This week’s game of the week is the Yelm Tornadoes at the Olympic Trojans at 5 p.m.
You can watch that here.
This is a key game for OWL playoff positioning.
Elsewhere…
Bainbridge (3-2, 1-1) at No. 5 O’Dea (4-1, 2-0: Bainbridge has
not beaten O’Dea in their time in the Metro League. The Spartans
need to win two of the last three to claim a playoff spot.
South Kitsap (5-0, 4-0) at Bellarmine Prep (3-2, 2-2): This is the
last team on the Wolves’ schedule with a record above .500.
Shelton (1-4, 1-3) at Central Kitsap (2-3, 2-2), 7:30 p.m.: This is
the first of three games against sub-.500 teams for the Cougars,
who need to use that stretch to get back in the playoff race.
Klahowya (0-5, 0-2) at Fife (3-2, 2-0): The Trojans have won three
straight, and they are trying to keep pace with North Mason and
Sequim atop the league.
Kingston (0-5, 0-2) at Sequim (4-1, 2-0): The Bucs will try to
catch the Wolves looking ahead to next week’s showdown with North
Mason.
Steilacoom (0-5, 0-2) at North Mason (5-0, 2-0): The Bulldogs have
the league’s most potent offense at 41.6 points per game.
Cedar Park Christian (2-3, 0-2) at Port Townsend (3-2, 1-1): The
Redskins had a three-game winning streak snapped last week. The
Eagles have lost two straight.
Chimacum (4-1, 2-0) at Orting (4-1, 2-0): This a matchup of two
teams tied for second in the Nisqually.
Timberline (5-0, 3-0) at Port Angeles (0-5, 0-3): The Roughriders
aren’t likely to find their first win against the No. 6 team in the
state.
Chimacum over Orting could be a better game than it looks. These are not the Cowboys from last year; they should give the Cardinals a battle.
From the Orting side: one of their receivers/defensive backs is Janssen Powers. Football runs in the family – his father Lance was an all-league lineman at Enumclaw. Janssen is being looked at by some Ivy League schools, as well as some local colleges. But if football doesn’t work out, he has rock and roll – Powers is the front man for Autumn Harvest (think Death Cab for Cutie, but louder). One of their first concerts was at the Charleston over the summer.
