Thompson is one of the most versatile athletes in the northwest and played multiple positions during his career. He has been awarded with All-League honors on both sides of the ball, including…
Jojo Alkhedairy Highlight Video It was week two of the 2012 football season and I was standing at Pop Keeney Stadium in Bothell. Meadowdale had traveled to play Inglemoor and did not supply the home team with rosters for their gameday program. For the first three quarters I was writing down numbers of players I liked. After being emailed a roster, I noticed Jojo Alkhedairy was…
Cody Moorhead Highlight Video Lineman Cody Moorhead (6-4 260) of Hazen is thoroughly enjoying the recruiting process. He has offers from Air Force, Army, Eastern Washington, Idaho, Wyoming and will probably pick up a few more before all is said and done.

Highlight Videos: Sophomore Season, 2012 Spring Football At a practice just two days before the start of his junior season, Brett Carter (6-3 200) caught a seemingly harmless TE screen and began to make his way up field. What happened next would change the course of an offseason of hard “It’s a screen play where I pretend like I am cut blocking a guy to get the…
Hank Van Liew Highlight Video To call the Mount Si defense nasty would be a bit of an understatement. The Wildcats have been putting a lot of zeros in opposing box scores and the leader of that defense is Sr. LB Hank Van Liew (5-11 205).

Just watching his highlight video you will see a kid that is incredibly fast off the ball and has the strength to throw offensive lineman into the backfield.
