Here's a morning star from the West Sound: Caleb Brown, Central Kitsap tight end. He caught four passes for 168 yards and two touchdowns, and ran a punt back 60 yards for another TD in CK's 31-16 win over Puyallup.
What can Brown do for you? Better still, what can Brown do for U...Dub?

Well this should come as no surprise. Kingco 4a is the best league in the state. Even Ballard gave EW a hard time. And Bothell, wow. I guess speed really does kill. Bothell has to be considered the favorite to win the 4a title this year, especially after killing a fairly good Gig Harbor team.

I have seen every game Bothell has played the last two years except one, and this was the best performance of them all. I was in awe. I have never seen a high school defense play better against a quality opponent. Honestly, it looked like they had 15 players on the field. And the first-string offense made one bad play all night when the quarterback threw a poor interception under pressure. Other than that, wow.
Two cautions to Bothell fans:
1. The injury to Trey Burwick. If that's serious, it is a major blow. He starts at fullback and inside linebacker and is an unsung hero on both sides of the ball. If he is gone, things are likely to look a little different.
2. The obvious disclaimer in high school sports: Can teenagers play at that level several weeks in a row? If they can, watch out. But that's a lot to ask.

Wesco North & South were a combined 5-1 with Kamiak losing a close game. To say that Ballard gave EW a good game is misleading. If you were there you would have seen that EW's offensive timing was off completely and it was not Ballard's doing. They just couldn't get themselves on track. Even Antoine Wafer didn't even score! That was big. The punts from Ballard were so short he couldn't get under them.

My brother coaches at Bothell and I live in Snohomish. Kingco and Wesco ARE Washington State Football but Kingco has the edge for two reasons. One is to look at the state championship games of late and a Kingco team is always there. Second, just imagine if Kingco 3A and 4A were banged together like Wesco and it Bothell, Eastlake, Bellevue, Skyline, Woodinville and Inglemoor were all in same league. If so, you could argue the state championship every year would be the Kingco Championship.

Regardless of your opinion, we are going to find out what conference rules the state this year because the next two weeks has some major Wesco/Kingco wars on the docket.

Kingco 4a has been the best conference in the State for a while. I was on the the LW team that won the Kingco 4a title in 2004. We made it to the quarters that year, we knocked out Matt Tuiososopo (spelling) in the and woodinville in the mini-playoff. Oh what good times those were

I heard that Bellevue, Skyline and Issy are moving up to Kingco 4A next season. Is that true? If it is they better doll our 7 playoff bids, because that would be the most stacked conference in the state.

You know Kingco 4A is coming for the title. If not Bothell then Eastlake, if not Eastlake then Woodinville and if not Woodinville then Inglemoor! There is no reason that anyone can actually believe that Kingco isn't THE BEST IN THE STATE. (it has been for a while now!)

I think the article is premature. WESCO is 5-1 so far. Lets wait and see after the next round.

Kudo's to Inglemoor, as they find themselves with a spot in the playoffs after beating Rogers on Saturday night. And note to sports writers-any team that looses to Bothell by only 3 points should at the least get a nod from the press occasionally. Kingco league is definately the toughest in the State and I think this weekend's results proved that. Good luck IHS Vikings-you boys have done your school proud.

Steven, yes Inglemoor played a good game against Bothell, But that was a major rivalry game, which has a huge factor in the outcome of any game. Look at Inglemoors record, they lost to redmond...Which Bothell crushed 45-7. No recognition for those who can't step it up.

On the subject of best conference in 4A, I want to slightly amend your facts. Thee have been no less then 5 Kingco 4A teams in the last 4 WIAA finals. They have finished on top only once but no other league can match that number.

Ballard 2003
Skyline in 2004 and 2005
Woodinville in 2005
Bothell in 2006

Next year Issy and Skyline rejoin (Bellevue will find a way to stay in 3A) and the conference schedule may continue to be tougher then the playoffs.

I wouldn't bet against having a Kingco team in Tacoma this December.
