As one of the top rushers in the state heading into the season, Eastside Catholic senior tailback Henry Jarvis has lived up to the hype and he told Northwest Elite Index recently he just goes about his business and hopes to lead his team to another state title game berth. “We made it to the state title game last year and this year, that’s what we are…
6A Top Ten 1. Central Catholic (6-0) – Player for player the best team in the state, but the Rams have a tendency to play at the level of their competition which has hurt them in the playoffs. Next: vs David Douglas (0-6) 2. Tigard (6-0) – Tigard is averaging a 36-2 halftime score against opponents (210-14), and will most likely just add to that total. Much…
4A Top Ten 1. Camas Papermakers (5-0) W 47-12 @ Skyview Storm (2-3) Camas put up all 47 points in the first half! The Papermakers are averaging 52 points per game and have never scored less than 47. The defense is giving up 11.4 points per game. This week should be a tune-up for week 7 vs Union. Next: @ Evergreen (Vancouver) Plainsmen (3-2) 2. Chiawana Riverhawks (5-0) W 48-7 @ Wenatchee…
Big news out of Tigard as one of the most vicious hitters to ever come out of the Northwest, AJ Hotchkins (6-0 230 Sr. FB/LB), has verbally committed to play football at the…
In what looks to be the most balanced conference in some time, the Clackamas Cavaliers took another step in reaching their goal of winning the TRL title. The Cavs beat up a good West Linn team 40-7 on the road and it really wasn’t close. The state’s leading rusher, Daniel Sherrell (5-9 170 Sr. RB), continued to do his thing carrying the ball 27 times for 162 yards…
Kings is off to a 3-1 start and one of the big reasons has been the play of their offensive and defensive line. The leader for the Knights up front, on both sides of the ball is senior Zach Jacobsen and he’s getting looks from several FBS and FCS programs. “Things have been going really well,” Jacobsen told Northwest Elite Index recently. “We’re playing well and I…
While leading his team to a 3-1 record, Puyallup (Wa.) QB Brendan Illies has shown why he could possibly start getting looks from college football coaches even though many think he will wind up being a standout baseball player at the next level. “I’m sorta known as a baseball player. That’s always been the sport I’ve done really well at, but I love to play football too,…

It’s hard to imagine that Meridian running back Letrez Jones isn’t at 100 percent. The talented tailback, who has torn up fields this season, admits his knee isn’t at full strength and he’s still battling some nerves each weekend. On Friday night, at Bellingham’s Civic Stadium, Jones looked just fine and couldn’t be stopped. Whether it was through the air or on the ground, the senior dashed…
It’s not breaking news that the Chiawana Riverhawks are good this year. In fact, they are the best team I’ve seen in this area since the last time Coach Graff brought home a State title with Pasco in 2003. Coach Steve Graff, for some just getting familiar with High school football, has Coached 3 State champions (’98, ’00, ’03) All with Pasco High School before the addition of…
