On paper the 2013 version of the Cascade Christian Cougars looks to be a one of the best they have ever had. A name that might ring a bell to most local football fans is that of sophomore TE/LB Mason Tobeck (6-2 195). Right off the start we will get the family name out of the way. Mason’s father Robbie played at Washington State and…
Josh Wright Highlights It seems like on a weekly basis we have a player attend our Elite Event that just blows us away. A few weeks ago, that player was DL Josh Wright (6-2 225, Jr.) of Skyline. Stepping in against some of the best OL in Washington, Wright showed right away he was going to be a force. His athleticism during the drills…
I spent much of last spring/summer attending various team practices, 7-on-7 events and scrimmages. Along the way I was impressed by many players I did not know. The player that made the biggest impression on me was 2014 OL/LB Austin Striplin (6-3 245) of Sumner. The first time I saw Striplin was June 17th at the Stadium Bowl in Tacoma. Sumner, Enumclaw and Stadium all…
Since the day our 2014 player rankings came out, a name that has been on a steady climb is OL Drew Springfield (6-3 275) out of Eastside Catholic High School in Sammamish, WA.
On a weekly basis someone new steps in to the Barton Football Academy’s Washington Elite Event and blows me away. Last week that was Russell Boston (5-6 160) out of Liberty High School, just east of Renton. From the second coach Greg Prator put Boston to work he impressed against some of the states top competition. His footwork is some of the best I have…
Gabe Moore Highlights This past season I spent every Friday night producing broadcasts for PlayON! Sports. More often than not I knew both teams and almost every player on each side, but the week 6 contest between Monroe and Snohomish was a bit of a mystery to me. I knew a few names on each side, but none of them really stood out. Monroe junior Gabe…
Jack Gellatly Highlight Video The 2014 RB class in Washington may go down as one of the states best of all-time. With big names like Devante Downs, Budda Baker, Isaiah Brandt-Sims and Drew Lewis, a name people seem to pass up a lot is Jack Gellatly (6-0 215) of Issaquah. Currently Gellatly is ranked fifth in our 2014 RB rankings, and a guy we…
With a unique ability to score on almost every play, Caleb Lyons (5-9 170) of Lakes will be one of the top returning players in Washington. He has the ability to play a variety of positions, and is the type of player any coach would love to have.
Chris Becerra Highlights With signing day almost a week behind us, many athletes are still mulling over their opportunities. Glacier Peak senior QB Chris Becerra (6-1 205) is still looking into his options with seven offers in hand. On August 31st, Becerra became the third straight senior QB to start the season for the Grizzlies and instantly impressed. He completed 22 of 35 pass…
It is no secret to those of you who know me that I love the lower classifications of high school football. Sure most teams aren’t filled with D1 athletes, but those players are sprinkled here and there throughout the state.
