• The Federal Way Eagles football team will get a little television exposure on Sept. 19. The defending South Puget Sound League South Division champion Eagles will play in front of a regional-television audience against the GrahamKapowsin Eagles. The game will be broadcast on Root Sports Northwest. The game, at Art Crate Stadium in Graham, will start at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 19. The Federal Way-Graham-Kapowsin game will be one of nine televised on Root Sports this year. The slate of games will be known as the Root Sports High School Football “Game of the Week” and will include teams from throughout the Seattle/ Tacoma area. Games will air on mostly Thursdays at 7 p.m. and will be shown throughout Root Sports Northwest’s five state region. This is the second year Root Sports has televised high school games. “We were very pleased with the response to our inaugural season of High School Game of the Week and are excited to continue the endeavor. This season promises to be exciting with a line-up that includes KingCo, SPSL, Seamount, Narrows, Cascade, Evergreen and Metro schools,” stated Mark Jorgensen, Root Sports Senior Vice President/General Manager. Brad Adam will provide play-by-play and work with analyst Jason Stiles, who is a 1991 graduate of Decatur High School. Adam has been with Root Sports since June 2000 and in his current role provides the sights and sounds before and after every Mariners game as the Host of Mariners Pregame and Mariners Postgame. Stiles joined the Root Sports team following a successful football career; he has worked as a Pac 12 and high school analyst, and will serve in the same capacity for Big Sky football this season. Stiles played quarterback at Decatur before moving on to Western Washington University. • Decatur High School senior Adam Anthony was the goalkeeper on the bracket-winning team at the Federal Way Blast Off Soccer Tournament. Anthony played for the under-18 TPCJSA-RSA Elite 95 Burge team. The Elite beat a team from Mercer Island in the
championship on Aug. 11 on penalty kicks. The Elite jumped out to a 2-0 lead, but Mercer Island tallied the next three goals to take a 3-2 lead. The Elite scored a late goal to tie the game and send it to overtime. During the penalty-kick shootout, Anthony saved the fourth of five attempts by Mercer Island to seal the victory. • Federal Way’s James Neighbor is going to ride the 75 miles around Puget Sound in honor of his mother in the American Lung Association’s Ride Around the Sound next month. Neighbor’s mother, Nadine, had lung cancer in both lungs and died almost two years ago at the age of 85. An avid biker, Neighbor wanted to help raise awareness of lung disease and ride in honor of his mother, along with friends. The Ride Around the Sound is a 75-mile supported tour of the Sound passing some of the best views and scenery in the area, including a ride through Dash Point and Federal Way. Cyclists throughout the region will take part in the second annual Ride Around the Sound. Starting in West Seattle, the water-hugging routes provide spectacular views on fully-supported 75-mile or 30-mile courses with extra optional loops. Ride Around the Sound leaves West Seattle and heads directly to the water in Normandy Park and Redondo Beach, past the Browns Point Lighthouse and through Tacoma (where the 30-mile option starts) and over the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and through Gig Harbor. From there the course rides through Kitsap Peninsula, past Long Lake and meets up for a ferry ride back to West Seattle. For more information, visit RideAroundtheSound. org. Proceeds help prevent and cure lung disease and promote lung health through education, advocacy and research. • The Federal Way Boys and Girls Club is currently enrolling for the 2013 Coed Fall Season Soccer League.
