The Liberty football team made the state playoffs in 2005 after an 18-year drought. Head coach Steve Valach is determined to not let that happen again.
Looking at the Liberty High soccer roster, coach Darren Trembley sees something familiar. The team kept five freshmen on the varsity roster this season. The last time he kept five varsity freshmen was back in 1998, and things worked out reasonably well then.
At first glance the deck may be appear to be stacked against the Liberty tennis team this season. With a new league configuration, the Patriots often match up against tough 4A competition. The team’s best two players are just sophomores.
The Seahawks’ new Virginia Mason Athletic Center in Renton makes – and leaves – a lot of impressions on viewers. The first impression is green, or the massive corrugated green walls of the indoor practice field. Stepping inside the lobby, brick, glass and wood make their mark. Wandering through the VMAC, you get a lot of other feelings: spacious, ample, occasionally even luxurious, but the one that stays with you is: well-designed. The team tossed what was needed, what was wanted and what was possible into a mixer and the product is one of the NFL’s best team facilities.
The Renton High volleyball team has a simple goal: collect more wins than losses.
With a returning state runner, a new state track runner and a bevy of talented freshman, the Hazen girls team cross country looks primed to compete for a league title and a spot at the state meet later this season.
A dream realized, an opportunity seized. Quinton Richardson is making the most of his opportunity to play football at the University of Washington.
Upon first glance, the Lindbergh Eagles’ roster looks offensive. No, it isn’t unpleasant or repugnant. It is, however, built to score a serious number of points.
The Hazen Highlanders jumped out to a 7-0 lead against Auburn Mountainview in the first quarter of the first game in 2007. After that, things took a turn for the worse. The Lions outscored Hazen 35-0 the rest of the way and the Highlanders dropped five games in a row to start the season.
Call him shifty, call him elusive. Call him lightning in a 5-foot-8 bottle.
Whatever you want to call him, just know Justin Forsett is making a strong case to crack the running back rotation in the Seattle Seahawks lineup.
The moment is probably still burned in the minds of diehard Renton High fans. The night was Oct. 25. The Kennedy Lancers had just rattled off 21 points in the fourth quarter and withstood a futile, late-game charge by the Indians to hang on and win. The cost: an outright Seamount title for Renton.
Here’s an early look at the fall season for Renton’s boys and girls cross country and girls soccer teams.
After exploring much of the Cedar River Trail, I came away with one impression: The trail is a great place to bike, take a stroll or just wander.
As a disclaimer, these observations are simply made from last year’s statistics. I haven’t seen any of the teams practice yet and I’m just assuming non-graduating players will be back this season. In other words, things could change by the time games start.
Kids out on the basketball courts at Liberty Park this week laughing, yelling and shooting hoops were learning more than just how to play basketball. They were learning how to live a healthier life.
Renton’s Alejandro Hernandez is getting a rare chance: To travel the world while playing a sport he loves, soccer.
The Seahawks training camp in Kirkland is less than a week old and the competition is already heating up. I spoke with starting cornerback Marcus Trufant about training camp, the new facility in Renton, and a few other things.
In my first preview of the Seahawks’ season, I previewed the offensive line and running game. In this column, I’ll preview what the Seahawks’ passing game might look like in 2008.
Despite the weather-induced lack of a view at the Tiger Mountain summit, West Tiger No. 3 is a fun trail with just enough challenge in it to keep hikers interested.
As youth sports continue to get more and more competitive, there are still a few places where fun is the top priority.
