Kickoff Classic Preview: Seattle Prep vs. Roosevelt
By Colin Caruso
Kicking off the Emerald City Kickoff Classic will be a battle between the 3A Seattle Prep Panthers and the 4A Roosevelt Roughriders. Roosevelt is coming off a great 2012 season, making the state tournament in 4A and losing in the second round to the eventual champion, another team playing in the classic, the Skyline Spartans. Seattle Prep will face a tough match against a Roughrider team prepared to make another run to the state tournament in 2013.
This game will be the second official game in newly renovated Husky Stadium following the Husky opener last Saturday, Aug 31st, in the Dawg’s rout over Boise State. The Seattle Prep – Roosevelt game will kick off at 10am, Saturday Sept 7th. Tickets are $15 at the door and $10 for seniors and students. Good luck to both teams!
