Seahawks Shutout Vikings

Sunday afternoon the Seattle Seahawks 

shutout the Minnesota Vikings 26-0.

The first quarter the Seahawks didn't 

score any points. 

The second quarter the Seahawks kicked

two field goals and Earnest Jones intercepted a pass that went 85 yards. The Vikings 

rookie quarterback Max Brosmer threw

a ball that he shouldn't have. He should 

have taken the sack instead then the

Vikings would have kicked a field goal.

In all he threw four interceptions. As 

we know Sam Darnold did the same

thing not long ago and the Seahawks 

didn't win either. 

In all Brosmer completed 19 of 30 for

126. Darnold didn't do much better

completing 14 of 26 for 128 yards.

He threw no touchdowns.   

The last Seahawks scored happened 

when running back Zach Charbonnet 

ran in for 17 yards. This was after the

Seahawks got a first down for the only

time they tried on 4th down. The other

ones they went and scored field goals.

Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet 

split about 50 per cent. Zach had 14

carries while Walker had 13. Walker had 

56 yards while Zach had t2. Walker had 

a longer run than Zach though he scored

only.  Former Washington Huskies Myles

Gaskin had three carries late in the

game. 

The Rams lost to the Panthers on the

road by a field goal so the Seahawks 

and Rams are tied for the division.

If the Seahawks beat the Rams at the 

end of the season along with their 

other remaining games the Seahawks 

will win the division.  The 49ers are 

still a half game being both teams.

Seahawks play the Falcons next

Sunday. Unfortunately Michael Penix 

Jr. Is out for the Falcons the rest

if the season. Go Hawks!

Washington Huskies Lose At Home

For the second time the Washington 

Huskies football team lost at home

this season. Earlier they lost to 

Ohio State then Saturday afternoon 

to archival Oregon Ducks 26-14.

The offense of the Huskies didn't 

play well. The Ducks were able to

give Huskies quarterback Desmond 

Williams Jr. trouble. The first two

times the Huskies had the ball 

Williams was sacked giving the

ball back to Oregon. The Huskies 

were able to stop the Ducks allowing

them to kick field goals.

Denzel Boston was finally able play 

and he had two touchdowns the 

only scores they had.  The second

touchdown was around nine minutes 

to go to put the Huskies within 

five points. 

At the 7:55 Ducks quarterback Dante 

Moore  was able to find a receiver

in the field who was able to outrun

the Huskies defenders and that iced

the game since the Huskies would

have to score two touchdowns to 

win.

The Ducks have now won 12 games

on the road in a row.  They will play

in the National  championship series.

They could have a bye in the first

round. Interesting they won't play

in the Big Ten championship game.

As far as both teams we will have 

to wait to see when the Ducks play

in the championship series and who

the Huskies play in a bowl game.

Go Dawgs!

Huskies Lose To Colorado On the Road

Didn't  see on the initial  schedule  the

Huskies went to Pittsburgh  to  play 

Colorado. The Buffaloes  are a good 

team. They are now 7-0.

The Huskies  are now 5-2. The

Buffaloes  got off to a 7-0 run

and the Huskies never got into

the game. Wesley Yates and

Zoom Diallo, neither had a good 

game.  Wesley  was 2 of 8 from

the field while Diallo went 1 of

8.

Quimari Peterson  led with 18

points whilev he only shot 

six of eighteen from the floor.

Desmond Claude is now playing 

after starting the season with

injuries  had 14 points shooting 

6 of 18.  

We see if the Huskies  have 

another game this weekend 

before  facing the  UCLA 

Bruins at home next Wednesday. 

Go Dawgs!

Preview Minnesota Vikings at Seattle

The Seattle Seahawks are 11.5 

favorites over the Vikings at Lumen 

Field.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback 

JJ McCarthy isn't expected to

play Sunday since he is in concussion 

protocol.Max Brosmer an undrafted

rookie out of University of Minnesota.

He spent five years at New Hampshire 

including one year with a torn ACL

before going to Minnesota last year.

According to the Vikings Brosmer

has a quicker release than McCarthy 

so we will see how he does. The 

Seahawks will see what they do with

surprises with Brosmer.

The Vikings have 4-7 record and

have a better record on the road 

being 3-3.  Seahawks QB Sam 

Darnold was QB last season so

we will see how he does against

his old team.

The Minnesota Vikings average 

4.7 yards on the ground so they

will see how they can do against 

the Seahawks starting out.  The

Seahawks defense give up 3.8

yards on the ground. We are sure

the Seahawks will try making 

Brosmer throw the ball first by

stopping the run. It will start being

cat and mouse game.

Aaron Jones Sr.  is the Vikings

starting running back on record

however he has played in seven

games this season although he

has averaged 4.9 yards  a carry.

Jordan Mason had most of the

carries when Jones was out.

He has 531 yards on 116 carries.

He is a averaging 4.6 a carry.

Likely to see both guys playing.

Justin Jefferson is the Vikings top

receiver. He is having somewhat 

down year more from who is

quarterbacking. We hope he 

doesn't put it into the Seahawks. 

Currently he has 60 catches for 

795 yards and only two touchdowns.

Last year he had 1533 yards and 10

touchdowns. 

We look forward to the Seahawks 

adding another win. It is important 

that the defense is high intensity.

The offense gets off to a good 

start. A two touchdown lead at

least heading into the 4th quarter. 

Go Hawks.

Washington Huskies Beat Nevada

Nevada has had a good team. Heading 

into Thanksgiving meeting the Wolf

Pack had won six of seven games.

The Huskies led by six at halftime 

however outscored the Wolf Pack

by eleven in the second half.

Final Huskies 83 Nevada 66

The difference in the game the

Huskies made 11 more shots from 

the foul line while taking 13 more

shots. The Huskies had ten more

defensive rebounds than Nevada.

The Huskies went with an 8 man

rotation. The Huskies had four 

players in double figures. Wesley 

Yates lll led with 25 points. He didn't 

shoot well going 5 of 13 and four 

were three pointers. He did well 

making 11 of 13 from the foul line.

Zoom Diallo was second with 19

points shooting five of nine. He to

went to the foul line nine times 

and making right. Yates and Diallo 

will be keys to the Huskies season.

Center Francke Kepnang couldn't be

stopped going six for six from the

field as well as three free throws.

Quimari Peterson had 13 points. 

Freshman JJ Mandaquit who began 

the season starting played 22 minutes 

off the bench. He had four points going

one hundred percent at the foul line.

Desmond Claude who began the season

on the injured list only 2 points.  He

should eventually should make a difference.

The Huskies are still without freshman

Hans Steinbach who is injured who

began as a good player upfront and

Bryson Tucker injured too.  The Huskies 

should be good with a healthy group.

The Huskies are playing Colorado today.

 Go Dawgs!

Preview: Oregon at Washington Football

The Oregon Ducks are a 6.5 favorites

on Saturday's game against the Huskies.

The Ducks have only one loss on the 

season to Ohio State who beat the

Huskies too. 

The Huskies have won three of the

last four games against the  Ducks.

All three wins were by three points 

with Michael Penix Jr. as quarterback.

Last year they lost 49-21. This was 

the first start for Desmond Williams Jr.

as a freshman.  Jedd Fisch had to

rebuild the team after former coach

Kalen DeBoer  moved on to Alabama

after the Huskies lost to Michigan 

in the national championship game.

Not only is Desmond Williams Jr.

the starting quarterback for the 

Huskies for the whole season 

the Huskies have several freshman

playing on the offense. The future 

looks bright at this time.

The Ducks are ranked #7 so they 

dominate their opponent. On the

offense they score 39.27 points 

a game while giving up 14.91.

The Ducks run 228.6 yards a game

while the opponent do 103.0. The

Huskies hopefully will have a more 

healthy Jonah Coleman though

Adam Mohammed and Jordan

Washington have done a good job

in his place.

The Ducks average 243 yards a game

which is about average these days in 

college football however with a great

running game don't need a higher 

passing. On defense they give up

only 145.72 yards a game. Desmond 

Williams Jr. will have to pass well as 

running to have the Huskies to win.

Dante Moore is Oregon's starting 

quarterback. He was the Ducks 

backup QB last year after being

at UCLA. He didn't play a lot so

he was redshirted. Dante completes 

72.89% of his  passes. He has

thrown 23 touchdown passes 

while only six interceptions in

eleven games. Dante isn't used 

in the running game as Williams

does for the Huskies. He has 50

carries coming into this game.

He averages 16.36 yards a game

and has no touchdowns.

Noah Whittington is the Ducks

starting running back though 

they use two others some as 

well. Noah averages 80.78 yards 

game and has six touchdowns.

Jordan Davison second in running

attempts is used a lot in the red

zone and has 13 touchdowns.

He averages 46.45 yards a game 

Dierre Hill Jr. a freshman is averaging 

41.09 yards a game and has four 

touchdowns.

The Ducks starting tight end Kenyon 

Sadiq  leads in catches, yardage and

you touchdowns.  He has 36 catches, 

479 yards and eight touchdowns.

Fellow tight end Jamari Johnson

is sixth in catches with 20 and

has only one touchdown.

One of the split ends freshman 

Dakorian Moore is second with

28 catches and yardage with

443 along with tied with Malik

Benson in third with three tds.

Benson is third in receptions 

with 26 and yardage at 424.

Slot receiver Gary Bryant Jr

is next with 25 catches and

is second with 4 touchdowns.

The Ducks defense has 19

sacks on the season. Outside 

linebacker Teitum Tuioti leads

with five and a half sacks. He

is third with 52 tackles. DE

Matayo Uiagalelei is second 

with five sacks. He is tied for

10th with 25 tackles.

The Ducks say they will have

new flashy uniforms ask the

Huskies. I have to see since 

in my opinion they are all ugly.

The Ducks are color blind. 

The Huskies hope to have 

Jonah Coleman and Denzel 

Boston in this final home

game and regular season.

We hope so since this should

be Coleman's last game in

Husky Stadium.  Thanks

for being in a Husky uniform.

Go Dawgs!

The Huskies men's basketball 

team take on Nevada this 

Thursday afternoon. Go Dawgs!

Michigan Beats Gonzaga Big Time

The Michigan Wolverines got off to a

fast start on Gonzaga on Wednesday 

evening and never slowed down

beating them 101-61. 

The Zags looked like a normal team 

at best against the Wolverines.  When

March Madness comes the Zags might

need to be better we will have to see.

This is there only loss on the season 

and the Wolverines did it to the other

teams in this tournament.

Not only the score shows the dominance

Graham Ike the Zags top player on the

season had one point at the frew throw

line and went 0-9 on the floor. Also the

top rebounder as well didn't have a

rebound at all. The Wolverines defense

took him right out. See how he bounces

back in coming games.

The Zags next game will be on December 

5th against Kentucky. The Zags are higher

ranked however we will see how they

bounce back.  Go Zags!

Seton Hall Beats Cougars

In the consolation game of the Maui 

Invitation the Cougars lost to Seton

Hall Wednesday afternoon. 

Final  Seton Hall 75 WSU 61

The Seton Hall Pirates went on a 13 point run

early on in the game and the Cougars 

couldn't recover.  The Pirates led by ten

at half time and the Cougars couldn't get 

any closer. 

The Pirates were led by senior guard 

AJ Staton-McCray a transfer from

Miami. He had 20 points and made 8

of 14 shots including 3 of 6 in 3 point

shots. He was one of four Pirates 

who scored in double figures.

The Cougars had three players in 

double figures. They were led by

Rihards Vavers with 17 points. 

Ace Glass was second with 15

after having 60 points last night.

ND Okafor had 12 points. For

success the Cougars need those

three to be consistent on the floor

The Cougars will play next Tuesday 

against Bradley who beat Liberty 

today 74-64. They are 4-4 on the

season. 

Go Cougs!

.

Goozaga Wins Again Tuesday Night

The Gonzaga Bulldogs beat Big Ten

opponent Maryland easily on Tuesday

night. 

The Zags outscored the Terrapins 

in the first half by 15 points however

poured it on more in the second half

by outscoring by 24 points. The Zags

could have scored 24 points in the 

second half and won by 10.

Final.  Gonzaga 100 Maryland 61

Braden Huff lead the Zags with 

20 points. Emmanuel Innocent

had 15 off the bench. Steele Venters 

had 14 points in just 15 minutes off

the bench. Graham Ike who has been

instrumental all season only had

13 points. Maryland had three in double

figures however the most equaled Venters

total of 14.  

Maryland struggled on the field while

the Zags shot at 56.4 percent clip

and made 17 more shots while taking

nine more. Also better behind the

3 point line.  

The Zags are now 7-0. They take on 

7th ranked Michigan tonight. This

won't be an easy for Gonzaga. 

Go Zags!

Washington State Cougars Men's Loss

Tuesday the WSU men's basketball 

team lost a close game to Arizona

State Tuesday night in the semifinals 

of the Maui Classic.

The Cougars led the first half by

six points however the Sun Devils

turned the table the second half

though stayed close.

Freshman Ace Glass making his

first start after scoring 26 on

Monday night. He had a great

game scoring  40 points the most

by a Cougar freshman ever.

Ace was 9-14 from the floor 

including 6 of 9 in 3 pointers.

He made 16 of 18 from the

foul line. I have the feeling the

success the Cougars have the

rest of the way he will be in

the mix.

Arizona State will play Southern 

Cal in the championship game

tonight. The Cougars will play

Seton Hall who the Trojans

beat. Go Cougs!

Washington State Come From Behind in MB

The Cougars had to come from behind

to best a smaller school in the second 

half in Hawaii against Chaminade.

Final  WSU 90 Chaminade 85

The Cougars had to make up from 

being behind by 20 points to win.

The reason the Cougars won was

by the bench. The only players to

score in double figures for the Cougars 

was three off the bench. They actually

played more minutes than three of

the Cougars starters.

Aaron Glass known as Ace  a freshman

guard led with 26 points. He was 8 of

15 off the bench. The previous game he

had 20 points. Likely to see a lot of him

Rihards Vavers who has had to overcome

injuries scored 25 points including 7 of

12 behind the 3pt line which were all

his field goals. These two could make 

a big difference in how the Cougs play

the rest of the way.

Eermeli Yalaho the third member scored

ten points and had nine rebounds to.

A junior made 3 of 5 from the field and

made all four of his free throws.

The Cougars  are now 3-3 and take on

Arizona State in a couple hours. See

how these three and the Cougars fair

against the Sun Devils. Go Cougs!

Gonzaga Beat Alabama In Las Vegas

The Zags played a good game against

Alabama another high ranked team.

Much of the game the score was close.

In the midpoint Alabama went on a good

run however Gonzaga went a good run

to win the game. The Zags were up by

ten points with one minute to go.

Final Gonzaga 95 Alabama 85

Very impressed by the Zags as they

had to retool much of the team after

last season. They had five players 

score in double figures. They had 

dependable Graham Ike with 21

points and 11 rebounds.  Tyrone Grant-

Foster had 21 points as well. Braden

Huff had 18. 

Both shot well from the field though

both could have done better behind

the three point line. Gonzaga had ten

more points in the paint which was

the difference in the game.

The Zags play Maryland tomorrow night.

Right now they are playing UNLV.  The 

Terripins are behind by six in the first 

half.

Go Zags!

Seahawks Win Sunday

The first quarter both the Seahawks and

Titans only had field goal.  Sam Darnold 

threw a touchdown pass of 64 yards to

Jaxson Smith-Njigba at the 11:10 mark

of the second quarter.  The Seahawks 

had two field goals to make it 16-3

at half time.

In the third quarter both the Seahawks 

and Titans had two touchdowns. Jaxon Smith-Njigba had his second TD of the afternoon for 13 yards.  The Seahawks were able to get the ball back however they had punt as well and unfortunately the special

teams didn't do the job. The Titans had a

90 yard touchdown. That made it 23-10

Seahawks.

At the 6:40 mark of the 3rd quarter  Zach

Charbonnet had a 5 yard run. He had only 

six carriers on the day. Kenneth Walker lll 

led the Seahawks with 11 carries for 71 

yards. He was second on the team with

three catches for 30 yards. Jaxon Smith-Njigba led with  eight catches for over

one hundred yards which he is doing regularly. Currently he is third in catches 

and yardage Jaxon is the only one over

1000 yards.Walker was questionable 

before the game.

Can Ward had a six yard run at 1:18 remain

in the 3rd quarter making it 30-17. Neither

team scored in the 4th quarter until Ward

threw a one yard pass with 43 second

remaining in the game.  It made it  

interesting but about it. Now the Seahawks 

are 8-3.  The Los Angeles Rams play

Tampa Bay Sunday night. See if the 

Rams can win and keep the lead. 

Go Hawks.

Huskies Beat Up On Bruins

The Huskies have had some trouble 

playing on the road this season but

against the Bruins they looked like

they have been playing at home.

The Bruins haven't had a good season.

It included firing their head coach and

both coordinators. So Huskies did what 

they must on a team that is not having 

a good season.

Final Washington 48 Bruins 14

The Huskies got off to a slow start 

offensively not able to score until the

end of the first quarter. They end up 

rolling scoring 17 points in the second

half. Quarterback Williams ran for

a touchdown then they had a field goal

followed by a force fumble by their defense.

After having a 20-0  lead at half time the 

Huskies had two more touchdowns with

Williams rushing again and throwing one.

The Bruins finally got on the board with

a touchdown near the end of the third

quarter.

The 4th quarter the Huskies marched 

down and Jonah Coleman scored on

a one yard touchdown. After missing 

last week Coleman had only four

carries. Hopefully he will be ready for

the Oregon Ducks next week in the

final regular season game. 

The Huskies were able to stop the

Bruins on three downs on their next

possession. Unfortunately the Bruins

forced a fumble by the special teams

to score a touchdown.

The Huskies though came back which

included a 24 yard touchdown pass.

That ended the scoring for the night.

Next week the Huskies play Oregon 

at home. It will be another exciting 

rival game. The Huskies have done

well at home against the Ducks.

Go Dawgs!

Preview Seahawks at Tennessee Titans

The Seahawks after the worst game of 

the season in a loss at the Rams are

now on the road against the Titans 

in Nashville. 

The Seahawks are favored by 13

points as the Titans are having a

very poor season. Tyler Lockett

who started the season with them

after being released by the Seahawks.

He asked the Titans for his release

and now with Pete Carroll and the 

Last Vegas Raiders.

The Titans have a 1-9 record on the

season. The Titans are last in the

NFL in rushing the ball and 27th 

in overall offense. They are 24th

in the league in yards allowed.

Kenneth Walker III is questionable 

at running back  for the Seahawks. 

There is a chance he might play

though the Seahawks will go with 

their other two running backs.

We won't know for sure until 

just before kickoff.

Can Ward former WSU Quarterback 

Is the Titans starting quarterback 

after being drafted number one 

in last draft. He has completed 

58.4 of his passes for 1954 yards.

He has only six touchdowns in

ten games and has six interceptions 

as well. He is ranked 23rd in passing

yards though six touchdowns throw 

is 32nd in the league. 

Tony Pollard is in his second year

with the Titans as their starting

running back. He is rushing just

over 50 yards a game after rushing

over a thousand last year.

Tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo has

the most catches with 32 and yards

of 337 yards however no touchdowns.

Fellow tight end Gunnar Helm is third

with 24 catches and one touchdown.

Wide receiver Elic Ayomanor is second

in catches with 28 receptions and yards

with 334 and leads with two touchdowns.

Chimere Dike is 4th  in catches with 24.

He has 1 touchdown pass.

The Way the Seahawks defense has

been playing don't expect a lot a

a points from the Titans. Go Hawks!

Cougars Lose Late Again

WSU had another disappointing loss.

Again for the third time this season 

they lost to a ranked team that was

favored against them. The key is

what can the team do to overcome 

a game that they could or should 

have won. It can be behind their

minds what will take for us to win. 

Final James Madison 24 WSU 20

The three touchdowns including a

late one in the 4th quarter were

long touchdowns. Outside of that 

the defense did a good job. Some

times  the good teams find a way to

win. If the Cougars can continue 

building their team they can be a

good one in the new Pac-12.

Pretty sure James Madison has 

a talented team or they won't 

be ranked in the top 25.

The Cougars are home for their

final game against rival Oregon 

State  Beavers next Saturday after

noon.  The Cougars have a 5-6

record so a must win to play in

a bowl game.  Go Cougs!

Preview Washington State At James Madison

The Cougars have a 5-5 record on the

season however they are 1-4 on the 

road. This week they play at James 

Madison who are favored by 13.5

points. 

The road record is not totally broken

since they lost to high ranked Ole Miss 

by three  points and Virginia by two.

They actually had a good lead at Virginia 

before losing at the end. 

James Madison is 9-1 overall and 7-0

in SBC East. They are 4-0 at home too.

Why the 13.5 favorites I expect.

James Madison average 37.10 points 

a game and their defense gives up

16.20 per game.  They are a running 

team average 241.60 per game. They

are good defense against the run at

89.10 yards. Passing game they throw

for 215.7 yards a game while giving up

168 yards. Expect the Cougars seeing 

James Madison running the ball to 

begin with.tqhlalm

Alonza Barnett III a junior is JM 

starting  quarterback. Alonza 

completes 61.63% of his passes.

Has 16 touchdown passes and only

5 interceptions. Running the ball

Alonza is second in carries and 

yardage. He is tops in touchdowns 

with 12 on the ground.

Junior Wayne Knight is the starting 

running back. He averaged 84 yards

a game and has seven touchdowns.

Senior Jordan Fuller a transfer from 

Holy Cross is  number two back

averaging  51.88 yards a game.

He has five touchdowns.  They have

other backs with attempts too.

Wayne Knight is valuable in the

passing game too. He is  number

one in catches with 35 and number

two with 368 yards and has one

touchdown catch. Junior wide 

receiver Landen Ellis is second 

in catches and number one in

yardage 532 yards and touchdowns 

with five. 

Senior Jaylan Sanchez a transfer

from Villanova is third in catches

with 22 and 4th in yardage has

one touchdown. Another senior 

is Nick DeGennaro a transfer

from Richmond. Is 4th in catches

with 17 however is third in yardage 

and second with 4 touchdowns.

They have others who have catches 

with just over one catch per game

or under one.

Now we have to see whether the

Cougars play up again to their

opponent. Go Cougs.

Preview Washington Huskies Football at UCLA

The Washington Huskies take on the

UCLA Bruins for the first time since

coming to the Big Ten Conference.

The Huskies are a 10.5 favorite in the 

game. The game takes place at the

Rose Bowl.

News is that Jonah Coleman who

didn't play against Purdue is expected

to play. Status of Tuesday November 18

they are not sure whether wide receiver 

Denzel Boston will be able to play. 

Last year the Huskies best the Bruins 

31-19 at Huskies Stadium. The last time 

they played at the Rose Bowl was September 

30, 2022 when the Bruins won 40-32.

This year the Bruins have an overall record 

of 3-7 and are 3-4 in Big Ten. The Bruins

are averaging 19.4 points a game while

giving up 32.4 points a game. 

The Bruins are averaging 122 yards on 

the ground while they passing 202.7 yards

in the air.  What is making why they are 

giving up so many points the defense is

giving up 244 yards on the ground and

187 in the air.  This means that if Jonah

Coleman is back he should have a big

game in the Rose Bowl. The other Huskies

running backs should have a big day too.

The Huskies should start out running the

ball which will setup the pass.

The UCLA Bruins quarterback is Nico

Imaleava a sophomore who transferred 

from Tennessee. He has completed 63.7

percent of his passes. He has thrown 259

passes completing 165.  Nico has 12 Tds

and 7 interceptions. Nico leads the Bruins

in rushing attempts as well as yardage.

96 attempts for 474 yards and four touchdowns. 

Jaivian Thomas a sophomore who transferred  is second in attempts 

81 carries for 294 yards.  Jalen 

Berger a senior is third in carries 

and Anthony Woods is fourth.

The Bruins have four wide receivers 

with at least 20 catches. Sophomore 

Kwazi Gilmer leads with 37 catches 

for 432 yards and three touchdowns.

Rico Flores Jr. has 25 catches for 271

yards but no touchdowns. Number three

is Mikey Matthews a transfer from

California with 23 catches for 272 yards

and a touchdown. Titus Mokiao-Atimalala

has 20 catches however leads with 12.6

yards per catch and has three touchdowns.

The Huskies success this season has been

at home however they are 2-2 on the road 

which is better than last year. The Bruins

have struggled at home 2-3 so we hope 

to see that again. Go Dawgs!

WSU Cougars Beat Southern Utah

The Cougars beat the Thunderbirds 

as expected 98-74.

The Cougars had 48 points inside. They

took 12 more shots and made 12 more 

more than the Thunderbirds the exact difference in the game. The Cougars 

shot 57.4%  compared to 48.2 for the

Thunderbirds which are both healthy 

percentages.

The Cougars outscored the Thunderbirds 

by 14 in the first half and 10 in the second.

The Cougars had four players score in 

double figures. They were led by ND Okafor 

with 27 points. This is his highest output 

since coming to WSU.  He was 6-6 in the

first half shooting and 12 of 24 overall.

The Cougars success may have Okafor 

in the middle of it all.  The Cougars are

now 2-3 on the season. Go Cougs!

Washington Huskies Men Win In Overtime

For most of the night the Washington Huskies were behind then they tied in regulation 

then won in second overtime.

Final Huskies 99 Southern 33

The Huskies were shorthanded so it

was a tough night. A team like Southern 

wanted to show that they belong.

While ahead they were able to get

to balls ahead of the Huskies.

Freshman Hannes Steinbach was out

with an injured ankle. The Huskies had 

only nine healthy players. Wesley Yates 

led the Huskies for the second game 

in a row with 23. In all they had four 

players in double figures.

Quimari Peterson who has been coming

off the bench played 50 minutes in this

one with players out. He had 15 points.

Desmond Claude who had been hurt

played  35 minutes coming off the

bench. He scored 20 points.

The Huskies I am sure happy not to

play again until Thanksgiving so guys

will get healthy. Go Dawgs!

Look at Washington, Washington State and Gonzaga Men's Basketball

Washington Huskies are off to a good 

start in non-league men's basketball 

action with a 3-1 record. The only loss

is against Baylor

The Huskies face Southern who have

a 2-2 record on Tuesday. The two losses have been to Arkansas and Marquette who are

on the same level as the Huskies.

They have won their last two games

however not to the same level as

the Huskies.  The Huskies have one

more game in November on Thursday 

the 27th against Nevada at home.

Happens to be Thanksgiving.

The  WSU Cougars  men's have two

games remaining in November as well.

The Cougars are getting off to a

rough start with a 1-3 including a loss

to the Huskies last Friday 81-69.

The  Cougars had a roster turnover

both in graduation and the transfer

portal so mostly new guys trying to

get to know each other.

On Wednesday they play home to

Southern Utah.  The Thunderbirds

have a 1-4 record.  Monday night

they lost to Gonzaga 122-50 in

Spokane.  The Zags had a 32 point

lead at halftime however the second 

half was worse for the Thunderbirds 

as the Zags scored 40 more points than them. This allowed the Zags to play six

players off the bench for at least 15

minutes.

The final game for the Cougars in

November will be next Monday.

The game will be against Chaminade.

All know about them is they are NCAA 

division 2 and in Hawaii where the

game will be played.

The Zags have two games remaining

in November as well.  The two games

will take place MGM resort in Nevada.

The first one will be Monday against

11th ranked Alabama. That should be

a great game  to watch.  They put their

5-0 record on the line.  The second 

game will be on Tuest against Maryland.

Go Zags!

 

News Expect Naylor To Return

Sunday word came out that Josh

Naylor is going to sign a five year 

deal with the Seattle Mariners.

Naylor was a major player when 

they traded for him a week before 

the deadline from Arizona. He was 

a major contributor for the Mariners 

making the playoffs and almost

getting into the World Series.

The Mariners made him a priority 

as they don't have a first baseman 

in their minor league system to

come up yet. Had they not signed

him they would have had to sign

another free agent to play first

base or trade for one.

As the saying goes it is best to go

with who you know then try to

find someone who are not sure of.

Naylor became a strong member 

in the middle of the lineup as soon

as he arrived.  He plays solid first

base too. Though he can hit home

runs he can hit a lot of doubles as

well. Also he likes hitting in T-Mobile 

Park as well. We haven't found a lot

in the that category.

Naylor is 28 years old so five years

seems like the right amount of years

for him and the Mariners.

Naylor sees to be a leader and hits

the way the team wants the everyday 

lineup to do so. I hope Julio can

follow suit and hit more the other 

way. I expect Cal will do the same.

Cal hitting 60 home runs on the season 

we can count on pitchers continue

throwing him different. If he can hit

more doubles that will bring his batting 

up and driving in more key runs will

help.

Next on the list will the Mariners pursue

Jorge Polanco and or Eugenio Suarez 

or both. Polanco showed his value

though a bit inconsistent he did do quite

well when the Mariners needed him.

Suarez didn't hit well at T-Mobile Park 

on his return. He is an assit in the

locker room however is that enough.

Do the Mariners want to keep looking

at Ben Williamson for third base.

I believe he can improve at the plate

especially with Naylor returning.  They

seem to be similar type hitters though

Williamson hits right handed instead of

left handed. We know he is playing third.

Polanco will be an assit being dh against

righties and playing second base against

lefties as Cole Young looks to improve.

We have to remember  he is still young of 

age.

See what the Mariners do next. Enjoy

the Hot Stove League.

Rams Beat Seahawks Again

The Seahawks are 0-5  now while facing 

Matthew Stafford at quarterback 

as a Ram. 

It was the Seahawks worst game of the

season and Sam Darnold continues 

to have trouble against the Rams.

Darnold threw four interceptions which

didn't help matters.

The Seahawks were in the red zone 

three times in the first half and had 

to settle for three field goals. They were

down 14-9 at half time.

The final score was Rams 21 Seahawks 19

The Seahawks stop the Rams under two

minutes so had a chance to win anyway.

The Rams punter was able to kick

the ball inside the one yard line to make

it difficult on them. The Seahawks wasted

some time on the clock as. In the end though

Kicker Jason Myers went for a 62 yard 

field goal. It looked like it was long enough

however the ball went way to the right

though so the Seahawks lost.

Next week the Seahawks go to Tennessee 

where the Titans have had a very good

season. The Seahawks have done well 

on the road so we hope they are able

to bounce back.  Go Hawks!

WSU Cougars Win At Home

Saturday evening the Cougars beat

Louisiana Tech easily 28-3. 

The Cougars first score was almost

midway of the first quarter when 

quarterback Zevi Eckhaus threw

a 23 yard touchdown pass to wide

receiver Josh Meredith.

Eckhaus had ran for a touchdown run

at 12:11 of the second quarter. LA

Tech had a field goal to end the first

half. There was no scoring in the third 

quarter.

Eckhaus had another touchdown run 

of one yard early on in the 4th quarter.

Running back Kirby Vorhees ran for

a touchdown for l9 yards to put icing

on the win. He led the Cougars with 

76 yards followed by Eckhaus 56 yards.

Highlights is LA Tech Bulldogs use

two quarterbacks. Evan Bullock mainly

a throwing quarterback completed  four

of ten passes for 36 yards. The other

is Trey Kukuk who is more run first.

He led the Bulldogs with nine carries

for 39 yards. Throwing he completed

five of eight for 24 yards. For a team

that throwing is their game they only 

had 60 yards total.

Another key the Cougars had the ball

just over ten more minutes than the

Bulldogs. They carried the ball on the 

ground 39 times compared to throwing

the ball 25 times. 

The Cougars defense only allowed three

first downs on eleven tries on third downs.

They had three sacks while the offense

wasn't sacked at all. Eckhaus being mobile

ran out of the pocket to pass several times

though the offensive line did a good job

protecting him when he stayed in the

pocket.

Next Saturday the Cougars play at James

Madison and final regular season at

home the following Saturday at home

against Oregon State where they hope

to return the favor after losing at Corvallis.

Go Cougs!

Washington Roll Over Purdue

The Washington Huskies rolled over

Purdue though it did take them a 

little while to score.  

Adam Mohammed scored first 

at 3:30  left in the first quarter on

a one run yard touchdown. He

scored another one yard touchdown 

with just over nine minutes left in

the second quarter. The Huskies 

scored a third time two minutes 

when Jordan Washington ran for

a 68 yard touchdown run. Adam

had his final touchdown for five

yards right before the end of the 

first half.

In the third quarter Desmond Williams Jr 

threw a couple touchdown passes.

Purdue kicked a field goal between 

the Huskies scores.  Huskies defense

did so well they stopped Purdue a

couple times on 4th down and turned

over to the offense.

At the end of the third quarter the

Huskies were leading  42-3. Purdue

kicked a field goal and touchdown 

against the Huskies reserves.  The

Huskies got a final touchdown

when backup quarterback Kai Horton

faked a handoff and ran into the

end zone for a two yard run to make

the final Washington 49 Purdue 13

The Huskies defense did a good 

job stopping the Boilamakers running

game outside of a couple long runs.

In all Purdue had 100 yards on the 

ground.

The Huskies have two games remaining 

on the regular season. Next Saturday

they play UCLA Bruins on the road and

end it the following Saturday at home

against Oregon. Go Dawgs!

The Huskies are 4-3 in Big Ten

Conference play and tied in seventh

place with three other teams. 

Zags and Huskies Both Win

Gonzaga continues to roll along

beating Arizona State in the 

road 77-65.

The Zags went on a ten point

run in the middle of the first 

half which was the difference in 

the game. Before that run it was a 

very close game. In fact ASU

had an early lead.

Again Graham Ike was the Zags

leading scorer with 20 points and 

second in rebounding with nine. 

Tyon Grant-Foster was second 

with  14 points coming off the 

bench and led with 12 rebounds.

Braden Huff had 11 points. Adam

Miller who transferred to Gonzaga

from ASU had ten points.  The Zags

shot 43 percent from the field whikr

ASU shot 36 per cent. Go Zags!

Washington Huskies beat WSU

Cougars   81-69  in Pullman .

The game was tight most of the 

first half until the Huskies went

on eight point run to help them

win the men's basketball Apple 

Cup.

Wesley Yates lll had his best

gamecso far with 26 points.

Also Zoom Diallo had 20 points.

Hannes Steinbach had 14 pts

and dominated with 13 rebounds.

The Huskies shot 48 percent from

the field while Cougars did 43 per cent.

We see how the Huskies and Cougars 

keep going forward. 

Preview LA Tech at Washington State

The Cougars had a bye week after

a 10-7 loss to OSU Beavers. Likely 

the worst offensive game this season.

The Cougars have a record of 4-5. 

They did almost win two games 

that would have been upsets. 

LA Tech is 5-4 overall while 3-3

in Conference USA. They are tied

with Delaware for sixth place. 

This game takes place in Pullman

Saturday night. 

The Cougars are favored by 8.5 points.

This will be the first game against 

each other in football. 

LA Tech is averaging 28.11 points a game

while giving up 18.89 points.

The teams offense is almost split between 

rushing and passing. The running game is 

171. 7 yards and the passing 194.44 yards per game.  For LA Tech best to run on the

ground before passing to win 

Sophomore Blake Baker is LA Tech QB

and he completed 68 percent of his

passes his best game was against 

Western Kentucky  on October 21

when he completed 31 of  45 for 340

yards. It is most passes completed 

and thrown all season. The most 

thrown up and since that game was

26 passes. He has 5 tds and 3 interceptions 

on the season 

Clay Thevenin and Omiri Wiggins are 

the teams two top running backs.

Clay has 94 carries for 529 yards

and 8 touchdowns along 55.89 yardsper game. Omiri has 83 carries for 425 yards

and four touchdowns with average of

44.89 yards per game. Quarterback Blake

is third averaging 32.5 yards per game.

He has run for three touchdowns on the

season too.

LA Tech has only seven catches for

touchdowns. Wide receiver Devin Gandy

is third on the team with 21 catches

however has the highest yardage with

356 and has two touchdowns the only

one with more than a touchdown on the 

season. Tight end Eli Finley has the most catches with 28 and second in yardage 

at 344 however no touchdowns. Margues

Singleton Jr. is second in catches with

23 however has only 155 yards though

he does have a touchdown. 

Though the Cougars are favored they

are averaging 19.89 points a game.

They have only 105.1 yards on the

ground and passes slightly more than

100 yards more in the air.  Though the

Cougars could establish the run it is

likely they will pass the ball more 

The Cougars have only three games

remaining on the season including

this one. To make a bowl game they

will need two wins to do so. Go Cougs!

News came out beginning next year

the new Pac-12 will have games on

the USA network as well. This means 

that four networks will cover Pac-12 

football and basketball games. .

Cal Finishes Second

It is probably  not a big surprise  that Aaron Judge won the MVP since he plays for the New York Yankees  although the Mariners went further in the playoffs  and missed tge World Series on one swing of the bat.

Cal had tge best season  offensively that any

catcher has ever had in the history  of baseball.  It may never happen  again  unless he is the one to do it. Only short coming was his batting average.

This should be less of an award since it is voted on by the media. As we know when it comes down to the hall of fame voting both Ken Griffey Jr.  and Ichiro Suzuki  came one vote short from unanimous.

Cal won the player of the year that was voted on by his peers. I am sure Cal takes that more than this award.

On other Mariners  news they lost another to the  Guardians to their coaching staff. Tony Arnerich  was named as the Guardians new bench coach. He and Guardians  manager  Stephen Vogt are familiar with each other 

the  year he was the M's  bullpen coach. Arnerich wore several hats with the nine 

years he was on the  Mariners staff. 

We wish him the best and we will see 

whether  the Mariners  promote within or bring in another from another organization.

Go M's. 

Preview Purdue at Washington Huskies

The Washington Huskies football team

who were upset last Saturday at Wisconsin 

are favored again this coming  week 

are favored over Purdue at 17 points.

The Huskies were without Jonah Coleman 

last week when he was injured early in the game. Jonah may play against Purdue.

Center Landen Hatchet missed the

Wisconsin game and may this week too.

Huskies top receiver Denzel Boston is

questionable against Purdue. 

Purdue has several players dealing with

injuries as well. Two receivers are out

for the season. De'Nylon Morrissette 

with ankle injury is expected to miss

as well. Starting tight end George

Burhenn is expected to be out. Number

one running back Devin Mockobee who 

has had an ankle injury is expected to

play.

Purdue's offense is averaging 20.9 points 

a game.  The defense is giving up 27 points

a game.  Purdue's record is 0-7 in conference 

while 2-8 on the season.

Sophomore Ryan Browne is the quarterback 

for Purdue. He is completing 60.5 percent

of his passes. Browne has nine touchdowns 

however has eight interceptions. The Huskies 

will to see about causing turnovers 

Running back Mockobee leads Purdue 

with 125 carries for 521 and four touchdowns. Browne is second in carries 

with 60 attempts however 4th in yardage.

He has four touchdowns on the ground

too. 

Michael Jackson lll leads them with 53

catches for 471yards however has only 

one touchdown. Fellow receiver Nitro

Tuggle is second with 26 catches however

363 yards and four touchdowns to lead

them.

The Huskies being home the idea is

they will recupe whether Coleman 

or Boston play limited time. Go Dawgs!

The General Managers Meeting

The major league general managers 

meetings have begun.

The main discussions are between 

the general managers about trades.

What they breed and get there 

We know the Mariners need a first 

baseman for sure. Retaining Josh

Naylor who now is the best choice

is a free agent. We hope the Mariners 

will be willing to pay what is needed.

Jorge Polanco would be the next

choice to retain by dh much of the

time and play second base  when

facing a lefty. This I see against a

tough lefty and how Cole Young is 

doing at the time. We have to see

whether Young is current and future

second baseman.

Eugenio Suarez is the third top free

agent who ended the season in Seattle.

He is very popular among the fans

but he could cost too much for his age.

The Mariners do have Ben Williamson 

who can play third base.

The Mariners need another high 

leverage reliever to go with Matt

Brash and Andre Munoz. See if

they sign a free agent or trade

for one 

Some think the Mariners could use

another outfielder and we will see.

An outfielder is done the list though

if a good one comes fine too.

We see how this works out during

the meetings or before the winter

meetings. Go M's.

WSU Cougars Beat St. Thomas

Monday night the Cougars beat St.

Thomas at home 81-71.

The Cougars had a great first half

with 50 points however we outscoured

in the second half.

The Cougars shot better and out

rebounded St.Thomas for the win.

Only downfall was they had 15

turnovers to 7 for St. Thomas.

The Cougars had three players score 

in double digits while St. Thomas

had two and did most of their scoring. 

They take on the Washington Huskies 

on Friday in Pullman. They need to

cut down on their turnovers. To beat

the Huskies they will need to stop

them inside and cause the Huskies 

to have turnovers.

The  Huskies should be favored however

the Cougars will have to play good defense 

to win. 

We Will Miss You Lenny Wilkens

As a young child even before the

Supersonics became an expansion 

team Lenny Wilkens was my favorite 

player. He was playing for the St.Louis

Hawks before they moved to Atlanta.

When the Supersonics became an

expansion they had Walt Hazzard

on the team. He was my second 

favorite player who the Sonics 

traded to the Hawks for Lenny

Wilkens. I was so excited that

Lenny was coming to Seattle though

sad that Walt was leaving at same

time.

It was exciting that Lenny eventually 

became the player coach for the

Sonics and then eventually traded

to the Cleveland Caveliers. When

his playing career was over Lenny

came back as coach once again

then left once again. The Sonics

win the team's only NBA championship 

under Lenny. 

Bill Russell became coach of the Sonics.

He was another favorite player. I think

why I like Lenny, Walt and Bill  they

were not selfish players and played

basketball the way it should be.

Lenny Wilkens we will miss you. It

was so nice you came back to Seattle 

after your coaching years and did

kind things in Seattle. You have been

a bright spot in the community.

It was nice that Bill Russell made

it his home as well.Rest in peace

Lenny Wilkens from a young kid

those years ago. 

Washington Huskies Men's Lose First Game of the Season

The Washington Huskies men's basketball team played Baylor on the road Sunday

evening. The game was close with the 

Huskies leading for much of the first

Half. Unfortunately Baylor took control 

of the game and the Huskies were unable

to get a lead in the second half.

Final Baylor 78 Washington 69

Zoom Diallo led the Huskies coming 

off the bench with 15 points while

Quimari Peterson had 11. Hannes Steinbach 

and JJ Mandaquit each had 10 points 

starting. Naylor had four starters score

in double figures along with two off 

the bench. 

This coming Friday will be the Apple Cup 

of men's basketball with the Huskies facing

the Cougars in Pullman.  

The Cougars play Monday night at home

against St. Thomas of Minnesota for

their tuneup. 

So far the Huskies have shown the better

if the two teams however this is a rival 

game do anything can happen.

Seattle Win Over Cardinals

Sunday afternoon the Seattle Seahawks 

best the Cardinals for the second time this season 44-22.

The first quarter especially was good for 

the Seahawks where they had three TD's.

The scored quickly when Sam Darnold

threw a touchdown to Jaxon Smith-Njigba 

for 43 yards. It wasn't long before  Seahawks 

caused a gym le by linebacker Tyrice Knight

caused a  fumble on quarterback Jacob

Brissett that defensive end DeMarcus 

Lawrence picked up and ran in for a touchdown. That made it 14-0 in just

over five minutes in the game.

George Holani the Seahawks third

running back scored a touchdown

just before the first quarter ended.

He had seven carries on the day.

The Seahawks scored again earlier 

on in the second quarter where Tyrice 

Knight did almost the same identical 

fumble and again Lawrence picked

it up and went into for the touchdown.

Zach Charbonnet had a touchdown 

in the next possession for six yards 

to make it 35-0. 

The Cardinals finally had a touchdown 

at 2:50 remaining in the first half.

Jason Myers addedex a field goal

to make it 38-7.

That was the most fun and best defense 

I saw from the Seahawks ever in the first

half. 

The game got sloppy by the Seahawks

so the Cardinals scored a touchdown 

in the third quarter. Jason Myers had

another field goal in early 4th quarter.

Marvin Harrison Jr. had a touchdown 

then Myers had his third to end all

the scoring.

The Seahawks  play the Rams in

LA next week. Both teams are 7-2.

Go Hawks

Sad news we heard of the passing of

former Seattle Supersonics player 

and coach Lenny Wilkins. He was one

of the first players I was fond of in

the NBA. We wish his family heart

held thoughts. Thanks Lenny for being

a great role model as well as player 

and coach. We will miss you. Go Sonics!

Gonzaga beats Oklahoma

Saturday night Gonzaga best Oklahoma 

at home 83-68.

The Zags took 21 more shots than

the Sooners and had 7 turnovers

compared to their opponent's 16.

Also the Zags had 17 offensive

rebounds to the Sooners 7.

The reasons for the win. Neither

team shit well behind the 3 pt 

line so no advantage. 

The Zags had four players score 

in double figures. They were led by 

Graham Ike with 19 points along 

with 11 rebounds. Braden Huff

had 13 points and 9 rebounds.

Tyon Grant-Foster had 14 points 

with 7 rebounds and Jalen Warley 

had 13 and 8 both coming off the

bench. 

The Zags next game is on Tuesday

at home against Creighton. We will 

see how they do. 

Huskies Football Lose To Wisconsin

The Washington Huskies lost Saturday afternoon at Wisconsin. Although the

Huskies wer favored it is never easy road.

Wisconsin hadn't won a Big Ten yet

this season either. The weather was

against both teams with snow and

rain.

The Huskies lost Jonah Coleman and

center Hatchet in the first half . Wide

receiver was hurt once again to. Though

he came back in a few times he wasn't 

very effective and couldn't return punts.

The difference in the game was

Wisconsin was able create a turnover

with a block punt. This was after the

the Huskies did the same to them 

Each team has a touchdown after

the block punts.

It looked like the Huskies could tie

the game late in the 4th quarter 

however the Badgers were able to

block a field goal.   The Huskies

we're driving under two minutes 

left in the game however couldn't 

convert a first down. They tried again

with quarterback Desmond Williams Jr 

running the ball but came up real short

instead of throwing the ball. The 

Badgers were able to  run out the clock. 

Badgers 13 Huskies 10

Gonzaga will play Oklahoma

tonight in men's basketball.

Find out here how they did. 

WSU Cougars Lose Again

The Washington State Cougars men's basketball team again gets to a rough

start this time against Davidson on the

road in North Carolina 85-69. This is

the first time these teams have faced 

each other. 

The Cougars only had 24 points in the

first half while Davidson had 40. Both

teams had 45 points in the second 

half. Davidson is a team that loves

shooting behind the 3pt line.

The Cougars had only one player

score in doubles figures in Emmanuel

Ugbo who had 26 points along with

five points.  Ugbo is a transfer from

Boise State. 

For the Cougars to have more success

they need more scoring from  their 

other starters as well as the bench.

The Cougars next game is this coming Monday at home against St.Thomas 

out of Minnesota.  They lost to St. Mary's 

and they play the Army before facing

the  Cougars. 

Preview Arizona at Seahawks

The Seahawks are 6.5 favorites

over the Cardinal. They have

won seven straight over the

Cardinals as well. The Seahawks 

best the Cardinals back in week 4

in Arizona 23-20. The Seahawks 

had a good lead and the Cardinals

almost came back to win. 

The Seahawks are 2-2 at home

while Cardinals are 2-2 on the road

so something will break. The 

Seahawks have won three. Monday 

night the Cardinals broke a five

game winning streak in a row by

beating the Cowboys 27-17. 

Cardinals won with backup QB

Jacoby Brissett playing and is

expected to play again this

Sunday. See what he can do

once again . Go Hawks!

Washington Huskies Men's Basketball Win

For the second game to start the

season the Washington Huskies 

won beating the Denver Pioneers

84-70.

The game was sing degits most

of the first half.  In fact Denver

had the lead a couple times though

only by a couple points. The second 

half the Huskies got the lead into

double digits however the outcome

wasn't decided until the last couple

of minutes in the ball game.

Again the Huskies had a eight man

rotation for most of the game. Seven

of the eight scored in double digits.

Only center Franck Kepnang didn't 

score in double digits. He had only 

two points. Though he started Kepnang 

scored two points in thirteen minutes.

Hannes Steinbach and Wesley Yates 

led the Huskies each with 13 points.

Steinbach led with 16 rebounds.

Denver on the other hand played with

six players most of the way. The

Pioneers had only two players in 

double digits. They were led by 

Logan Kinsley who had 23 points.

This Sunday the Huskies will play

their first road game at Baylor.

This will be the Huskies first big

test and see how good they may

be. Go Dawgs!

Preview Washington Huskies at Wisconsin

The Washington Huskies are now 24th 

ranked after having a bye week. They 

are favored by 12 points at Wisconsin.

The Badgers who have had good seasons 

in recent years has had a bad one this

time. They are 2-6 overall however 0-5

in the Big Ten.  There two latest losses 

were against Ohio State and Oregon. 

The two wins were right at the beginning 

of the season. The schedule won't get

easier after playing the Huskies. The 

Huskies have played the Badgers only

twice winning both easily. The last

game was in 1992. 

The Badgers are averaging 12.5 points 

a game while giving up 23.9 points a game.

So the Huskies being favorites for about

the same margin. 

The Badgers are averaging 109.8  yards

rushing which is ok however throwing 

the ball just over 152 yards which is

low in this day.  The defense is giving up

a yard more than the offense is running however are 230 yards threw the air so

almost 80 yards difference. The trouble 

to is the defense isn't causing any

turnovers while the offense is at 1.5

per game.

Senior Hunter Simmons has started the

last four games at quarterback.Right now 

he is expected to however it isn't a sure

thing. Simmons has thrown only one

touchdown pass which was in the last game 

and the only points against Oregon.

Sophomore Danny O'Neil started the 

first four games so he could get the

nod and true freshman Carter Smith

could as well. We might have to wait

until game time to find out. 

Starting running back Dilin Jones has

been out a few games with injuries.

He is leading with 300 yards on the

season and he has two touchdownd.

Backup running back Darrion Dupree 

has missed action too. Injuries have

been a major reason the Badgers

are having a bad season.  Gideon 

Ituka the third running back is now

the starter. He had the best day

as far as rushing yards this season 

with 85 yards against Oregon. 

When it comes to receivers senior 

Vinny Anthony ll leads in receptions

with 26 catches for 291 yards and

one touchdown.  Senior tight end 

Lance Mason is second with 22 

catches for 276 yards and leads

with three touchdowns. Sophomore 

Trech Kekshina the slot receiver is 

third in receptions with 16 but doesn't 

have any touchdowns. Backup 

receiver Jayden Ballard has only 

seven catches however three are

touchdowns. Outside of Vinny, Trech and Lance no one else has double digits

in receptions.  

The Huskies are 2-1 on the road after

last year where they lost every game.

We hope they will win again then

moving up the conference. Go Dawgs!

Washington Huskies Wins Opener

November means college basketball 

has arrived and the Washington Huskies 

had their season opener on Monday

night at home.

The Huskies have a new crew of players

for the most part. Franck Kepnang 

returning again and hoping for a full

season started at center scoring seven

points with nine rebounds in 23 minutes.

Sophomore Zoom Diallo the only other

returning player was one of five players

who scored in double figures had 14 

points off the bench.  Zoom maybe considered a starter has been nursing 

injury coming into the season. His value

could still be coming off the bench.

He did play 22 minutes however.

Final Huskies 94 Arkansas-Pine Bluff 50

The Huskies were led in scoring by

incoming freshman Hannes Steinbach 

from Germany with 21 points. Steinbach

might be only around one season as he

is considered to be a lottery pick in the

upcoming season. He was expected to

come off the bench as another new Husky 

Jacob Ognacevic was injured in camp

and not expected back until December.

In all the Huskies played eight players.

Another one expected to be a starter

Desmond Claude a transfer from Xavier

has an ankle injury. We could see him

in the Huskies next game though he

could be rested once again. Anyway with

eight playing Monday night the Huskies

look like a solid ten men playing in

rotation when fully healthy. 

Wesley Yates who started at guard and

returned to Washington after a year with

the USC Trojans had 14 points. We could

see him play some time at small forward

when Claude is healthy.  Bryson Tucker 

who started at small forward had 12 

points and led the Huskies with 10 points.

Whether he stays a starter or not he 

is a value to the team. 

Quimari Peterson who looks to be the

backup point guard a transfer from

Indiana State had 13 points in 19 

minutes so can be offense needed

coming off the bench. In fact he made

4 out I from behind the three point line.

JJ Mandaquit  a true freshman started at point guard.He had only four points however had eight assists which is his strength and

had four rebounds as well. Against 

tougher competition we will see how

he does.

Latham Somerville is the 8th player

who played for the Huskies Monday

night. He is a transfer from Rutgers 

and Latham will split time at center

with Kepnang. He had nine points

going with five rebounds.

Besides Peterson, Yates and Tucker 

were the primary shooter behind 

the 3 pt line each making two.

In all the Huskies made 10 out of

25. We see if that continues.

The Huskies next game will be 

against the Denver Pioneers on

Thursday night. They lost their 

opening game Monday night 

playing at Seattle  U. 84-73 in 

their season opener.

Go Dawgs.

The WSU Cougars lost their season 

opener at home Monday night to

Idaho 83-81. They had two starters

and two off the bench who scored

in double figures. Three of the four

had 17 points each while Jerone

Morton starting had 14.

The Cougars had three starters who

combined for eight points. We will see

whether a change will be made in

the starting lineup coming up. The 

Cougars next game will be Friday

at Davidson. They won their opener

at home Monday night over DeSales

97-63. This should be another tough

game for the Cougars.

Gonzaga won their season opener 

Monday night easily at home over

Texas Southern 98-43. The Zags had

three starters scoring in double 

figures. The three only played just

over half of the game. Guard Tyon

Grant-Foster led with 25 points 

while Braden Huff had 14 and 

Graham Ike had 13 along with 

leading with 11 rebounds.

Adam Miller and Davis Fogle

look like instant offense off the

bench. Milker had 13 points while

Fogle had 11.

The Zags next game will be home

against Oklahoma who beat St.

Francis PA Monday night 102-66 

on Saturday night. Go Zags!

Seahawks Win On the Road Again

The Seahawks beat Commanders

38-14 in Washington DC.

The Seahawks continue to do well

on the road being undefeated so far

this season and ten in a row.

Sam Darnold had a great night 

completing ten in a row. He had 

an interception on the night though

the Seahawks had a comfortable 

lead. His worse throw of the night.

He had only three miscomplete 

passes on the night and four

touchdown passes.  How he is 

doing right now we should keep 

him.

Though he had no touchdowns 

Jaxon Smith-Njigba had eight

catches for 229 yards.  Rookie

Tory Horton had two of the

touchdown catches on four

receptions. 

The defense has a good night as

well. Though they gave up 158

yards on the ground they only

the two touchdowns. Also they

had four sacks. 

The Seahawks had only 88 yards

on the ground with Ken Walker lll 

and Zach Charbonnet splitting 

it up though Walker had 11 carries

to Zach 8.  The Seahawks can look

to improve more on the ground it

is still helping the passing game.

The Seahawks are now 6-2 and

still tied with the Rams.  Next

week they are home against the

Arizona Cardinals on Sunday who

plays the Cowboys tomorrow on

Monday night football.

Go Hawks!

Beavers Beat Cougars

It has been a tough year for the Beavers

losing their first seven games of the season 

and fired their coach. Now they have won

two games.  See what they do the rest

of the way. They do play the Cougars 

again in the final regular season game.

Final Beavers 10 Cougars 7

Both teams were scoreless in the first 

quarter then the Beavers kicked a field.

goal in second quarter. Cougars had a 

touchdown to take the lead before the

first half ended.

Neither team scored in the third quarter.

Beavers running back Anthony Hankerson who had a big game  scored a touchdown 

at the 9:52 mark of the 4th quarter. It 

looked like near the end of game the

Cougars may win the game however 

the Beavers made an important stop 

so with a minute left it look the Cougars

would tie and possibly go into overtime.

The Cougars though missed the field 

goal.

The Cougars still had a chance with

time outs however when needed 

Hankerson ran for a first down and

they just had to kneel.

The Cougars are now 4-5.  They have

a bye week before playing Louisiana 

Tech in Pullman on November 15.

Go Cougs!
