their chance on Friday. Four other teams have a chance at the playoffs and four others have been eliminated. Here is how it breaks down…

——————————————–

Clinched playoff spots

1. Tumwater T-Birds (8-0, 4-0 2A EvCo)
Last week: #1 (No change)
Previous game: Tumwater 59, River Ridge 0
Next game: @ Black Hills (4-4) – Tumwater Stadium – Friday, 7:00 PM

Notes: Another absolutely dominating performance for Tumwater and all that they have left between them and a perfect regular season is Black Hills in the Pioneer Cup on Friday. They have clinched the 2A EvCo title no matter what happens thanks to their win over WF West two weeks ago.


2. Timberline Blazers (5-3, 4-1 3A Narrows)
Last week: #2 (No change)
Previous game: Timberline 34, North Thurston 7
Next game: @ Shelton (1-7) – Highclimbers Stadium – Friday, 7:00 PM

Notes: The Blazers clinched a playoff spot with their win over rival North Thurston and will likely wrap up the 3A Narrows League title with a win at Shelton this week. The Blazers have won four straight games after their early season swoon that saw them get spanked by Tumwater, make a ton of mistakes in a loss to Olympia and drop a hard fought game to Wilson.


3. Rochester Warriors (6-2, 4-1 1A Evergreen)
Last week: #4 (+1)
Previous game: Rochester 49, Stevenson 27
Next game: @ Tenino (4-4) – Tenino Stadium – Friday, 7:00 PM

Notes: Rochester easily beat Stevenson in a non-league game and will return to the 1A Evergreen with a rivalry game with the league title on the line. The Warriors could finish as low as third in the league with a loss to Tenino so there is a lot on the line in a game that hasn’t been this important since 1996.


4. Tenino Beavers (4-4, 4-1 1A Evergreen)
Last week: #5 (+1)
Previous game: Tenino 39, Hoquiam 32
Next game: vs. Rochester (6-2) – Tenino Stadium – Friday, 7:00 PM

Notes: Tenino is in thanks to their wins over Montesano and Hoquiam in the past two weeks and can win the 1A Evergreen if they beat Rochester and Monte can knock off Elma. They’ll take second with a win and an Elma win and could but will fall to third with a loss. Playing in Tenino is a big advantage for the Beavers.


Still alive for a playoff spot

5. Capital Cougars (3-5, 2-2 2A EvCo)
Last week: #3 (-2)
Previous game: WF West 42, Capital 28
Next game: @ River Ridge (3-5) – South Sound Stadium – Friday, 7:00 PM

Notes: The situation is simple for Capital, win and you’re in. If the Cougars lose and Black Hills pulls off the upset it will be the Wolves. If they lose and Tumwater beats Black Hills, Capital, Black Hills and River Ridge will be tied for third at 2-3 and each will have 1-1 records against each other. Not sure how the tiebreaker would be solved yet, though.


6. Olympia Bears (5-3, 3-2 4A Narrows)
Last week: #8 (+2)
Previous game: Olympia 28, Bellarmine 10
Next game: vs. Yelm (3-5) – Ingersoll Stadium – Friday, 7:00 PM

Notes: With their season on the line, Olympia came up HUGE with a dismantling of Bellarmine. The Bears have the most complicated playoff scenario and I can’t even begin to break it down to an easily understandable couple of lines so I will just refer you to The Olympian.


7. Black Hills (4-4, 2-2 2A EvCo)
Last week: #7 (No change)
Previous game: Black Hills 45, Centralia 20
Next game: vs. Tumwater (8-0) – Tumwater Stadium – Friday, 7:00 PM

Notes: No matter what happens in their game against Tumwater, they need one thing to happen: River Ridge needs to beat Capital. There is no other way for them to make the playoffs. With a loss and a River Ridge win, they would be in a three way tie for third at 2-3. If they pull the huge Pioneer Cup upset with a River Ridge win, they end up as the #3 seed outright.


8. River Ridge (4-4, 1-3 2A EvCo)
Last week: #9 (+1)
Previous game: Tumwater 59, River Ridge 0
Next game: vs. Capital (3-5) – South Sound Stadium – Friday, 7:00 PM

Notes: Even with just one win in conference, the Hawks still have some life. They need to beat Capital and hope Tumwater holds serve against Black Hills. The three would be tied at 2-3 with the tiebreaker yet to be determined.


Eliminated from playoff contention

9. North Thurston (4-4, 2-3 3A Narrows)
Last week: #6 (-3)
Previous game: Timberline 34, North Thurston 7
Next game: vs. Mount Tahoma (0-8) – South Sound Stadium – Thursday, 7:00 PM

Notes: With just three playoff spots this year in the 3A Narrows, the Rams are out, which is surprising considering that they looked like a smash mouth team that was an antidote to the speed of the rest of the 3A Narrows. But speed won out and the Rams are only ahead of hapless Shelton and Mount Tahoma.


10. Yelm Tornadoes (3-5, 1-4 4A Narrows)
Last week: #10 (No change)
Previous game: Gig Harbor 56, Yelm 14
Next game: @ Olympia (5-3) – Ingersoll Stadium – Friday, 7:00 PM

Notes: Yelm’s record is actually a bit deceptive: the three teams that they have beaten are just 2-22 combined (Highline 0-8, Stadium 1-7, Shelton 1-7).


11. Shelton Highclimbers (1-7, 1-4 3A Narrows)
Last week: #12 (+1)
Previous game: Shelton 42, Mount Tahoma 0
Next game: vs. Timberline (5-3) – Highclimber Stadium – Friday, 7:00 PM

Notes: Hey! The Highclimbers got the big win nearly doubling their season total for points with their 42-0 dismantling of Mount Tahoma. They can play spoiler against Timberline on Friday but that’s unlikely. They might get a second win when they take on Stadium in week 10.


12. Rainier Mountaineers (1-7, 0-6 1A Evergreen)
Last week: #11 (-1)
Previous game: Montesano 35, Rainier 6
Next game: vs. Seton Catholic (3-4) – Doc Harris Stadium, Camas – Friday, 7:00 PM

Notes: Seven straight losses for the Mountaineers means that they need a win over Seton Catholic on Friday to top their win total from 2012.

Jake Henry rushed for 120 yards and four touchdowns and Brian Nault added a pair of rushing touchdowns in the third quarter to lead the Shelton Highclimbers to their first win of the season, a 42-0 romp over Mount Tahoma at Highclimbers Stadium in Shelton.

Henry did all of his damage on 12 rushes in the first half and carried just one more time the rest of the way. Nault went for 61 yards on seven carries and Gordon Henry amassed 57 yards as the Highclimbers racked up over 285 yards of rushing on the night.

The T-Birds have scored just 12 points all season and lost their top running back midway through the second quarter when Gregg Williams came up lame and was caught from behind on a 67 yard scamper. The T-Birds never seriously threatened again thanks to Nault’s eight tackles for loss.

Before tonight, the Highclimbers had scored just 44 points total. After nearly doubling their points for the season, they are now 1-7 overall and 1-4 in the 3A Narrows League. Meanwhile, Mount Tahoma dropped to 0-8.
