Year in and year out the Central Catholic Rams produce some of the top talent in the state. Head Coach Steve Pyne has a phenomenal staff and another elite group of kids. So the question remains why is this year’s CC team different? A Mt Hood Conference school hasn’t played in an Oregon State title game in 30 years (Gresham 1983), and the Rams last made an…
The Juanita Rebels made a statement with a season-opening win Friday night at Pop Keeney Stadium, as they knocked off the host Inglemoor Vikings 50-27. The Viks looked like they might make it interesting early on, moving the ball well on their opening drive before stalling and turning it over on downs. Juanita wasted no time in taking advantage of the opportunity, marching down the…
Bellevue (Wash.) Newport RB/DB Conner Baumann, who was one of the more dominant players in the region in 2012, has picked up yet another Division 1 scholarship offer from the University of Wyoming. The 6-foot-2, 223-pound Baumann rushed for 1,338 yards and 14 TD’s as a junior, and was a 1st Team All-KingCo and 2nd Team All-Area RB selection in 2012 – a season that…
In our most recent #NEIpoll we asked what is your personal game day tradition or superstition. It’s no secret that football coaches and players are creatures of habit, and your responses proved that. Everything from a clothing item you have to wear, to where you sit in the locker room, to what you eat before a game was mentioned. Some were “normal”, others, well, weren’t so normal – but that’s…
A kid that impressed all off season and has continued the trend into the first week of the year is Wilsonville two way threat Derek Sunkle (6-2 185 Sr. RB/CB). This past Friday he ran for 147 yards and 2 Td’s in the Wildcats 23-7 win over 6A Sprague. Derek looks to fill a big void created with the loss of NWOC 2012 Conference POY…
Fresh off their best season in school history, the Mount Baker Mountaineers have been operating at a high clip during the first two weeks of practice. Following a trip to the 1A state semifinals in 2012 and an 11-2 record, the Mountaineers welcome back several key pieces of their offensive attack. Senior Andrew Zender enters his third season as the starting quarterback for head coach…
Live from Doc Harris Stadium in Camas, WA 7pm. Todd Pickett & Jordan Johnson on the call. Click here to view the game Quarterback Camas’ Reilly Hennessey (6-3 190 Sr.) is one of the top QB’s in the region and carries a demeanor that makes him special as a quarterback. Eastern Washington got a steal, as I think he is the best Senior QB in the Northwest. The…
While he’s preparing for his senior season, Camas (Wa.) OL Drew Clarkson continues to look forward. Last weekend he visited Washington unofficially and in two weeks he will take his first official visit. “Right now, the only official visit I have set up for sure is Cal,” Clarkson told Northwest Elite Index recently. “I will visit them on September 14th for their game against Ohio…
Despite going just 2-7 and 4-5 the last two seasons, Longview (Wash.) R.A. Long has the makings of what could be a pretty good football team this fall – one that should certainly contend in the Greater St. Helens 2A league. Led by quarterback Ryan Peerboom, one of the state’s better signal-callers, the Lumberjacks’ passing attack could be one of the better ones in 2A….
6A 1. Jesuit (1-0) W 28-21 #6 Lake Oswego – The Crusaders got a hard fought win against a Lake O team that is good regardless of how many athletes they graduate. Chase Morrison and Joey Alfieri went for close to 350 on the ground to lead the Crusaders. This week’s game against Camas will be one of the best regular season contests in NW history. Next: @…
