Three weeks into the season and the Crown Division is tough to figure out. The Woodinville Falcons are the only undefeated team at 3-0. Three teams, the Ballard Beavers, Inglemoor Vikings and Roosevelt RoughRiders check in at 2-1. At the bottom of the standings are the Garfield Bulldogs and surprising Bothell Cougars at 1-2.
So far the Woodinville Falcons have outscored their opponents 121-17. They have wins over Mount Si, Monroe and Redmond. The Falcons will play in two stadiums the rest of the regular as they will play their next four games at Pop Kenney Stadium, the third game being a "road" game at Bothell. They finish the regular season at Memorial Stadium in Seattle against Roosevelt. Eighth year Head Coach, Wayne Maxwell might have his best team yet, expect the Falcons to make a good run in the playoffs.
After starting the season with two shutouts, the Inglemoor Vikings were torched last week for 45 points in a loss to the Lake Stevens Vikings of the Wesco Conference. This week the black and gold travel to the 2-1 Ballard Beavers, who are also coming off their first loss of the season. The Beavers beat Sammamish 34-27 and Franklin 50-20 before being dismantled by the Issaquah Eagles 55-15. The next two weeks are big for Ballard, after hosting the Vikings they will travel to Pop Kenney to take on the division leading Woodinville Falcons.
The Roosevelt RoughRiders are in interesting team. They got wins over Franklin 39-15 and Interlake 21-7 before losing last week to one of the top teams in the state, the Eastlake Wolves 41-20. I think the RoughRiders might be the best of the three Seattle schools in KingCo. This week they are home vs the Bothell Cougars. If they want to make a run at the playoffs a win this week against, a struggling Bothell squad, would go a long way.
A 1-2 start is not the way the Bothell Cougars wanted to start the season. After winning a big game over the Union Titans (Vancouver,WA) in week one, they lost a heartbreaker to the Mount Si Wildcats before heading down I-5 and losing to the Newport Knights. The Cougars now begin league play by traveling to Roosevelt before coming back to Pop Keeney for games against Northshore Rivals, Inglemoor and Woodinville. If the Cougars are going to finish in the top spot, the next three weeks are as big as they get.
The Garfield Bulldogs got everyones attention in the opening weekend for reasons they would rather forget. Since then they have beaten Sammamish 27-22 and lost to Seattle Prep 42-7. They begin league play this week against the division leading Woodinville Falcons before playing Seattle Rivals Roosevelt and Ballard.
