Skyline Tames Bothell Attack in Pivotal League Matchup
By Steve Dion

Skyline is beginning to really hit their stride as the regular season is rapidly winding down. Mat Taylor’s Spartans started their league clash with the tough Bothell Cougars at Pop Keeney with a pair of touchdowns which made it appear BHS may be in for a long night.

However, Coach Bainter rallied the troops and punched the ball into the endzone twice to bring the game back to even ground; a pair of touchdown passes by Jacob Sirmon to Daniel Johnson and DaVicious Wilson respectively. Before the break, the Spartans marched down the field on a drive which created a momentum swing that carried into the second half. Drew Kistner completed numerous quick passes to the sidelines to protect the clock and move the chains. With 28 seconds left in the second quarter, Kistner connected with Luke Stiles from 21 yards out to give Sparty a touchdown lead heading into the locker room.

When the game resumed, Skyline took the opening drive down the field and were on the doorstep of taking a two-score lead. Tanner Gunnells picked off a pass that was headed for the endzone handing the ball back over to Bothell. However, the Spartans defense stepped up and didn’t not allow the Cougs to capitalize eventually giving it back to their offense.

The game was put away when Isaiah Shim picked up some big chunk runs to set up a rushing touchdown for Kistner. The scoring concluded with a 53-yard bomb to Bradley Kim. The scramble at the top of KingCo 4A continues with Skyline taking over the reins.

The Final Score:
Skyline 34, Bothell 13.
