King’s Knights

Daylee Hanson’s game-high 12 points led defending 1A champs King’s past Bellevue Christian in an exciting regional match-up with a trip to Yakima on the line. A strong start for the Knights was met with a long rally for the Vikings which extended into the third quarter.

King’s regained the lead late in the third quarter after a technical foul garnered multiple free throws for King’s. The Knights clung to a narrow lead as the end of regulation quickly approached when Bellevue Christian made their move. Nicole Bloch led the charge with 10 points as the Bellevue Christian deficit shrunk. A late turnover by KHS gave the Viks a chance tie the game up. Rachel Berg lofted up a three-pointer to draw the score even, but the ball lodged itself between the rim and backboard which turned the ball back over to King’s and eventually allowed the Knights to hang on for a four point victory.

After the game, Coach Dan Taylor talked about the challenge of defending a state title stating, “We can’t let that sense of fear of losing dictate the way we play.” He also mentioned the need for rest heading into the final weekend of the season by saying, “We’re fatigued from a mental standpoint…we need to work on our execution and just get ready for who our next opponent is.”

The Final Score
King’s 34, Bellevue Christian 30.

Bellevue Christian Lights up Scoreboard Against Chimacum
By Steven Dion

The first of two crossover games for the Vikings of Clyde Hill and Cowboys from the peninsula was played on a chilly Saturday night on Mac Field at Lake Washington High School. This was the second matchup between the two squads; the first contest a 28-6 victory by BCHS at Chimacum on September 20. The six weeks between then and now demonstrate drastic separation between the two teams. The Viks were able to double their offensive output by putting up a staggering 56 points while pitching a defensive shutout in the process.

The first score of the game was a dazzling 70-yard run by Viking QB Kemper McQuaid. The 5’10 senior was effective with his legs as well as his arm as he tallied 5 total touchdowns, all in the first half. The BCHS offensive line allowed McQuaid along with the other backfield options like Josh Hazen and Michael Dougherty to get to the edge and turn up field. A wrecking ball on offense and defense was Vik TE/DL Tate Razor. His ability to catch passes over defenders and run through defensive lineman was a difference make in the contest. The display of sportsmanship was top notch despite the lopsided score as opposing players picked each other up and gave helmet taps after plays to show respect for the competition. The final score was Bellevue Christian 56 Chimacum 0. With the win, BCHS travels to Nooksack Valley to face the Pioneers next Friday.
