First time at Buccaneer Field, Bainbridge crushes Kingston BY KIPP ROBERTSON North Kitsap Herald
KINGSTON — The Spartans varsity football team stepped onto Kingston High School’s Buccaneer Field for the first time Sept. 7. The Bainbridge High School team came ready to play. The Spartans defeated the Buccaneers 43-6 in the nonleague game. A mid-week change to the Spartan line resulted in the five-man front that was too much for the Bucs. Spartan Coach Andy Grimm said the line worked. “The kids adapted,” he
said. Knowing the Bucs would focus on the run game, the Spartans looked to stuff the Kingston offense every chance they had. For Grimm and his team, it worked. By halftime, the Spartans had gained 29 points, which began with a 65-yard touchdown run by Matt Stone. The Spartans held the Bucs at zero on the scoreboard until Kingston’s Garrett Rouser scored the final touchdown of the game. Rouser’s 1-yard touchdown were the only six point the Bucs received. Bainbridge’s Stone earned
12 points. Alex Coplan, Max Wysong and Ben Kussie each earned a touchdown. Bainbridge kicker Sam Kallas made four successful point’s after, and one two-point conversion on a fumbled snap. Though both teams are SEE KINGSTON, A15

Spartans top Bulldogs 3-0 BY BRIAN KELLY Bainbridge Island Review

Annie Casey beams after nailing the final goal against Garfield in last week’s girls soccer matchup.
Three first-half goals just minutes apart were all the Spartans needed to dispatch Garfield Saturday in girls soccer as Bainbridge beat the Bulldogs 3-0. The Spartans went on the attack early, with a shot on goal that fell short less than 15 seconds into the contest. Bainbridge junior midfielder Natalie Vukic put the Spartans on
the board at the 24-minute mark, firing one in from the center of the box just past the left knee of the Bulldog goalkeeper. Rosie Kerstetter scored next with an assist from Vukic (28th minute) to put Bainbridge up 2-0. At the 34th minute Kerstetter dribbled the ball down the right sideline and fed Annie Casey, who booted it in past four Bulldogs. SEE BULLDOGS, A15
