Flove

For fear of an on-line mugging (if there is such a thing) - Go Saxons!!!!!!! I know the Minnerly family well and I want an East-side State Championship game (I'm a Tiger from Lewis and Clark) with the Tigers taking home the Trophy.

{Ducking and jiving} Whowa - was that a rotten tomato that just missed my head?

Pete in Vancouver

We're all here cheering you on - go Bothell!

GO FERRIS!

Do I smell an all GSL State Title game? I have seen both Bothell (last week 42-14) over OH... and Ferris (19-6) over another state semi-finalist... L&C! And watched L&C demolish a weak Inglemoor team last week also. GSL is for real and will represent in the title game....

GO BOTHELL

GO COUGARS!!@!@

Who thinks the game will go into overtime?

tom, you need more have updates more frequently...and over time would be nice

Eastlake should be playing tonight A re-match of Bothell vs EHS would be exciting

tom! more updates please!!

Linda, Eastlake should not be playing tonight. They are a good team but they didn't earn it!! You have to earn it to keep playing.

this game shoulda been telavised across the west coast

Ball on what yard line????

Please.

this should have been the State Title Game....

who won............

No TV
No Radio
Leave it to newprint to give us the most current call of this game.

Thanks Seattle Times

It would have been cool it there were 2 of you to do this game justice!

"Pass interference on Bothell. Ferris will have 1st and goal at the 1.

Wha-hooo
Go Cougar Paws!

I wish I was there
Thanks a lot Tom
You filled a huge gap in my day!
If I could I would give you a raise also!

thanks Tom! Thank you Seattletimes.... what a great game... Wish I was there to watch it! Good Luck Bothell in Tacoma next week... Hopefully against L&C

I'm sorry but Bothell, is the luckiest Team I've ever seen in my life - after reading this and seeing Pasco get screwed out of 2 touchdowns in last years game.

my son got a text message from a buddy at the game. the cougs won!

Congrats Bainter and Boys!
You make us proud!!

bob...

Bothell;14 - 0 on the season.... Luck... Right!!! Sharp as a tack bob...

Go Bothell Cougs!!!

Sounds like a VERY sloppy game on both sides. Not a championship game at all. Bothell got lucky once again. Luck with alittle of talent

A well matched game by both sides. Thanks to Seattle times for putting this up. Ferris played a great game. Congrats to my cougars!!! State baby!

being able to hold a team that was only a few yards away from a tie takes heart and talent. Lots of it.

Bob, tell me one football team in the history of football who hasn't had luck on their side atleast once in their season....Who? Ya, Bothell may have gotten lucky on the 1 yard line, but look @ the 1st quarter turnovers that were in favor of Ferris. Keep being an eastsider and keep typing, the state championship is soon to be played by Kingco vs Wesco teams. Go Bothell and Go Dawgs, 1&0

Bothell got lucky in this game and really lucky last year against Pasco - I was there, Pasco won the game twice - in one OT Bothell fumbled, the ref's blew the call and gave the ball back to Bothell, in another OT the Pasco RB was clearly 1-2 yards in the endzone and once again the refs blew the call and said he was down, today Bothell gets a huge Pass interference call on 3rd down that gives them 1st and goal at the Ferris 5 - then Ferris fumbles at the end of the game

Cougar fans enjoy for now. Next year Skyline will stomp you. PS was at the Bothell Eastlake game earlier this year. MANY bad calls against EHS. They, BHS, got lucky on that one. Thanks to Seattle times for coverage and this blog

THank you, Journalist WYRWICH, for reporting this game. We are in Moses Lake and you were our only link with our old alma mater, Bothell HS. We could not find the game on any radio station near Moses Lake. Glad the weather did not mess things up too much! Ferris staying in there until the end makes the capable Moses Lake Chiefs look even better.(They barely lost in the quarter finals. We felt like we were playing against the refs as well as Ferris). Anyway, I am proud of ALL high school athletes! Gooo Moses Lake Chiefs! Gooo Bothell Cougars and GOOO Washington Huskies!!

FERRIS fan need to stop crying... you lost but you still need to be proud of what happen...bothell is going back to the championchip game and they earned it better luck to you next year

everyone saying that bothell is lucky and coming up with all these stupid excuses, seriously shut up. I hate when people find little stuff about the game and say oh this is why we lost blah blah blah, its a football game of course teams are gonna fumble and refs may not get every single call. Have you ever seen a sports game where there wasnt one bad call?...yeah thats what i thought. Bottomline is that these were the two best teams in the state and the score shows it. Give bothell credit for traveling to spokane and still beating a very good ferris team. I wish people could just accept that their team lost.

Any word on EW-L&C

Last I saw on another newspaper's blog site, it was LC 28, E-W 7 in 2nd quarter. Unless E-W pulls off one heck of a comeback, it's L&C vs. Bothell, an East-West showdown in Tacoma next Saturday.

PLEASE donb't say that bothell was lucky in winning this or ANY other games.
If you would have seen the PURE bullshit that were the referee's at the game then you would know that it was not easy at all to win this game.
after we scored in the fourth quarter the refs started calling time outs after every play for ferris, calling fouls, and somehow they magically made it to the 1 yard line.

Ferris is good, and they played good, but Bothell defitnetly had to work hard on this one.

A team can't be 13-0 by just being lucky. I refuse to even acknowledge that as a valid opinion.
It is THE most ridiculously bitter thing i have ever heard.

Gee Linda and Bob...don't choke on those sour grapes, ...then maybe grow up. Kudos to Bothell D..should've been 14-0.

Grace,

There's always next year for your EW boys.

To Bob J:

Thank you for exposing a whole year later that Pasco was somehow cheated out of the quarterfinal game last year. Somehow everyone else, including the officials, missed those mystery TDs that you managed to see. It's lucky that we have you around to point out something that wasn't even mentioned in any media source.

Thanks for contributing.

This game could have gone either way tonight yardage, turnovers, drives were all very similar. When you talk about luck, shoot their were enough poor, and missed calls in the first half of that game, (by eastside oficials not an east west mix) completely changed momentum. The fact is that's football and after seeing LC tonight also, I expect it's gonna be another great game next week. Congrats to the Ferris Saxons on a great season. They easily could be the team in the T Dome, but I really believe the 2 best teams in the state battled it out in a great stadium and atmosphere tonight. Congrats cougs great job! You are the best ever from Bothell. No team in the history of Bothell has ever been 13-0 you rock!Let's keep that BLUE TRAIN ROLLIN'!

Linda .... dear Linda.... I was at the game too. "Smells like Whining" to me. Bothell was not lucky at the Eastlake game. Eastlake was out coached. And out played. It is a shame Robertson got hurt in the EW game. They would have easily beat the Warriors. But let me correct your basic premise. It isn't "lucky" when one team recognizes a poor defensive scheme allowing passes to the flat all day ..... and then takes advantage of that defense. And yes, Skyline is a great team that will make things tough for Bothell next season. But if I were you I'd be more worried about the fact that Skyline is going to bump Eastlake down another notch in the food chain. I'm sure the Bothell fans appreciate your "concern". But, don't worry about Bothell. They will be just fine. And I'm sure they will welcome you and your Wolves to Pop Keeney next season and be just as hospitable as they were to Oak Harbor.

Linda,

The Bothell boys beat Eastlake over and over starting all the way back to Junior Football. Eastlake has lost head to head with this group of kids for 8 straight years. It wasn't luck. It was simply better talent and better coaching. Bothell beat Eastlake at Eastlake, period!

Bob,

This is High School football. Get a life if it ruins your day so much that you feel you need to bring others down to your level. The #1 rated team in the state giving up less than 7 pts and 165 yards a game with a plus 28 turnover ratio had to go to Spokane and play a Ferris home game. Just like Linda, Bothell beat Ferris in a Ferris home game.

Don't forget people. A Ferris touchdown wouldn't have won the game, it would have just given them another chance. The Blue Train are small, fast, well coached and huge hearted kids. They got what they worked so hard for. Victory!!!

LC is going to be tough. Two losses out the GSL doesn't mean much. Very tough conference and powerful defenses. Don't bet on Saturday's game being a blowout for either team. Mistakes will define the winner and loser.

Go Cougs!

Both defenses were incredible. I'm sure Edmonds-Woodway and LEWIS AND CLARK would take exception to any declaration that this was the actual title game, but if it had been the title game, it surely wouldn't have disappointed.

Nice editing job. Last night when you wrote this, it only said Edmonds-Woodway.

I want to know why there was so many bad or made up calls against Bothell. Ive been to every game this year and they dont get Penalties. 3 seconds left on play clock and ref takes a ref timeout "thats bullshit" And a misterious pass interfernce call on bothell

JP: That's because they are not playing at "Pop Kenney" in Bothell where ALL the calls go against Bothell's opponents. And while we are on the subject; let's make it an unsportsmenlike penalty against any fans who "Boo" their opponents when they come on the field to play. Are you listening BOTHELL !!!!!!

Lash: If you can't handle the student section chants at a high school football game than don't go! Stay home and read the score in the newspaper in the morning.
OH should have played Eastlake. Bothell team was greeted off the bus and fans while in the ticket line booth to a chant of "Smells like Bothell" Instead of complaining about it we made T-shirts to sell at our next home game with "smells like Bothell" with the score and date of the game on them. Lighten up and have some fun it's just a game.

Lash, A great game is decided between two teams not four officials. The great games this year "including at Pop Keeney" were played with no penelties or a few. A 7 to 1 ratio against bothell is pure homerism. Ive played in a championship game where the game was decidied by a flag thats a bunch of crap.Let the kids decide
