Our most recent #NEIpoll asked what is your favorite song to listen to before taking the field. Once again we saw a wide array of responses coming from players, coaches and parents alike. The variety of songs selected was pretty wide, and to be honest half the songs players picked I have never heard of – I think that means I am getting old. One thing is for sure, there…

In 2012, things didn’t exactly play out on the field the way the Kenmore (Wash.) Inglemoor football team would have liked. The Vikings finished 2-7, and entered the offseason with a bitter taste in their mouths.

The Tigers have been dominant over the years, making a trip to the state semi’s last season and finishing (11-2) on the year. They have consistently won Pacific Conference titles and this…
You could argue that Meridian two-way lineman Spencer Blackburn has already accomplished enough on the field heading into his senior year to leave quite a legacy with the Trojans. Blackburn’s accolades include being a two-time all-league selection on both sides of the ball, and 2nd AP 1A All-State recognition defensively as a junior. But Blackburn has something else up his sleeve to leave…
The Rainier Beach Vikings are always loaded with talent and veteran head coach Mark Haley is excited about what he has coming back from last year’s squad that went 5-5 and made it to post-season play. “We have a lot of young guys who played last year that will be here for at least another year, so that’s pretty exciting for us,” Haley told Northwest Elite…
One of Washington’s top slot receivers and overall athletes, David Ungerer (5-7 165 Sr. ATH) of Pullman, made his intentions known early by committing to the University of Idaho.

One of the better and more well represented teams in the State of Washington in 2013 will be the 1A Woodland Beavers. We have become familiar with a host of their top athletes, as they have been prominent members of the Barton Football Academy.

As we gear up for fall camp to start this week at most high schools in the Northwest, we can’t help but get pumped up. The buzz of taking the field friday nights is just around the corner and everyone has their own way to help get themselves ready for a big game. There is one way that has been around for some time, and that’s the pre-game “pump up”…
