For Bellevue, today’s game against the Katy Tigers is a culmination of months of work. Months of hitting sleds. Months…
Game in Texas a result of Bellevue Wolverines’ past triumphs in football.
Bellevue High School Wolverines ready for Lone Star football showdown with Katy, Texas team.
Who are the Katy Tigers?
The kids can play.
Brett Arrivey and Alec Schwend, a pair of sophomores in their first varsity action, used big plays to help Woodinville bury Newport for the second-straight season-opener, as the Falcons rolled to a 42-21 victory in Bellevue.
Interlake will no longer travel to play Ingraham tonight, instead hosting Hazen High School of Renton at 7 p.m. in…
Although Kate Bennett won’t set foot on the pitch this season in a Bellevue uniform, she’s still around the program – voted as a honorary captain of the team she scored 21 goals for in her first two seasons after leaving last year to train to make the U.S. Youth National team.
It doesn’t take long for Bellevue coach Jon Anderson to pinpoint what his team will need to do this season to be successful.
“It has to be teamwork,” said Anderson. “That’s what is going to make us successful.”
It’s going to be especially important this season as Kate Bennett – a senior who scored 21 goals in her first two seasons – will miss the entire season after suffering an ACL tear in late June with the U.S. Youth National team. Bennett played in Bellevue’s first two preseason games a year ago before leaving to train with the Crossfire boys program in order to train for the National team’s final tryout.

So when the Wolverines travel to Texas to take on the Katy Tigers on September 12, we’ll be there.
One thing’s for sure – this year’s Newport squad isn’t going to look like the Knights teams of the past.
Newport, usually a traditional Wing-T offense, will feature a new look this year thanks to the athleticism and speed of the players in the backfield.
“Last year we were a team that, once we got to the second level, we were not able to break the long run,” said Newport coach Mike Miller. “We’ve improved in that area and our skill guys are better. That’s the nice thing about this year; we’re going to have some speed and we’ll be able to work in the pass. This will not be your typical Newport team.”
Helming that passing attack will be returning starter Ross Quarre, whose improvement in the offseason is the key to the new look, Miller said.
Another Bellevue football field gets torched
Brian Tucci took a good hard look around the room during his first team meeting after taking over as head coach of the Sammamish Totems.
He saw players ready to buy in to his philosophy on how to turn the school around. He saw enthusiasm.
What he didn’t see was pride. Not a single player in a Totems football shirt; not one letterman’s jacket in the crowd.
More than three hours.
That’s how long the Interlake Saints stayed in the locker rooms at Bellingham’s Civic Stadium following last November’s playoff loss to Lynden.
No player on the Saints wanted to exit that locker room following the 34-0 defeat to the eventual 2A state champions. So there they sat, for more than three hours, trying to take in what had just transpired on the field.
When the University of Washington football team hit the practice field last Monday for the start of fall camp, there was one Husky who knew he’d always be there.
Of course, Reece Anderson also happens to be the Husky who took the one of the most circuitous routes to that practice field – and the only one there living his dreams thanks to a tireless year of self-promotion and selling to not one, but two head coaches.
Clay Strom just wants to have a little fun, and he doesn’t mind if you come along for the ride, err, run.
Strom, who will be a senior at Hazen High School in the fall, is a Newcastle resident hoping his Aug. 29 Newcastle 5K run/walk can become a staple of the community.
