This week in the KingCo 4A Crest, Sept. 20th, 2011...

The Crest Division of KingCo 4A might be the best in the state. Eastlake and Issaquah are both undefeated, Newport is 2-1 after a big win over Bothell and the Skyline Spartans have got to be the best 1-2 team in the state. At the bottom of the table and winless are the Redmond Mustangs.

The Eastlake Wolves are 3-0 and averaging almots 40 points a game so far. The next three weeks provides three road tests as they travel to Redmond, Newport and finish non-league play against Mariner(Everett,Wesco 4A). The schedule sets up very well for the Wolves to finish on top as their final two games against Issaquah and Skyline, are on home soil. Expect big crowds at both games as all three schools are just a few miles apart.

Picked by the coaches to finish third, and they may still, the Issaquah Eagles have shown the ability to score and to stop you from scoring. Three games into the season the Eagles are averaging just over 48 points per game while giving up barely over 7. This week the Eagles play host to Skyline in a game that could really put the Spartans on their heels. Next week they finish non-league play when they host Kamiak (Mukilteo,Wesco 4A).

This week the Newport Knights finish non-league play when they travel to Everett Memorial Stadium to take on the Cascade Bruins (Everett,Wesco 4A). The Knights return home the following week to take on Eastlake then Skyline. They hit the road to Redmond and Issaquah to finish regular season play. If the Knights can get an upset win against either Eastlake or Skyline, they could be in a good spot to possibly finish at the top of the standings. If they are to do so it will be behind the arm and legs of Junior Quarterback, Isaac Dotson. Click here for a nice highlight video of the Knights QB.

The Skyline Spartans are easily the best 1-2 team in the state. They have played a very tough schedule so far hosting Liberty and Bellevue before heading to play Lake Oswego(Oregon) last weekend. The Spartans are led Junior Quarterback, Max Browne who, in my opinion, is the best QB in the state. Browne has all the makings of being the next great quarterback from our state and I am sure before it is all said and done, he will be to pick from almost any college in the country. This week the Spartans travel to Issaquah to take on the undefeated Eagles. I would expect the October 21st game against the Eastlake Wolves to determine who wins the division.

For the Redmond Mustangs this appears to be a season of rebuilding. Through three games they have been outscored by 102 points and they have yet to get itno league play. It will be very though for the Mustangs to get a win this season before they travel to Edmonds-Woodway to take on the Warriors (0-3, Wesco 4A).
