Seahawks Free Agency so far 2026

In recent days with free agency beginning 

they have made a few moves so far 

Ken Walker III was not resigned and

went to the Kansas City Chiefs. He said

in press conference he wasn't happy 

about his playing time during the 2025

season. Of course they had Zach Charbonnett as well before he was hurt during the 

playoffs.  The MVP of the Super Bowl 

I can understand his frustration. The

question to is did they use him right as well.

He should have been used in the passing game a bit more too.

The Seahawks signed Green Bay Packers

running back Emmanuel Wilson. He is big so

likely do Zach work until he is ready. George 

Halini may have the job starting. Seahawks 

may draft a running back in the second draft

More Seahawks news later. Go Hawks!

Mariners End Losing Streak and Zags Go To Portland

The Seattle Mariners ended their

losing streak beating the Cincinnati 

season on Sunday 6-3. George 

Kirby said that the Reds were 

aggressive against him. He went 

four and two-thirds innings giving 

up two runs.

Andre Munoz was back from the 

WBC. He pitched the sixth and 

struck out three. Matt Brash pitch 

two-thirds of an inning and struck 

out two.

Randy Arozarena was back too. He 

batted second. No hits but two walks 

and scored a run.  Brendan Donovan 

had a big day going four for and driving 

in three runs. He could be difference 

this coming season for the Mariners.  

The Mariners big inning was the fifth 

where they scored five runs 

The Mariners won't play on Monday 

and Tuesday they will have split 

squad games. With United States 

and Dominican Republic playing 

Sunday night in the semis they

will have someone back on 

Tuesday. 

In the NCAA tournament Gonzaga 

will be the number three seed in 

the West region and play Kennesaw 

State number 14 on Thursday in 

Portland. I am sure the Zags will 

have a big crowd on hand. Go Zags!

Angels Beat Mariners Saturday

Again the Mariners lost 6-2 this time to

the Angels. Logan Gilbert put in his

tine. He went 2 and 2/3 innings. He 

gave up six hits and two runs. I am sure

he was working on some things. The

importance is getting ready for the 

season.

Come Young is looking good including

a couple hits and has done so the last

week or so. Colt Emerson had a

couple hits too.  Leo Rivas started at

third base. Last season he didn't play

third at all. Most likely he will be the

Mariners utility player so getting some

reps at third is a good idea. We still

not sure how JP Crawford is really

doing. Hard to know whether Colt 

Emerson will start the season in

Seattle or not.

During the season we will give you

the stars of the game and how guys 

are doing.  We are hoping to see 

whether Julio Rodriguez gets off

to a good start. With Cal Raleigh 

now being the franchise player 

and the Mariners signing Josh

Naylor to  a free agent contract 

for five we are hoping that Julio

can be himself. Now at 25 years 

old he is starting to see maturity 

and we hope to see his best season 

coming forward. Looking at his

stats they all look good but most

of what he has done has been after

the all-star break at least offensively.

Julio has been steady playing defense

all the way. We are hoping a good 

season beginning the regular season 

that starts in less than two weeks.

Go M's.

Mariners Lose Friday To Dodgers

Kade Anderson got off to a rough

start in his third start of the spring.

He gave up a three run homer to

former Mariner Teoscar Hernandez.

Kade settled down after that going

three innings and not giving up

another run.

The Mariners actually tied the game

in the second inning. The game was

silent until the sixth inning when the

Dodgers scored six runs. It started

with new Dodger Kyle Tucker hit a

solo home run off of reliever Robinson 

Ortiz who ended up giving up four the

runs without recording an out.

The Mariners scored a single run in

the 7th.  The Dodgers scored their

final run in the top of the 9th.

Colt Emerson hit a three run homer 

in the bottom of the 9th to make it

closer than it really was. 

The Mariners will play the Angels 

Saturday afternoon in their park.

Logan Gilbert will start for the 

Mariners.

The United States beat Canada

7-5 in the WBC.  The Canadians 

did have the tying runs on second

and third in the 7th inning however

United States didn't allow another 

run.

The United States will take on

the Dominican Republic on Sunday. 

Go USA. 

Chicago Cubs Beat Mariners Thursday

The Cubs beat the Mariners 7-4 on

Thursday.  Emerson Hancock went

four innings giving up four hits

and two runs He didn't walk a batter

once again however struck out five. 

Pitcher Josh Simpson gave up three

runs in the 7th to make the difference. 

At this point it doesn't look good

for him as the Mariners don't have many openings in the bullpen. 

Minor league player for the Mariners Colin

Davis had the big hit having a three run 

homer in the 8th. 

The Mariners take on the LA Dodgers 

Friday night in Peoria. The starting 

pitchers are not announced yet 

With Mexico out of WBC we should 

be seeing Andre Munoz and Randy 

Arozarena soon. Munoz pitched the

final inning Wednesday. He should be 

in camp soon but his next outing we

will see.  Go Mariners!

Narrow Loss By Washington Huskies

The Washington Huskies had to make

another comeback to have a chance 

to beat a very good team in Wisconsin.

The odds 8 against them since they 

had only seven healthy players. The

Badgers beat the Huskies 85-82 after

Washington had to come back from

another double digit deficit.

Freshman Hannes Steinbach led the 

Huskies with 25 points and 16 points.

Most likely the Huskies season has

ended. Steinbach was the Huskies 

best player. He was named third team

in  Big Ten and first team freshmen.

Expect Steinbach not to return since

word is he will likely be a lottery pick

in the NBA. We thank him so much.

One of the best freshmen the Huskies 

have. 

Zoom Diallo had 24 points. Both he 

and Steinbach made ten field goals.

Quimari Peterson had 14 points. A

senior he average nine points. Some 

of the season Peterson did a good 

job coming off the bench then injuries 

happened where he became more 

value. The Huskies will have to see

where they can pick up someone

to take his spot. 

Wesley Yates had only six points 

making one out of  six shots. Had

he made two more shots they may 

have won but I wouldn't li that on

him. Yates and Diallo should be

key players next season going in

as juniors. 

Courtland Muldrew a freshman had 

eight points and playing 31 minutes.

He played limited action being in 18

games.  JJ Mandaquit another freshman 

who missed this game played in 22 games

and average 5.2 a game. He started some

games early on in the season.  Both 

these two could be keys to next year's

team as well if they return.

Having more healthy team next year

will be good. Playing in the Big Ten

isn't easy.  Go Dawgs!

Wednesday Mariners Lose To Colorado

The Seattle Mariners lost to the

Colorado Rockies Wednesday 

11-7. 

Luis Castillo started and three

and a third innings. He gave up 

one run on two hits. Matt Bradysde 

his first appearance of the spring 

giving up run. He should be ready 

when the season begins.

Seven of the runs happened when

the Rockies scored off of Casey

Lawrence who likely played for the

Rainier's in Tacoma. He adds depth

in case the Mariners need a starter

or reliever during the season. 

There are others ahead of him but

he could come up for one appearance 

if necessary.

Cole Young was the Mariners player

of the game having three hits include

a home run and driving in three. He

batted 7th  in the order. JP Crawford 

made his second appearance 

at shortstop in the spring where he had

a couple of hits while batting 6th.

Emerson Hancock will start Thursday 

for the Mariners on Thursday. Go M's.

Washington Huskies Beat USC in Overtime

The Washington Huskies had beaten the

USC Trojans twice before this one in

the Big Ten Tournament.  The Huskies 

are shorthanded having only seven

scholarship player available because 

of injuries. 

The Trojans led most of the first half

and at a time led by 15 points. It look

a bit hopeless though the Huskies 

did well in the second half getting back

to a tie. 

The Trojans did a good job on Hannes Steinbach as he had ten points with 

seven in the first half. He did have eleven 

rebounds so another double. Zoom

Diallo led the Huskies with  22 points.

He shot seven for 20.  Wesley Yates 

and Quimari Peterson each had 15.

Peterson made all his points behind the

3 point line going five for ten.

The Huskies will take on number five

Wisconsin on Thursday again at 11:30

am. Go Dawgs 

Mariners Beat Royals Tuesday Gonzaga Men Win Too

The Seattle Mariners won a close spring

training game in Peoria Tuesday afternoon 

4-3.  The Mariners have another season 

of games with the winner by one run it

is a good idea to start in spring. We do

hope more wins with at least two run

difference with the Mariners winning 

but we can take we can get. 

Cooper Criswell had his second outstanding 

game starting in a row for the Mariners.

Criswell went three and one-third innings

giving up two hits, no runs, no walks and

five hits.  He won't be in the starting rotation 

unless  there are injuries.  He could be a

reliever starting the season. If so he would 

be a long reliever. Emerson Hancock though

right now looks to be the first guy to start 

if the Mariners need a starter.

The  Mariners scored a run in the second 

inning and two more in the fourth.  The

Royals tied the game on a three run

home run in the sixth inning off a Mariners 

minor leaguer. The Mariners scored the

4th run in the bottom of the sixth.

The Mariners bottom of the order did

most of the damage.  The four runs 

didn't include any home runs.

The Mariners play the Colorado Rockies 

Wednesday in Peoria. No scheduled 

starting pitcher as of yet however the

Mariners could start Kade Anderson 

once again. If so we could Ryan Sloan 

pitch as well. Go Mariners!

In college men's basketball Gonzaga beat

Santa Clara in the West Coast Conference 

championship game  79-68. The game 

wasn't as easy as the score shows. 

Santa Clara led by four points at halftime.

The Zags didn't take the lead until

halfway in the second half. 

Mario Saint-Supéry led the Zags with

21 points. What helped the Zags as

he made 6 of 12 shots all 3 point shots.

That doesn't happen often especially 

on the Zags. Tyon Grant-Foster came

off the bench with 20 points. He made 

seven of eleven from the field but only

two out of three from three point line.

Graham Ike the team's leading scorer

on the season had 15 points. Santa 

Clara was able to stop Ike with having

four rebounds but the rest of the

players made up for it.

Winning the West Coast Conference tournament the Zags qualified for the

NCAA tournament. We will find out

on Sunday who will play in the

tournament. 

Washington Huskies play USC Trojans 

in the Big Ten Tournament first round 

Wednesday morning at 11:30 am.

The Huskies beat the Trojans twice 

on the season so see if they can do

it a third time.  Huskies are the 12th

seed while Trojans are 13. Go Dawgs!

Gonzaga In WCC Tournament Championship

Gonzaga men's beat Oregon State 

in the semifinals of the WCC 

Tournament Monday 65-56.

They play Santa Clara who beat

St. Mary's in an upset 76-71.

The Zags led by 14 at halftime.

The closest the Beavers got 

in the second half was ten points.

The Zags shot 48.2 percent from

the field while the Beavers shot 

33.8. Neither team shot well from 

beyond the 3 point line. Most of

the season the Zags were not a 

good 3 point shooting team.

Graham Ike had 24 points for the 

Zags. He made 10 of 17 from the

field. Ike had 11 rebounds as well.

No one else scored in double figures.

The Beavers had two  players  in double

figures scoring.  Together they had 

one more point than the Zags.

Santa Clara shot better than St.Mary's

from the field. The difference was three

point shooting. Only kept St. Mary's 

in the game was foul shooting.

The Zags defense will have to stop

Santa Clara from making 3 point shots.

Go Zags!

Seahawks Free Agency and Mariners Lose Monday

The Seahawks ended up losing Ken

Walker III  as expected and it was 

to the Kansas City Chiefs who signed

him to a three contract. If it wasn't 

for the loss of Zach Charbonnett for 

next season to injury it may not have

been as big of a deal.  We do hope

we see Zach before the end of next 

season.

The Seahawks lost a couple of defensive 

players to including defensive back

Colby Bryant to the Chicago Bears.

He did quite well moving from corner 

to safety as  well as staying healthy.

The beginning of his career he had the

problem being healthy. 

The Seahawks resigned cornerback 

Josh Jobe to a multi year contract 

as they did punt returner/wide receiver 

Rashid Shaheed.  The contract for

Shaheed was $17 million a year. Expect 

the Seahawks use him in multiple ways.

We might see him more out of the 

backfield though his punt returner can

make big difference in field position.

The Seahawks likely lose a few more 

and add as well. They will likely sign 

or trade for a running back. Drafting 

a running back possibly in the second

round is a possibility.

In baseball the Mariners lost Monday 

afternoon in walkoff fashion to the 

Diamondbacks 2-1. Arizona had a 

runner on second with two outs when

pop fly went beyond Colt Emerson 

at short. The game would have ended

in a tie otherwise. 

Bryan Woo started the game for the

Mariners and was happy with his 

outing.  Woo went four innings give

up one run in the 4th inning. Brendan Donovan did well getting two hits 

in the game. He is looking good 

so far. JP Crawford made his first

start at shortstop in the spring. We

hope he will be ready to go when

the season begins. Go M's.

George Kirby Looks Good In Mariners Loss

The Seattle Mariners lost to the 

Milwaukee Brewers Sunday afternoon 

6-3. 

The Mariners scored first on a Leo

Rivas two run homer in the second 

inning. Rivas at this point looks 

like to be their utility player.  He

likely play second and shortstop 

most of the time. Shortstop would

depend on whether Colt Emerson 

is on the opening day roster or not.

Even if Colt starts the season in

the minors he will be on the Mariners 

at some point in the season. 

George Kirby started and pitched three 

plus innings giving up two hits including 

a double in the fourth to the first hitter.

Troy Taylor who is struggling came in 

to replace Kirby. He got an out then 

gave up a single that drove in a runner 

that was recorded as a run to Kirby.

Troy then gave up a three run home run

before being lifted. He was given the

loss in the game. 

Josh Simpson who the Mariners 

acquired from the Miami Marlins

during the off-season gave up two

runs on two hits and two walks. 

 Brennan Davis hit a solo home run

for the Mariners in the sixth inning

to end all the scoring. David is having

a good season. Most likely he will 

start the season in triple A however 

if the Mariners have any injuries in

the outfield we may see him this

season.

The Mariners take on the Arizona 

Diamondbacks Monday afternoon in

Scottsdale with Bryan Woo on the

mound. Go M's 

 

Washington Huskies Lose Final Regular

The Washington Huskies men's basketball 

team game Saturday was a bit crazy at 

Oregon and in the end lost 85-79.

The Oregon Ducks got hot right off

the bat making 7 of 7 outside the 

three point line. This allowed them 

to be ahead by 21 points in the middle 

of the first half. They led the Huskies

by 14 at half time. 

The Huskies went on a 29-8 run in

the second half to take a three point

lead with 28 seconds left in the game.

The Ducks won primarily because Huskies head coach Danny Sprinkle went crazy when Hannes Steinbach had to foul after a ball 

was stolen with three seconds left in the

game. Sprinkle thought that Steinbach 

was fouled then was charged with two

technical fouls. The Ducks ended up

making five of six foul shots for the

victory.  It shows how important to

keep your cool.

Steinbach led the Huskies with  26 points

and 13 rebounds. He led the charge when

the Huskies went on their run despite 

having three fouls during most of that 

time.  Steinbach is tied for second in

double doubles in the nation with 20.

A major reason he is likely going to be a

lottery pick in the upcoming NBA draft.

Now both the Huskies and Ducks will

have to see what their pairing will be

in the first round of the Big Ten Tourn-

ament coming up next week. The Huskies 

actually have a better record than the

Ducks so they likely will be set higher. 

Michigan has the regular season title

followed by Michigan State, Nebraska,

Illinois and Wisconsin making the top

five in the conference. Those five

should make the NCAA tournament.

The Huskies real chance is winning 

the Big Ten Tournament. Go Dawgs!

White Sox Beat Mariners Saturday

I have to say if the Mariners going to

lose to the White Sox spring training 

is the best time.

Logan Gilbert pitched well going 

four innings and not giving up a

run and only two hits. Carlos Vargas

went an inning and gave up the 

first run. Jose Ferrer went an inning 

without giving up a run. The rest of

the pitching was minor leaguers.

Though not much scoring going on

Brendan Donovan had a couple hits.

Mitch Garver started at catcher and 

had a hit. Still not sure who will be

the backup catcher. Dan Wilson 

would like to see Cal have more

rest behind the plate this season.

At this point the offense from the

back up catcher does not look 

like a whole lot. 

The Mariners play Milwaukee on the

road Sunday.  The time change means

the game will be at 1 pm on radio only 

George Kirby will start for the Mariners.

In college men's basketball the Washington State Cougars lost Friday night against 

Portland 74-68.  Portland's big win was 

earlier over Gonzaga. It has been not a

good season for the Cougars. It will be

interesting to see what happens over

the off-season with the transfer portal.

The Cougars will be playing in the new

Pac-12. Gonzaga should be the one 

favored next season. Go Cougs!.

The Washington Huskies play final regular 

season against the Oregon Ducks Saturday 

night. Ducks have done well recently so

could be tough game to end the regular 

season. Go Dawgs!

Seattle Mariners Bounce Back Friday

The Seattle Mariners beat the Texas 

Rangers on their spring training field 

5-1. It was way different than Thursday 

game which is overstated.

Cole Young was the player of the

game for the Mariners with two

home runs and three rbis. The 

Mariners want to be sure he hits 

more fast balls. I figured he listened.

Kade Anderson started and went three

innings and gave up one hit and no

walks. Emerson Hancock continues

having a good spring training. He

went three innings giving up three 

hits, one run, no walks and four strike 

outs. The Mariners used Robinson 

Ortiz a lefty they acquired from the

LA Dodgers last November. He could

be the third lefty. Most likely he will

be the eighth reliever if he makes

the opening roster. 

Logan Gilbert starts Saturday against 

the White Sox. With the time change

on Sunday the afternoon games will

begin right after 1 pm.  Go M's. 

Mariners Blown Out Thursday Afternoon

The Seattle Mariners were more than 

blown out though that was a good 

word since the winds were high

on Thursday afternoon. When you see 

the score a good reason for a mercy

rule in even major league baseball.

Final Padres 28 Mariners 6

This was the second most runs ever

in a major league spring training 

game. The Mariners were close too.

Luis Castillo to who started gave up

six runs in the second inning. Minor

leaguer Tyler  Cleveland gave up

five runs. Both got out only one run.

The Mariners gave up one more run

yo finish the inning. The Mariners 

actually got two runs in the bottom 

of the second. The Mariners ended

up using nine pitchers with each 

giving up at least one run.

I thought maybe Raley and Robles

would play however only Raley did

with three at bats but no hits.

About it for that game. We hope for

better conditions and pitching.

Friday the Mariners take on Texas

in the afternoon. Kade Anderson 

will make his second start for

the Mariners. See how far he goes

this time. Go M's.

Huskies Win Big Wednesday Night

Wednesday night was the final home

game of the season. The Washington 

Huskies men's basketball team dominated

the second half scoring 51 points

to the USC Trojans 29 points.

Final Washington 91 USC 72 points

Zoom Diallo led Huskies with 26 points

making 11-19. Freshman Hannes Steinbach 

who likely played his last game at home

scored 22 points and dominated with 24

rebounds.  Steinbach is expected to be a

lottery pick coming up in the next NBA 

draft .

The Huskies shot 48.1 percent from the

field while the Trojans shot 37.5.

The score could have been worse however

the Trojans made ten more than the

Huskies at the foul line.

The Huskies final regular season game

will be Saturday on the road against the 

Oregon Ducks.  Go Dawgs!

Mariners Lose Wednesday Night

Right now we know that spring training games don't have a lot of meaning

except for those are trying to make 

the teams.

San Francisco Giants won 9-4

With several position players along

with relievers Andre Munoz and Gabe

Speier are in the World Baseball Classic.

Action on that has started.

Cooper Criswell who the Mariners 

signed during the off-season started

and had his best outing so far went

three innings giving up two hits and

no runs. He makes the opening roster

he likely will be the seventh of eighth 

reliever to begin with.  He is considered

one guys to start if one of the Mariners

five starters go down with an injury.

Currently Emerson Hancock is considered 

the first pitcher to go into the rotation 

if a starter does go down. His experience 

being in the bullpen in September gives

him an edge starting there when the season 

begins. We have no idea what the Mariners 

are thinking in that regard. Really doesn't 

look like a lot of candidates besides Hancock

and Criswell are being impressive in camp

among relievers. Both making opening

day roster we could see them go at least 

a couple of innings in each outing if necessary. 

The Giants runs were off Carlos Vargas 

and Jose Ferrer for the most part. Both

are expected to be on the opening roster.

Vargas job again will be coming in the

sixth or seventh inning. He had a lot of

appearances last year being in 70 innings.

A lot of that happened because the Mariners 

had trouble with the seventh and eighth

spots in the bullpen. We hope a change 

there this coming season. 

Ferrer who the Mariners acquired when

they traded catcher Harry Ford to the

Washington Nationals. Ferrer is expected

to be the second lefty to Gabe Speier.

Depending when Speier is needed we

could see Ferrer sometimes in the 8th 

inning or possibly close on occasion 

when Munoz isn't available. This I

expect would depend on how many

left handed hitters will be up. Matt

Brash is expected to be the main

reliever in the 8th and occasion in

the 9th. All depends how close the

game is.

As far as position players go Cole

Young started at second base and

led off. I am sure the Mariners wanted

him to get enough at bats. He had a

hit and drove in one of the Mariners.

JP Crawford who has been dealing

with his arm in spring was the dh

having a couple at bats. He didn't 

have a hit although he did drive in

two runs. Leo Rivas who is expected 

to be the utility player started at shortstop.

If JP is able to be started at short when

the season begins we could see Rivas

playing some there early on along with

second base. We hope that JP injury

doesn't continue to bother him early 

on which could see Colt Emerson in

the lineup at short. 

Brendan Donovan is expected to start

at third however if Emerson does start

the season with the Mariners we could 

see him at third as well as shortstop. 

We won't know more for two more weeks 

when we are close to the opener. 

With Julio Rodriguez and Randy Arozarena 

being in the WBC Classic the Mariners

went all with minor leaguers. Dominic Canzone is also playing for team Italy 

in the WBC. Luke Raley and Victor Robles 

who are in camp didn't play against the

Giants. Could see both in Thursday game.

Wednesday night former Mariner Robbie 

Ray started for the Giants. He went two and two-thirds giving up two hits and a run.

He is expected to be in the Giants rotation.

Thursday afternoon Luis Castillo is expected 

to start against the San Diego Padres.

Let you know how it goes. 

Former Washington Husky Dealt To Rams

The Kansas City Chiefs traded cornerback 

Trent McDuffie to the Los Angeles Rams.

McDuffie left the Huskies after three

years and was drafted by the Chiefs in

the first round.

McDuffie was a excellent punt returner

for the Huskies as well as cornerback.

He is going into his last season of his

rookie contract and word is the Rams 

will sign him to long term contract too.

The Rams traded their 2026 first round

pick and  three other picks to the Chiefs. 

Missing the playoffs for the first time

in several years the Chiefs look to be

rebuilding in a way. McDuffie was hurt

and missed the end of the season.

The Rams obviously feel he is worth

the risk.

The Rams know that the Seahawks 

are a young team and though the

Super Bowl champion could be the

leader of the  division the next few

years though could lose a few free

agents.  The Seahawks are expected 

to sign wide receiver Jaxon Smith-

Njigba during the off-season to a

long term contract. This is likely 

the reason the Rams picked up

McDuffie.

For the Huskies fans means seeing

McDuffie at least twice a season 

and we hope in the playoffs as well.

The matchup between Jaxon and

Trent could be great.  Go Hawks!

Woo Starts However Mariners Lose

Bryan Woo went two and a third 

innings on Tuesday afternoon for

the Mariners.

First couple innings he did fine.

Had a walk and four strike outs.

A minor leaguer coming in first

to finish the inning hasn't helped.

The Angels won 7-6 however had

three runs in the ninth inning off

of minor league pitching as well.

JP Crawford made his first appearance 

since the beginning of training camp.

JP dh had two at bats including a

walk. Mitch Garver caught as well.

He had one hit. Not sure he will

open the season with the Mariners 

but we could see him at some point.

The Mariners have a night game

on Wednesday at the San Francisco 

Giants. They won't have another 

night game until March 13 against

the LA Dodgers. Go M's 

Seattle Seahawks Going Forward

The Seattle Mariners are not playing 

Monday in spring training as one of

two days off. So here we go on the

Seahawks. 

Winning the Super Bowl a team can't 

go higher though I am sure they will

try to be better so they can repeat as

champions which is never easy.

The Seahawks will likely lose a few

players to free agency and who knows

maybe retirement or releases.

Ken Walker III who was the MVP of 

the Super Bowl could be one of those

guys. All comes down to how much

another team is willing to pay him.

They do have a few on defense as well 

but with the defense they have  they

should find away to still be good. 

They might have to replace but we

will see that over the season.

Zach Charbonnett was hurt in the

first game of the playoffs and might

not play at all next or if he does will

be late in the season. He would have

been the starter otherwise. 

The Seahawks have other running

backs however no one they would 

consider being a starter or would 

have seen more action in the playoffs.

If Walker does go elsewhere the

Seahawks will go out and find someone.

Both Walker and Charbonnett were

second round picks so even bringing

in another running back they may take

another on in the second round of

sooner.

There is talk that the Seahawks may

draft another wide receiver in the

first round to go with Jaxon Smith-

Njigba.  Cooper Kupp is expected 

back and he would be good to work

with that receiver.  A thought is if

he is available that receiver could

be former Washington Husky Denzel 

Boston. 

If Denzel already taken could see

the Seahawks taking another 

offensive lineman to play on the

right side at guard.  The Seahawks 

have four draft picks as of now.

The first, second, and third rounds 

plus the sixth round.  Likely they

will add some more picks. So we 

will see what happens there. 

On the Washington Huskies football

they lost their offensive coordinator.

At this point they are not replacing 

him according to head coach Jedd 

Fisch.  So Fisch will continue play

calling and the position coaches 

will do what they do. I guess we

will see how that works out  Go Dawgs!

Rangers Beat Mariners Sunday

The Mariners scored first with half

the runs on the day on a home run

by second baseman Cole Young.

The Mariners were without the

players who are going to play in

the World Baseball Classic. 

Final was Rangers 9 Mariners 4

Logan Gilbert pitched fine giving

up a solo home run in the second

inning. He went 2 and 2/3  innings. 

A top pitching prospect pitched 

a single inning in the 4th.  Gabe 

Mosser signed a minor league 

contract pitched the fifth giving 

up five runs on seven hits. 

The Mariners won't play Monday 

so next game with be against

the Los Angeles Angels in Peoria. 

The season will start on March 26.

Minor leaguers have reported so

soon we will see players who are in

major league camp be sent own. 

Whoever makes the end of the 

roster we won't know for a bit of

time. Go M's.

Gonzaga and WSU Both Lose

Gonzaga who had been undefeated 

after losing to Portland in their first

game of the season lost to St. Mary's 

on the road 70-59. This means these 

two teams end the West Coast 

Conference season in a tie at 16-2. 

St. Mary's dominated the action

down the stretch winning very easily.

The Zags led by seven at halftime.

In the second half the Zags only 

scored 23 points while Sy. Mary's 

had 41.

Neither team shot well from the 

field however the Zags couldn't 

stop St. Mary's making 3 point 

shots. They made 16 of 33 behind

the line while Zags made 5 of 17. 

The Zags were led by Graham Ike 

with 17 points with two other

starters scoring double figures.

What didn't help the Zags was

only 8 points off the bench as 

they played seven players.  The 

two players off the bench played

a combined 47 minutes. 

Now they wait to see who they

play in the WCC tournament.

It begins on March 5. 

The WSU Cougars lost to 

Pepperdine Saturday 88-79.

The score difference at halftime 

wasn't much difference. The

Cougars I am sure wish that 

they had played a better season. 

Ace Glass who has had a very

good season as a freshman led

the Cougars with 22 points. The

Cougars had ND Okafor with 15

points and 10 rebounds to lead

then in school. 

This has been a terrible record

this year for the Cougars.  They

finish 8th with a conference

record of 7-11.  We will have to

see how the  Cougars do in the

Conference tournament. 

Kade Anderson Makes Professional Debut

Kade Anderson made his debut 

Saturday afternoon against the 

San Diego Padres. The first 

round pick of the Mariners in

2025 showed what he was 

capable of by striking out the

side in the first inning.

In the second inning he did give

up two hits and  before being lifted.

Houston Roth who the Mariners 

signed to a minor league contract 

during the off-season came in 

for Anderson. He was able to get

two outs but had four hits. Two

runs scored went to Anderson 

while three went to him. He walked

a batter.  Peyton Alford came in

and got the final out. 

Emerson Hancock came in and

went two and two-thirds innings 

get all right batters be faced out

including striking out four. Have

to say Emerson looks like he is

ready to go.  News came out that

Bryce Miller won't make his next

start as a precaution. Emerson 

looks like he will be the sixth 

starter when needed.  He should 

be in the bullpen before then. 

Final was Padres 7 Mariners 1

The Mariners plsying in the World 

Baseball Classic will be heading 

out on Sunday. Be ready for it Cal

Raleigh caught all nine innings

Saturday. Go M's.

On Sunday the Mariners will play

the Texas Rangers in Peoria.

Monday will be their first day off

of two during training camp.

In men's basketball the Washington 

Huskies Saturday lost to Wisconsin 

at home 90-73. The Badgers are

the sixth best team in the tough

Big Ten. They are 20-9 overall 

while the Huskies are 14-15.

Wisconsin scored 15 points in

the first half before the Huskies 

held their own in the second half

scoring two more points than the

 Badgers.

The difference in the game was

the Badgers made 13 more points

behind the 3 point line. Both shot

about the same in the field. I

would say the Huskies failed in

that manner.   Hopefully the defense 

will get better against teams that 

shoot a lot from 3 point line.

The Huskies will be at home on

Wednesday against the USC Trojans

then the regular season ends next

Saturday in Eugene against the

Oregon Ducks. We hope to see

success against them as the Big

Ten Tournament begins after that.

Hannes Steinbach had 22 points 

making 8 of 11 in field goals while

Zoom Diallo had 21 making 9 of 15.

They were the only Huskies to score

in double figures. Go Dawgs 

Mariners Lose First Night Game

The Seattle Mariners were beaten by

Arizona in the first spring game at

night.

It wasn't much of an offensive game

for one of the few games so far.

Arizona 3 Mariners 1

Luis Castillo went one and one-thirds

innings in his first start. He gave up

the three runs in the second inning

on a homer run. The Mariners one

run was driven in by Cole Young 

in the 7th inning. The Mariners had

six hits on the night. 

Mariners take on San Diego on

Saturday afternoon. 

Julio Rodriguez Heading Into His 5th Season

Those who are seeing Julio at training

camp say he is acting more mature 

heading into his 5th season for the 

Mariners. 

The season Cal Raleigh had last season 

puts pressure off of Julio as well. Having

Josh Naylor for a full season hitting 

behind him will help. 

Julio is hitting well so far in spring games

so far. Going to the World Baseball Classic 

for the Demonican Republican should 

help as well.

We know his defense is always good 

if he isn't hitting well. He is averaging 

31 home runs a season with a .274 

batting average and 91 rbs as well.

We get critical of him since he usually 

starts out slow. What if he gets off

to a good start his numbers will be

creater this season. The Mariners

could win the division easily too.

The Mariners starters are more

healthy and adding another good

reliever will make it great too. 

Go M's . 

Mariners Win Offensive Game

Thursday the Mariners beat the Cleveland Guardians 8-7. Offense is still happening. 

The Mariners scored two runs in both the

first and second innings. 

Bryce Miller who was hurt much of last

season he went one and one-third innings 

giving up three hits however no walks 

and gave up no runs. He only threw 21

pitches with 16 being strikes.  The rest

of the guys were so so. 

Cooper Criswell is a tall guy at 6'6

and throws hard would be nice to 

make the bullpen pitched two 

innings giving up three runs. He

would be nice to be a long reliever 

gave up three runs but this early in

spring training. 

The top of the batting order looked

good as Brendan Donovan had a 

hit and drive in a run. Cal had two

hits and Julio had a hit along with

walking a couple times.

Colt Emerson had a couple hits

while playing shortstop as JP

Crawford is out it looks like 

until Monday. So we will see

a bunch of Colt. He makes the 

team out of spring training 

because the Mariners thinks he is

ready to go. Not saying that will

happen however it could at the 

same time.  

Friday the Mariners play Arizona 

Dismondbacks in Peorio at 5:10

Pacific time.  Luis Castillo is 

expected to start for the Mariners.

Go M's. 

Gonzaga Wins Big while Cougars Lose Tight Game

Gonzaga men's basketball team only

loss in West Coast Conference was to Portland earlier on they took revenge 

big time beating them 89-48.

The Zags built a 15 point lead in the

first half  however poured it on in 

the second half 53 to 27. The Zags are

now have a 28-2 overall record on

the season. The other loss was to

Michigan in a non-league game. 

The Zags shot very well from the

field making 52.4 percent. Much

if it was 21 turnovers by Portland.

The Zags made ten more shots

from behind the 3 point line. Most

stats looked about even on free

throws and rebounds. 

The Zags had four players score

in double figures led by Graham 

Ike with 19 points. 

This Saturday the Zags play at

St. Mary's in the final regular 

season game before the West

Coast Conference tournament.

This will be the last game in

the conference to as they join

the new Pac-12 next season.

If St. Mary's win at home the

two teams end in a tie for the

Conference at 16-2. 

The West Coast Conference 

tournament will be in Las Vegas

from March 5 to the 10th.

The Washington State Cougars 

men's basketball team lost to

Loyola Maramount Wednesday

night 67-66. This was after having

a 15 point lead at halftime.

It took LMU most of the second

half with a few little runs finally 

catching the Cougars at 61-61

with 1:33 remaining in the game.

After that they were able to take

the lead. Ace Glass made a three

point shot with two seconds left

for the Cougars to make a one

point loss.

The Cougars shot better from

the field than LMU. The difference 

was LMU made nine more free

throws. Glass led the Cougars

with 20 with two other players

in double figures.

The Cougars go into the final

game of the regular season

with 12-18 overall record. The

Cougars are tied with Seattle 

U and San Francisco at 7-10

in sixth place. They take on

Pepperdine on their field on

Saturday. Pepperdine is in

last place.  Even if the beat

the Cougars they will still

be last.  Go Cougs!

Mariners Against KC End In A Tie

Wednesday playing the Royals ended in

a tie 8-8. Most of these early games

have shown the offense in both sides.

Both the Mariners and Royals had an

inning where they scored four runs

each with the Mariners.  The Mariners 

had three home runs all by minor 

leaguers.

Bryan Woo had his first start of the

spring going one and one-third innings

giving up two hits and a run. He had no 

walks and struck out two. Munoz came

in the third after a minor league pitcher

finished the second.  Munoz went a

full inning giving up no hits. Bazardo 

gave up no runs after Munoz.  

The Royals got three runs off Dane

Dunning in relief after starting the

opening game of the spring for the 

Mariners. No other big names in

relief by the Mariners.

Victor Labrada who played in left

field and Brennen Davis in right

both expected to play in the minors

for depth each had three hits scoring

two runs.  Davis a big guy had one of

three home runs.  He is a local player

from Chandler Arizona. The Mariners 

signed him as a minor league free

agent after playing for the Yankees 

minor leagues. 

Thursday the Mariners play Cleveland 

Guardians in Peoria with Bryce Miller 

making his first start. That leaves Luis

Castillo to make his first start. 

Go M's 

Mariner Lose Tuesday

As we know early spring training game

losses don't mean a lot. White Sox 

beat Mariners 12-10.

Brendan Donovan made his first start

of the spring at third base. He got his

first hit leading off for the Mariners 

in the first inning. He was 2 for 2. 

Cal Raleigh had his first home run of 

spring.  Julio has started off well had another hit driving in a couple runs. I am sure everyone is hoping he gets off to a good 

start. Colt Emerson had a couple hits to and drove in two runs.

On the pitching side George Kirby got four outs giving up two runs He threw 45 pitches With 25 strikes. Not a typical Kirby game

but the first of the spring.  The rest of the 

pitching were by minor leaguers.

The Mariners are on the road Wednesday 

against the Kansas City Royals. Don't 

know yet who the starting pitcher will be.

In men's college basketball the Washington Huskies beat Rutgers on the road 79-72.

It was a needed win for the Huskies.

They took control midway through the

second half. The lead was seven at

half time however early on in the second

half Rutgers edged a little closer. The

Huskies were able to make it up to

12 points pounts in the last ten minutes.

Hannes Steinbach led the Huskies with 

24  points making 9 of 12 from the field. To

He had 16 rebounds making it the 18th

time this season he has had a double-

double. Wesley Yates had 19 points

making 7 of 13 from the field. He made

3 of 7 from the 3 point line. Steinbach 

and Yates played all but three minutes.

Zoom Diallo and Quimari Peterson had

10 points each.  In all the Huskies shot

50 percent from the field. Rutgers made

seven more free throws thsn the Huskies 

just to give you a little more insight.

The Huskies will be back home on

Saturday to take on Wisconsin. The

Badgers are sixth place in the Big

Ten so that won't be an easy game 

either although none are in the Big

Ten.  Go Dawgs!

79-72

About Mariners Pitcher Kade Anderson

The Seattle Mariners first pick and second 

overall in 2025 looks like he won't be 

spending much time in the minor leagues.

If it weren't for the starting five right

now a thought starting in the majors

right away.

Kade hasn't started in a professional 

game as yet. Last year after pitching

Louisiana State to the national 

championship the Mariners him

the summer off. The history of some

previous first round picks it is a good

idea. This is true if they played in

college. A high school pick you could

play him some. The draft is now at

the all star break so it isn't like they

will play in many games anyway. 

Since pitchers have history of arm

trouble it is a good idea to rest.

Throwing in the bullpen in Peoria 

Kade isn't afraid to pitch against 

major leaguers. He will likely begin

the minor leagues but we could see

hin by August in Seattle. Even with

the rotation in fact he could make 

some spot starts. The Mariners 

could even go to a six-man rotation 

like they did several years ago.

Depending on the weather in April 

it might be good to start him at Low

A for a start or two then move him

to high A in Everett. It would be fun

for the fans in Washington to see

him pitch. He could then move on

to double A in Arkansas. 

What we do know he will be a special 

pitcher as long as he stays healthy.

When he does go into the Mariners 

rotation he will be the only lefty so

being the third starter would be nice.

The Mariners could trade a starter 

for another bat if they need one.

Go Mariners!

Logan Gilbert Pitches Well In Mariners Loss

Logan Gilbert made his first start of the

spring. He pitched well though only 

went two innings. After the game he 

thought he did well in his first start.

The Mariners didn't give him or any of

pitchers who went out. The Los 
Angeles Dodgers won 3-0. 

Carlos Vargas who pitched all season

in the bullpen went one inning.

Lefty Jose Ferrer went an inning 

giving up the three runs with two

earned in his first game as a Mariner. 

All the other pitchers were minor

leaguers.

Rob Refsnyder made his first appearance 

t dh and had no hits. Andrew Knizner

had a hit while starting at catcher.

Logan says he likes how he catchers

and works well all the pitchers. The

Mariners had three other hits with 

one late but couldn't bring in a run.

Those were hits my minor leaguers.

Tuesday George Kirby will be making

his first start of the spring.  The Mariners 

be back in Peoria to take on the White 

Sox. Go M's. 

WSU Lose Gonzaga while Gonzaga Wins

The WSU Cougars Men basketball 

kept it close in the first half being

down by one. In the second half 

St. Mary's were able to take care 

of them winning 83-67.

St.Mary's shot better making 54.8

percent of their field goal attempts 

They made fifty percent of their

three point shots.  The Cougars did

fine though  not up to their opponent.

St. Mary's made seven more shots.

The Cougars had three players in

double figures. ND Okafor and 

Ace Glass both led with 15 points.

The Cougars next game will be

on Wednesday at Loyola of

Maramount.

Gonzaga beat Pacific at home

71-62. The game was tied at halftime 

then the Zags started pulling away 

in the last half of the second period.

Mariners Come Back Late To Win Sunday

The Mariners game against the Cincinnati 

Red showed again on Sunday that the hitters

are ahead of the pitchers. Most games 

right now minor league pitchers are going 

late in games. The game again was affected 

by the wind in this one.

Final Mariners 14 Reds 8

The Mariners got a run in the first 

inning on a hit by Arozarena. 

The Reds score five runs in the 

second inning. Mariners had another 

run in the 4th. Reds scored three more

in the bottom of the 5th. That was it

for them. Mariners had three in the 5th

followed by in the 7th and tied with 

one in the 8th right after a challenge 

with ABS. The Mariners had 6 in the

9th. That inning it was the minor 

leaguers who scored.

The Mariners pitching was mostly 

done by minor leaguers. Casey

Legumina was the only one who

had pitched somewhat significant 

time with the Mariners last season.

He did fine in one inning.

Monday Logan Gilbert will start

for the first time this spring.

Reliever Jose Ferrer acquired 

for Harry Ford is expected to 

pitch too. Go M's.

Mariners Lose Game Two In Spring and So Does Washington Men BB

The Seattle Marinersost to the San Francisco 

Giants 10,-5 in the second game of the

Cactus Spring.

The Mariners actually led 5-0 after the 

first inning primarily by Mikes Mastrobuino 

grandslam home run. Mastrobuino is

trying to make the team though it won't 

be easy. If he can continue to hit in

the spring he could make it.

In this game he actually played in left 

field showing his diversity. Most

likely he will start in Tacoma for depth. 

Miles bats left handed. Cole Young

hits left handed as does Brendan Donovan.

Also Colt Emerson who the Mariners 

hope to make the team. The extra 

infielder needs to bat right handed.

Leo Rivas who started at shortstop 

in this game bats both ways and then 

there is Ryan Bliss. We will see how 

this works over in the spring.

Emerson Hancock started and went

one and two-thirds innings. He looked

good though gave up there runs only

because a fly ball wasn't handled with

the sun. Munoz pitched the third followed 

by Gabe Speier and Eduardo Bazardo.

The rest of the pitchers were minor

leaguers. 

The  Mariners go on the road to play 

the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. The

starting pitcher isn't known yet. 

The Washington Huskies lost to

the Maryland Terripins on Saturday 

afternoon 64-60. This was a road 

game the Huskies really need to

have a chance to make the NCAA 

tournament. They have four games

to turn things around before the

Big Ten Tournament begins. To make

NCAA at this point they need to finish

the top five in the tournament.

The Huskies have had a good season 

though the Big Ten is a tough

conference for men's basketball.

The game was pretty tight throughout 

the second half. Maryland's largest

lead was five while the Huskies was 

four.  The game was tied going into

the last minute. Unfortunately Maryland 

scored all four points.

Maryland made five more three points

and they were better inside two. The

Huskies did shoot better from the field

but wasn't good enough.

The Terrapins did a good job on Hannes

Steinbach who had his lowest rebounds 

with three and had 14 points. Zoom Diallo 

led the Huskies with 19. Wesley Yates 

was the only other in double figures with

12. 

The Huskies will play Rutgers on the road 

in New Jersey on Tuesday. We hope for

better results.

This evening Washington State Cougars 

and Gonzaga will ha e games. We will let

you know how they go. 

Mariners Win Opening Game of Spring

The  Mariners beat the San Diego Padres 

Friday afternoon 7-4. 

Michael Arroyo was the hitting hero.

He hit a two-run homer in the 2nd inning.

The Mariners first home run of the 

season. In his second at bat he had 

a double.  Colt Emerson at this point

would be the first promising infielder

 to make the team but maybe Arroyo 

too.

Later in the game Leo Rivas hit a

home run too. Most likely won't 

see a lot of home runs out of him

this coming season whether in

Seattle or Tacoma. Both these 

two will see time this year in

Seattle. 

Luke Raley had a couple hits. He

will need to have a good camp

to make the team. It will be either

him or Canzone. The Mariners 

may need to trade him. 

Dane Dunning started however

went into the second inning getting

two outs. He didn't give up a run

however a hit and two walks.

Most of the pitchers Friday won't 

be on the team if any. 

Troy Taylor who last year was injured

when spring training never got it 

going in 2025 pitched an inning 

in this one. He gave up a home run

in the 6th. Importance he is healthy 

and can look something like the

pitcher in 2024. 

Emerson Hancock is scheduled to 

start Saturday against the San

Francisco Giants.

Mitch Garver Back With M'S

I really thought that Garver signed

with the Yankees. I guess not.

He signed a minor league contract 

with the Mariners just a few days ago.

Though he was a disappointment 

in his two years with the Mariners 

as far as hitting goes there is no

pressure on him now. 

To be honest the other candidates 

are not really any different than 

Mitch. The positive is he knows

most of the pitching staff. 

After the Mariners traded Harry

Ford to the Washington Nationals 

and the catchers in camp that

Cal will catch most of the time. 

I do hope that lefty Jose Ferrer

will work out the Mariner hope

for. What we do know the M's 

know how to work with pitching.

The Mariners do need a second

lefty to go with Gabe Speier 

in high leverage cases. We

hope that Speier can stay healthy 

again this season. As we know 

we can't count on a bullpen 

one season to the next. With

depth this really helps.

The Mariners need another high

leverage pitcher to go with Munoz

and Brash so a lefty in this spot 

would be good to whether Speier 

or Ferrer. 

The Mariners have a lot of relievers 

in training camp so if any one new

along with Ferrer be good too. 

I heard that Emerson Hancock 

might go back to be a starter.

I hope he is in the bullpen and

can be used in the rotation if

necessary. I believe the Mariners 

need at least one long reliever 

and he can fit that role. We will

find the answers during spring 

training as we will with the infield.

It will be nice to see Colt Emerson 

in the lineup at third base Friday 

along with Michael Arroyo at 

second.  Not sure that Arroyo 

is ready right now but he is

added depth. 

Enjoy Friday's game as well as the

rest of spring training. 

I do hope the Mariners games will

be found on one of the local stations

as the Kraken are. In fact the Kraken 

signed a new two year contract.

This shows success to me. 

Go M's. 

First Spring Training Game Friday

The Seattle Mariners opening game

is today in Peoria against the Padres.

The Mariners have a mixture of players 

starter. Cal Raleigh will start along with

Julio, Naylor and Arozarena. Julio will 

be at dh. Luke Raley will lead off and

be in center.  Colt Emerson will play 

at third and bat 9th.  Another youngster 

Michael Arroyo will play second and

hit 8th.  Dominic Canzone will be in

right field.

Former Ranger Dane Dunning in camp

on a minor league deal will start for

the Mariners. Expect him to go two 

or three innings. Dunning is one of

the guys to give depth to the starting 

rotation. 

Later we will let you know how it goes.

Go M'S 

What kind of Year will Cal Have

I know a lot of fans and media are

wondering how many home runs

he will have in 2026.

Likely he won't have 60 home runs

like last year. I see he could have 

a better year with a higher batting 

average and less strike outs. 

So many count on home runs 

however there is more to offensive 

baseball. If Cal can drive in almost

as many runs and how about more

walkoff hits. Maybe his on base

percentage increases so he score 

more runs. Right now Julio is

expected to bat behind him. What

if Julio drives in more runs  along

with Josh Naylor. The Mariners 

will have him for a full season we

hope. Maybe Randy Arozarena 

will drive in more too. If Cal can

drive in more runs with the bottom 

of the order getting on or Brenden 

Donovan at lead off. 

The importance is the Mariners 

offense be better on a whole.

A saw an improvement with

the Mariners scoring more times

with the bases loaded or runners

on third last year. What if that

increases more in 2026. 

The Mariners sometimes would 

score in the first couple innings 

than nothing until later in the

game. Be nice to see improvement 

there too. It doesn't have to be

with home runs.  Last September 

the Mariners showed they could

hit more doubles. This would be

be great to do so earlier on

especially at T Mobile park.

The Mariners pitching should be

better to with a healthier starting

rotation. The bullpen improve

with help for Munoz, Brash, Bazardo 

and Speier. 

So I can see Cal having a greater

season offensively with less home 

runs and a more mature Julio. 

Go M's. 

Gonzaga and Washington State Men Both Win

Gonzaga won easily beating San

Fransisco Dons 80-59.

The Zags shot 56.8 from the field.

Over half their points were made 

Inside with 46. On the other hand

the Dons shot 36.7 percent from

the field. 

It will be important that the Zags 

continue hitting well inside. When 

they get to the NCAA tournament 

they will need to shoot better from

the 3 point line especially if they 

make it to the later rounds.

The Zags went most of the way

with their starters with four of

the five scoring in double figures.

Another key to their success.

In fact the four combined for

59 points exactly what the Dons

scored.

The Zags have three games 

remaining on the regular season

They are at home against Pacific 

ln Saturday.  Go Zags!

The Washington State Cougars 

beat Pacific at home  87-70.

Going by their records this

would be an upset but it isn't 

never easy to win on the road.

The first half was where more points

were scored with the Cougars led

51-40. The  Cougars shot 56.7

from the field. The difference though

they made 50 percent from outside

the three point line going 14 of 28.

Pacific made  8 of 21. 

 

Rihards Vavers led the  Cougars with

21 points with four in double figures.

The Cougars will be home Saturday 

taking on St. Mary's which won't be 

an easy task.  Whether the Cougars

win or not they will have to play well.

The Cougars have had a tough season 

so they will need to play well in the

West Coast Conference tournament.

In fact to make the NCAA tournament 

they will need to win that tournament.

Go Cougars!

With the week off the Washington 

Huskies will play Maryland on the 

road. This is a winnable game though 

never easy on the road especially 

in the Big Ten. Every game remaining 

is important to win. Injuries have 

kept the Huskies from having a 

successful season. The could 

make the NCAA tournament however 

it will be a challenge. Go Dawgs!

Washington Huskies football: all-time Wide Receivers

The Washington Huskies have some

of the best wide receivers over time 

though it helps having some very

good quarterbacks throwing to them

Reggie Williams is listed as the number 

one receiver in yardage. Rome Odunze 

who was the team that made it to

the national championship game 

and now is with the Chicago Bears is 

number two.  

Denzel Boston who declared for the

NFL draft after the 2025 season is 

listed number 16 however if it wasn't 

the fact he missed a few games he 

be higher. If he did come back for

another season and stayed healthy 

he could move up to number four

if he had 1000 yards.

Jermaine Kearse who played with

the Seahawks among other NFL

teams is number three in yardage 

however holds the record in touch-

downs with 29.  It maybe difficult 

however Denzel Boston had 20

 touchdowns and he stayed could 

move up though passing Kearse 

might be difficult.

Dante Pettis is number four in 

yardage however he and Odunze 

are listed third with 24 touchdowns.  

Mario Bailey who was on some 

good Don James teams in the 90s 

is 7th in yardage however number 

two with 26 touchdowns. 

Jayden Mickens is fifth in yardage 

however third with 203 catches but 

had only 12  touchdowns. Among 

the receivers though he ran the ball 

more than any with 32.

Jalen McMillan who was on the team

team with DeBoer when they went to

National Championship game losing 

to Michigan after the 2023 season is 

sixth in yardage. He missed about 

half the games that season. Had he 

played the full season Jalen may have 

been number four behind Kearse. 

Mario Bailey was the Huskies best 

receiver in most categories until 

the 21st century when the guys 

above him came on the scene. He 

played between 1988 and 1991.

Jerome Pathon was next at eight 

and.he was the next best receiver 

to finish the 21st century. He had 

six less catches then Bailey and 

30 yards. The biggest difference 

was Bailey had 26 touchdowns 

while Pathon had 16.

These are the Huskies top right

receivers as far as catches, 

yardage  and touchdowns. Go 

Dawgs!

Mariners: Victor Robles and Ryan Bliss

This spring training these two Mariner 

players are back. They both missed 

most of the 2025.  Robles was back in

September however he didn't see

much playing time so made us realize 

he wasn't totally healthy yet.

Robles will be the everyday right

fielder. He is much like Josh Naylor 

as far as attitude and being great

in the locker room. He does have 

speed. He once was the Mariners 

lead off hitter however it looks like

newcomer Brendan Donovan will

be it this year. So Robles will be in

the second half of the batting order.

Where he will be will depend whether

Cole Young and Colt Emerson are

in the lineup.

Ryan Bliss did miss the season 

after being hurt early on in 2025.

Like Robles he has speed too.

He is in competition with Leo Rivas 

to make  the opening day roster. Being

a right handed hitter he may platoon 

with Cole Young starting against lefties 

it at least tough lefties that is. Rivas

on the other hand is a switch hitter

so he might have an edge.  Both players 

can play some third base as well as 

second along with shortstop. When 

not starting they both can be used

as pinch runners. The Mariners don't 

have many players to pinch run for

however opportunities will arise I

am sure. 

Starting pitcher Bryce Miller says he 

is healthy so if he can get back to

his 2024 level will improve the rotation 

for sure. We can say the same for Logan 

Gilbert and George Kirby. 

Again first game in spring training begins

this Friday against San Diego. Speaking

of the Padres Ty France is now back

with them after signing as a free agent.

Most likely he will be used as a pinch 

hitter most of the time. 

Go Mariners!

Spring Training Full Open

All the players should be in camp

beginning on Monday. The first

preseason game will be on Friday

against the San Diego Padres.

The regular season begins at home

on March 26 against the Cleveland 

Guardians followed by the New York

Yankees. The first road trip will be

at the California Angels followed 

by Texas Rangers beginning on April 

2. 

Those who want to know the World 

Baseball Classic begins on March 5

and ends with the championship on

March 17. The Dominican Republic 

being one of the favorites Julio 

Rodriguez might be the last to return 

to training camp.

The pitchers and catchers started 

last week last year's number one 

pick KadenAnderson is getting great 

reviews. He might not spend much 

time in the minors. Ryan Sloan the 

number two picks in 2025.is having 

a great camp as well. It will be 

interesting to see what the rotation 

will look in 2027.

As far as position players fans will 

want to watch newcomer Brendan 

Donovan along with Colt Emerson 

number one pick in 2023.  Brendan 

Donovan likely will.start at third base 

unless Emerson makes.the club. If 

that happens then we will see

Donovan play some third along with 

second and the two corner outfields. 

Cole Young is expected to start at 

second..All three Donovan, Emerson 

and Young hit left handed. Emerson 

makes the team he likely will backup 

JP Crawford. What we .do know 

Donovan will be in the lineup most 

games. 

We will get up more on the Mariners 

as spring training goes and the season.

Let you know who the best player of 

each game and any other news 

happening. We keep up to date on 

the Seahawks off season.

Seahawks Hire Offensive Coordinator

There was thought that the Seahawks 

would hire within the organization 

for the offensive coordinator with

possible of four offensive coaches 

however it looks like it won't be the 

case.

It looks like division rival San Francisco 

49ers tight end coach Brian Fleury.

He is credited in making George Kittle

the tight end he is.  So the Seahawks 

will look at improving the running 

game. This last season teams like

the Rams used three tight ends at 

times.  We could see the Seahawks 

do more of the same though they

began the season using a fullback.

Rookie Robbie Ouzts was the starter 

however he played in 12 games so

it was used in limits. If he can stay

healthy next season that would help.

Brady Russell was the backup however

he is best on special teams and used

some as the third tight end. 

AJ Barner was the Seahawks primary 

tight end being second in receptions

to wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

He had the loan offensive touchdown

in the Superbowl. We see what his 

approvement next season. Could have

some good catches like Kittle. 

At this point don't know the status

of Ken Walker III however the Seahawks

likely try to keep him. If they can't 

sign him to a multi year contract 

they can put the franchise tag on him. 

Zach Charbonnett is expect out 

for some of next season the Seahawks 

could look at drafting a running back

as well. 

News is that quarterback coach

Andrew Janocko is going to the 

Las Vegas as offensive coordinator 

to be with Klint Kubiak. He to

interviewed for the same position 

with the Seahawks. Now we see

who might be the next Seahawks 

qb coach and whether other

offensive coaches stay or not. 

Go Hawks!

Gonzaga Beats Santa Clara On the Road

It isn't ever easy to win on the road

however the Zags were able to though

got off to a slow start. 

The Zags had four players who scored 

in double figures with three having 20 

points or more. Graham Ike led again 

with 21 points and dominated the 

boards with 15.

The Zags shot 56.7 percent from the

floor though not well in 3 point shots

at just over 16 percent. Nice to know 

they realize that. Another area needing

improvement is foul shots where they

made 19 of 29.  Making 66 points  inside

helped them a lot.  This where they need 

to do when they go against good teams.

The Zags are now back at the top of

the West Coast Conference at 13-1.

Santa Clara is 13-2 with both losses

against the Zags. St. Mary's is 12-2.

Gonzaga's  next game will be at

home on Wednesday against San

Francisco. The Dons are struggling 

this season however doesn't take

them lightly. The regular season 

ends on February where they

face St.Marys so should be another 

great game. After the Dons they play

Pacific and Portland who they have

the only loss. Go Zags. 

Washington Huskies Men's Beat Minnesota

The Washington Huskies went pretty much

with their starters beating Minnesota at

home  69-57.

Forward Hannes Steinbach had another 

big game this time scoring 26 points 

along with 9 rebounds.  He  made  12

of 17 from the field.  Zoom Diallo was 

the only other one to score in double 

figure with 17.  In total the two scored

43 out of the Huskies 69 points.

The Huskies were without Bryson 

Tucker. He has started most of the 

games he has been in. The Huskies 

went with three guards as Quimari 

Peterson started with Diallo and

Wesley Yates. Peterson and Yates 

each had only five points.

Freshman Courtland Muldrew was

the main one off the bench going 21 

minutes.A guard has only played 12 

games. He had 6 points and five 

rebounds.

The Huskies were able to make 

63 percent of their field goals

and the main reason they won 

although they dominated in 

rebounds  with 27 to Minnesota 

18.

The Huskies have a week off

as far as play going  next 

Saturday at Maryland which 

is a winnable game. 

We hope Tucker will be back for

that one. We hope to Wesley 

Yates will be feeling better.

Currently Santa Clara is ahead 

of Gonzaga by five in the second

half. We see how it goes. Go Zags. 

Seahawks News As of Now

Now that we have the parade after

the Seahawks won the Super Bowl 

they have signed 15 future contracts 

and their offensive coordinator Klint 

Kubiak is now the head coach the

Las Vegas Raiders who will be the

Seahawks new OC. This will be a

credical signing for sure. 

Conner Senger pass game specialist

for the Arizona Cardinals is one guy

who the Seahawks looking at. So far 

the only candidate being interviewed 

outside the Seahawks coaching staff.

They are interviewing four coaches 

already in the organization.Since the

Seahawks want to continue in the

running game as part of the offense 

it will be interesting to see how much

Senger is on the running game.

Justin Outten who is a strong candidate 

within was considered to go to the

Raiders was declined to be interviewed 

for a job with them.  He is an assistant 

line coach/running game specialist so

a good thing. We will see if any coach 

on the Seahawks actually go to the Raiders.

The Seahawks hired former Baltimore 

Ravens defensive coach Zachary Orr

to be inside linebacker coach. Orr

actually replaced Mike MacDonald 

as defensive coordinator with the

Ravens. With head coach John Harbaugh

fired after losing in the playoffs.

Harbaugh now is the head coach of

the New York Giants. 

Stay tuned to find out who the next

offensive coordinator will be.

Go Hawks!

Seattle Mariners Future Look Like

This coming season the roster looks 

pretty solid though a spot in the bullpen 

could make a difference and so on

the bench.

Next year 2027 could look something 

different. The Mariners starting rotation 

is  set this season unless injuries

happen. Next year the rotation could

change.  Lefty Anderson the Mariners 

number one draft pick how long will

it take him to be in the rotation. He

was the best lefty in college baseball 

last year and he could crack the rotation

Since the Mariners starters are all

righties this year that would be nice.

So does that mean the end of veteran 

Luis Castillo. May come down to his

season this year..

Ryan Sloan right handed pitchers who

was drafted in the second round out

of high school in 2024 could be ready 

or close to it. Whose spot would he take.

George Kirby could be the guy. It depends 

whether would trade him or not.  Logan Gilbert and Bran Woo seem to be the 

top two pitchers in the rotation. 

As far as the infield talk will be about

newcomer Brendan Donovan and number

one prospect Colt Emerson  to see if he

makes the team out of spring training.

Even if he is not should be on the ball 

club at some point.

So this comes to 2027 the Mariners 

msy have several young ball players 

on the ball club.  We first let's see 

how 2026 goes. We are all hoping 

that the Mariners make the World 

Series. The five to six weeks will be

interesting. Go M's.

Washington Huskies Lose Again At Home

The Washington Huskies were upset

st home in a low scoring game to

Penn State 63-60. This means the 

Huskies will need to win almost all

their remaining games to make the

NCAA tournament. This was Penn

State first win on the road in Big Ten 

play.

Freshmen Hannes Steinbach led

the Huskies with 19 points and

14 rebounds. Steinbach likely 

will go to the NBA after one season.

Wesley Yates was the only other

player for the Huskies to score in

double figures with 11 points. They

played mostly with six players.

The Huskies shot only 37.7 percent

and was the main reason they lost.

The Huskies will play Minnesota 

at home on Saturday.   Minnesota 

lost at home on Sunday to Maryland 

however they will be more rested 

than the Huskies. Go Dawgs!

Klint Kubiak Off To Las Vegas

Can't blame someone whose dream

has been to be a head coach in the

NFL.

One day after the Seahawks won

the Super Bowl offensive coordinator 

Klint Kubiak was named head coach 

of thess Vegas Raiders.

I hope the Raiders give him a chance

no matter how they do next season.

Former Seahawks head coach Pete

Carroll only made it one season.

The Raiders I expect need a lot of 

help. It will be interesting what 

coaches may move over from the

Seahawks. The likelihood it will

be a few offensive coaches. 

This means promotions on both

teams. I am sure the Seahawks 

know who the next offensive 

coordinator will be. It will be

in-house as four offensive coaches 

are being interviewed Thursday 

and Friday. We will let you know who

it will be. 

The Seahawks could lose a few offensive 

players to in free agency. I am sure they will

try to keep as many as they can. Ken

Walker III will be one they will try the

best to keep. It may take putting

the franchise tag on him though.

The next few weeks should be interesting.

Go Hawks!

Gonzaga Beat WSU Cougars Tuesday Night

The Cougars didn't have a good 

first half scoring  on 21 points

while Zags had 48. Did much better 

in the second but couldn't overcome.

Final Zags 83 Cougars 53

The Zags always bounce back after 

a loss. They are now ranked 12th

so they at this point they are not

a number one seed for the NCAA 

tournament.

They shot muh better than the

Cougars and making 34 shots 

to the Cougars 18.  Neither shot

well from outside in the 3 point shot.

The Zags had 50 points inside

compared to the Cougars 22. 

The Cougars had 21 turnovers while

Zags had 10. 

Graham Ike led the Zags with 20 points

with three others in double figures.

The Zags will play Santa Clara on

their court Saturday. Both teams 

are 12-2 however Santa  Clara 

plays Seattle U Wednesday night.

They should be favored.. The Zags 

 beat Santa Clara the first time 

early January but it will be important 

to win again. Go Zags!

The Cougars on the other hand 

don't play again until next Wednesday 

at home against Pacific. The Cougars

are 6-8 in West Coast Conference 

while Pacific is 7-6. The Cougars 

have lost three in a row so important 

to get back to winning ways.

Wednesday night the Huskies play 

at home against Penn State. The

Huskies are 4-9 in the Big Ten and

have lost two in a row. Pen State 

is 1-12 so the Huskies can't afford

sn upset. Go Dawgs!
