Coach Brian Tucci and his Sammamish Totems are no longer winless.

For the second straight year, Sammamish has picked up a non-league win by way of a forfeit. Ballard, which defeated the Totems 34-27 in the season opener two weeks ago, self-reported using an ineligibly player on a conference call with KingCo Athletic Directors earlier this week.

Garfield used ineligible players in a non-league game last season that was also later forfeited.

Details surrounding the number of ineligible players used and which specific players were in violation were not reported on the conference call.

“The kids have mixed feelings on it,” Sammamish head coach Brian Tucci said. “They’re focused on Liberty, but there’s still an emotional tie there.”

The Totems will travel to face the Patriots with a 7 p.m. start tonight.
