Week 4: My Girls’ Expert High School Football Picks

Sep 26

Posted by

FullSizeRenderLast week Addie (my six year old daughter)went 6-4 while Rory (my three year old daughter) went 4-6. Addie is now 10-10 this season while Rory has her bested at 12-8.

They are back once again this week with their expert picks. So here is the full Friday Night Lights schedule with radio information and the best picks from a three year old and a six year old that money can buy…

————-

Tumwater T-Birds vs. Lake City (Idaho) Timberwolves
Tumwater Stadium – 7:00 PM – Webcast: Eli Sports

Rory’s pick: Timberwolves – “Because they will hop up and eat ’em. That’s all.”
Addie’s pick: T-Birds – “They’d come down and when they were running for the ball and bouncing up and down, the T-Birds would land on their back and poke them and then they’d do a really funny dance.”


Timberline Blazers @ Olympia Bears
Ingersoll Stadium – 7:00 PM – Radio: KMAS 92.9 FM

Rory’s pick: Bears – “They would stop on their back and put their claws in their back and poke them with their sharp claws.”
Addie’s pick: Blazers – “They will cut down and tree, and the Bears will yell ‘Uh oh, Spaghetti O’s!’ and run back into the woods.


Tenino Beavers vs. Elma Eagles
Tenino Stadium – 7:00 PM

Rory’s pick: Beavers – “Where the Eagles were living there, the Beavers would bite on their trees and the tree would fall down and the birds would get….dead. That’s all.”
Addie’s pick: Beavers – “When the Eagles are walking around trying to find food on the ground, the Beavers will walk over and say softly ‘uh oh, Spaghetti-O’s, there are those Eagles’ and then they will cut down a tree and the Eagles will yell ‘gahhhhh’ and run in every direction.


River Ridge Hawks vs. Orting Cardinals
South Sound Stadium – 7:00 PM

Rory’s pick: Cardinals – “They will chirp a lot and the Hawks will scream ‘THAT’S LOUD, THAT’S LOUD’ and they would fly away from home.”
Addie’s pick: Cardinals – “They would say ‘hey, let’s go sneak up on the them” then they would fly very softly over to the other team and then in their ears go ‘BAHHHHHHHHHHH’. Then the Hawks would go ‘AHHHH’ and fly over the ocean to another state.”


Rainier Mountaineers @ Ocosta Wildcats
Ocosta HS, Westport – 7:00 PM

Rory’s pick: Wildcats – “They would go running and running and running and they would knock down the other team like bowling pins.”
Addie’s pick: Wildcats – “The Wildcats will already be on the mountain and then they will run so fast that they get to the Mountaineers and grab all their Mountaineering stuff and jump on to a rock and drop it.”


Black Hills Wolves @ Columbia River Chieftains
Chieftain Stadium, Vancouver – 7:00 PM

Rory’s pick: Wolves – “They would run, run, run, run, run all the way and would howl at the moon going “AWWOOOOO” and they would go whisper ‘awooooo’ and then they would run down the mountain and they would knock down the Chieftains and they would be dead.”
Addie’s pick: Chieftains – “They will already be ready for the Wolves to come and they will go ‘FIRE’ and all the arrows will fire at the Wolves and the Wolves would go ‘UH OH, SPAGHETTI-O’S’ and run back up the mountain and into their own touchdown.”


Capital Cougars @ Foss Falcons
Mount Tahoma Stadium, Tacoma – 7:00 PM

Rory’s pick: Cougars – “They would run up and bite the birds.”
Addie’s pick: Cougars – “They would climb up a tree where the birds nest is but they wouldn’t have any babies so they wouldn’t eat the babies and when the Falcons came back they would say ‘uh oh’ and kick the nest down.”


Yelm Tornadoes vs. South Kitsap Wolves
Yelm HS – 7:00 PM

Rory’s pick: Wolves – “They would run up and whisper ‘ahhhh, awoooo’ and they would go down a tiny, tiny hill and ride a tricycle and knock them down.”
Addie’s pick: Tornadoes – “When the Wolves tried to do what Rory said, the Tornadoes would go ‘RRRRR’ and the Wolves would go ‘WHOA WHOA WHOA’ inside the Tornado.”


Rochester Warriors vs. Forks Spartans
Rochester HS – 7:00 PM – Radio: Forks1490

Rory’s pick: Spartans – “They would use their forks and poke them in the eyeball.”
Addie’s pick: Spartans – “They would be holding their forks backwards, but they wouldn’t poke them, they’d just push them backwards until they scored a touchdown.”


Shelton Highclimbers @ Lincoln Abes
Lincoln Bowl, Tacoma – 7:00 PM

Rory’s pick: Abes – “The other team would do the wrong thing and Abraham Lincoln would call the police and the police would arrest them.”
Addie’s pick: Highclimbers – “The Abes would tell them to not cut down anymore trees but they would do the opposite and the tree would fall on Abraham Lincoln and he would say ‘I need a bunch of wrestlers to get this off of me!”

High School Football Power Rankings: T-Birds Still at #1, Blazers Jump Beavers for Second

Sep 25

Posted by

The T-Birds sit atop the Oly Sports preseason power rankings.

The T-Birds are still #1

Last week I talked about how I expected a mediocre season from the majority of the teams in the Olympia area before the season started. Last week I said that I was pleasantly surprised at the quality so far.

That was before the locals went 4-8 over the weekend and previously unbeaten Tenino, River Ridge, Black Hills, Rainier and Yelm all dropped their first games. That sends the power rankings into disarray making it nearly impossible to move anybody up or down despite wins and losses.

——————————————–

1. Tumwater T-Birds (3-0)
Last week: #1 (No change)
Previous game: Beat La Center, 41-0
Next game: vs. Lake City, ID – Tumwater Stadium – Friday, 7:00 PM

Notes: Not to take anything away from the T-Birds, but they did mop up on a 1A school on Friday night. Granted La Center has been a good 1A team but the difference between 2A and 1A is so great, it’s hard to believe they ever play each other. But the T-Birds are 3-0 and now face what will likely be their toughest opponent until they get to the state semifinals. Lake City of Coeur D’Alene, Idaho are 4-0 and are coming off of a 56-34 dismantling of ranked Shadle Park and their star quarterback Brett Rypien.


2. Timberline Blazers (2-1 overall, 1-0 4A Narrows)
Last week: #3 (+1)
Previous game: Beat Yelm, 31-7
Next game: @ Olympia – South Sound Stadium – Friday, 7:00 PM

Notes: With convincing wins over River Ridge and Yelm and a shoestring loss to the mighty Tumwater T-Birds, Timberline is looking good. But now they head into the meat of the 4A Narrows League with three weeks of unbelievably tough games. First up, Olympia on Friday night at Ingersoll Stadium then Bellarmine and Gig Harbor. I hate to say a game is a must win, but this game against Oly seems like a must win with the Lions and Tides looming large.


3. Tenino Beavers (2-1 overall, 0-1 2A/1A Evergreen)
Last week: #3 (-1)
Previous game: Lost to Hoquiam, 36-21
Next game: vs. Elma – Tenino Stadium – Friday, 7:00 PM

Notes: Really not sure what to think about the loss to Hoquiam. Just a hiccup early in the season or a sign of what is to come throughout the grind of the 2A/1A Evergreen season? They should get right against Elma this week.


4. River Ridge Hawks (2-1 overall, 0-1 2A SPSL)
Last week: #4 (No change)
Previous game: Lost to Franklin Pierce, 16-14
Next game: vs. Orting – South Sound Stadium – Friday, 7:00 PM

Notes: The 2A SPSL will be even more intriguing after Franklin Pierce got a late field goal to knock off the speedy Hawks on Friday night. In a league that looks to be pretty even overall, the Hawks will need a win over an Orting team that might be better than their 1-2 record indicates.


5. Rainier Mountaineers (2-1 overall, 1-1 in 2B Pacific)
Last week: #5 (No change)
Previous game: Lost to Raymond, 42-0
Next game: @ Ocosta – Ocosta HS, Westport – Friday, 7:00 PM

Notes: Welcome back to earth, Rainier. The first two weeks gave me a lot of confidence that the Mountaineers could compete with the two big names in the 2B Pacific but a 42-0 loss to Raymond showed you where this program is probably at. Still, I think they will likely be the third best team in the league behind Raymond and North Beach. Next up they get Ocosta. They were beaten 60-0 by a team that usually plays 8-man football, Neah Bay, and lost 50-0 to Life Christian before knocking off Chief Leschi 33-18 last week.


6. Black Hills Wolves (2-1 overall)
Last week: #6 (No change)
Previous game: Lost to North Kitsap, 26-7
Next game: @ Columbia River – Friday, 7:00 PM

Notes: The Wolves got beat by a ranked North Kitsap team and Chase Morrow finally looked human.


7. Capital Cougars (1-2 overall, 0-1 3A Narrows)
Last week: #7 (No change)
Previous game: Lost to Lincoln, 32-10
Next game: @ Foss – Mount Tahoma Stadium, Tacoma – Friday, 7:00 PM

Notes: The difficulty of the first three weeks finally caught up to the Cougars as they struggled to stop the high powered Lincoln offense. They should get a little bit of a reprieve when they face Foss on Friday night.


8. Olympia Bears (2-1 overall, 1-0 4A Narrows)
Last week: #9 (+1)
Previous game: Beat South Kitsap, 34-17
Next game: vs. Timberline – Ingersoll Stadium – Friday, 7:00 PM

Notes: A nice win for the Bears knocking off South K in Port Orchard. Isaiah Brooks is one of the breakout stars of the season putting up 236 yards and two TDs last week. I’m looking forward to seeing how they deal with Gabe Gutierrez and Timberline on Friday night.


9. Yelm Tornadoes (2-1 overall, 0-1 4A Narrows)
Last week: #8 (-1)
Previous game: Lost to Timberline, 31-7
Next game: vs. South Kitsap – Yelm HS – Friday, 7:00 PM

Notes: The Tornadoes have started quickly for three straight years but once they hit league play, it all comes crashing down. Facing Timberline in the league opener didn’t help. They hope to rebound at home against South Kitsap.


10. Rochester Warriors (1-2 overall, 1-0 2A/1A Evergreen)
Last week: #12 (+2)
Previous game: Beat Elma, 18-14
Next game: vs. Forks – Rochester HS – Friday, 7:00 PM

Notes: Hard to get too excited about 2A Rochester beating 1A Elma 18-14 but a win is a win and Wyatt Singer had an outstanding game going for over 230 yards with two touchdowns.


11. Shelton Highclimbers (1-2 overall, 0-1 3A Narrows)
Last week: #10 (-1)
Previous game: Lost to Foss, 26-13
Next game: @ Lincoln – Lincoln Bowl, Tacoma – Friday, 7:00 PM

Notes: The Highclimbers were competitive in this game and that’s a big difference from where they were last year. Still, the play calling was frustrating and the surprising lack of urgency at the end of the game was a head scratcher. They could have beaten Foss if not for some key penalties. They next head to Lincoln, which could be ugly.


12. North Thurston Rams (0-3, 0-1 3A Narrows)
Last week: #11 (-1)
Previous game: Lost to Wilson, 47-21
Next game: @ Central Kitsap – Silverdale Stadium – Thursday, 7:15 PM

Notes: North Thurston looked like they had turned things around after one half of football against Wilson taking a 21-6 lead into the locker room. But the Rams from Tacoma reeled off 41 unanswered points and the Rams of Lacey fell to 0-3 for the first time since 1984. 1984?!
