:13 left before half at your own 4 yard line... take a knee and run the clock out. That is one of the most boneheaded/stupid plays I've seen the Seahawks made, and I watched nearly every one of their games in the early 1990's.

324 losses in the previous 3 seasons for the White Sox.. and they're in the playoffs while the Mariners won't even win 79 games. The Seattle teams from the mid-80's to early 90's were more fun to watch, and winning seasons were very rare. Tix & parking were certainly cheaper too.

Final: Mt. Tahoma 19 - Sumner 22 Spartans win nice NC matchup of 3A runner-up vs. 4A champs. Good defense, hard hitting, solid ground attack from both sides. Well played. #wafbscores @NWBallers_ @manley_tnt @varsitywanews @ManyHatsMilles

Final: North Thurston 7 - Rogers 40 RHS wins battle of the Rams to cap doubleheader at Sparks Stadium. 84 yard fumble recovery TD for Rogers really put this game on ice. NT’s starting QB hurt in late 2Q, did not play 2nd half. #wafbscores @NWBallers_ @varsitywanews @manley_tnt

Huge game looks like it lived up to the hype!

End 3Q: North Thurston 0 - Rogers (Puyallup) 26 Injuries hurting NT. Rogers D forced multiple turnovers, including 84 yard scoop & score fumble return TD. Rogers in control in the late game doubleheader at Sparks Stadium. @NWBallers_ @varsitywanews #wafbscores @manley_tnt

Final: Heritage 0 - Emerald Ridge 28 to cap first game of rare doubleheader at Sparks Stadium. T-Wolves offense struggled and suffered from the turnover bug in 2nd half. Either INTs or turnover on downs. @wafbscores @NWBallers_ @varsitywanews @ManyHatsMilles @manley_tnt

End 1Q: Mt. Tahoma 6 - Sumner 7 Excellent defense from both teams, solid offense from both as well. A blocked point is the difference in the game @NWBallers_ @varsitywanews @manley_tnt #wafbscores

4Q: Emerald Ridge huge TFL on 4th and goal at 1 yard line. Heritage stopped short of end zone. 4:36 remaining at Sparks Stadium. Jaguars going to hold on for win 21-0. #WAFBSCORES @varsitywanews @ManyHatsMilles @manley_tnt @NWBallers_

End 3Q: Heritage 0 - Emerald Ridge 21 Jaguars dominated the first half at Sparks Stadium, no scoring in third-quarter #wafbscores @NWBallers_ @ManyHatsMilles @varsitywanews @manley_tnt

Final: Bellevue 14 - Puyallup 32 from Sparks Stadium. Vikings hold strong moving to 2-0 on the season with a key nonconference win. #wafbscores @NWBallers_ @fox13seattle @ChrisEgan5

Utah St. vs. Washington Huskies game is on Comcast ch. 1315 now in the Seattle area instead of the main Big Ten Network ch. 632. Thank goodness it was so well communicated and no fans were confused whatsoever.

Ch. 1315 which is an alternate channel

In the past 17 days, the Mariners have been beaten by 17+ runs 2 times, and been held to just 1 hit on offense 2 times. Yet there are those who believe a switch is about to get flicked up & on, and then team will on some sort of 20-2 run after this road trip ends.

The first Mariners game I ever remember seeing was in 1981. Seen some great ones, seen a lot of bad ones. Not sure I’ve ever seen one this embarrassing as I did tonight. To say that there needs to be changes, is an understatement.
