Exciting High School Football Games in South Sound This Weekend
This weekend, the South Sound area is gearing up for some thrilling high school football action with several key playoff games. The matchups promise intense battles as teams strive for victory and a place in the next round.
On Saturday, November 16, at Sunset Chev Stadium, the No. 2 Sumner Spartans will take on the Kamiakin Braves. Spartans head coach Keith Ross has always been willing to take on the toughest opponents, and this season is no different. Sumner boasts an impressive record, defeating all five teams in this year’s 4A state bracket. Running back Steele Isaacs has scored six rushing touchdowns in his last two games, while partnered with tight end Carter Cocke and quarterback Nate Donavan, the offense looks formidable. The main challenge will be how the Braves’ quarterback Trent Woodhouse, who leads a high-scoring offense, performs against Sumner’s solid defense.
At 1:30 p.m. at Gonzaga Preparatory School, the Emerald Ridge Jaguars will face the undefeated Gonzaga Prep Bullpups. The Jaguars have had an impressive season under head coach Torey Donovan, clinching a Round of 32 win over Skyline. Their defensive stronghold allowed few points all season long. However, facing Gonzaga Prep’s powerful triple-option offense will be a significant test for Emerald Ridge.
Meanwhile, at 2 p.m. at John C. Larson Stadium, the Arlington Eagles will challenge the Graham-Kapowsin Eagles. It’s a showdown between two talented quarterbacks, with Arlington’s Leyton Martin and Graham-Kapowsin’s AJ Tuivaiave leading their respective teams with impressive passing statistics. This matchup could hinge on how well Graham-Kapowsin can stop Arlington’s running game.
On Friday, November 15, at Neil F. Lampson Stadium, the Enumclaw Hornets, riding a nine-game winning streak, take on Kennewick. Enumclaw has been scoring at a remarkable average, demonstrating offensive prowess. In their last encounter, they dominated Southridge with a 77-0 win. If they can maintain their level of play, they could continue their strong run.
Lastly, at 7 p.m. at Federal Way Memorial Field, Decatur will make their state tournament debut against a hot Mount Tahoma team. Both teams are entering the game with strong momentum, and it promises to be a close contest.
The excitement is palpable as these teams prepare to battle it out this weekend in the South Sound playoffs. Fans can look forward to some thrilling football, with favorites and underdogs alike looking to make their mark.
