Sonny Sixkilller Brings Husky Legends to the Peninsula

Emanatingfrom the vision of former University of Washington football star Sonny Sixkiller, 40 Husky legends and 200 total players are teeing off again at the 11th Annual Sonny Sixkiller Husky Celebrity Golf Classic Presented by Wilder Auto at Cedars at Dungeness Golf Course on July 29, 2022.

Sixkiller was the dynamic and prolific quarterback who was instrumental in helping turn around the University of Washington football program and led the NCAA in passing in 1970.

Nearly ten years ago Sixkiller met with Seven Cedars Casino General Manager Jerry Allen, who mentioned getting the Olympic Medical Center Foundation involved, and the First Annual Sonny Sixkiller Husky Celebrity Golf Classic was born.

“We’ve been talking about doing a fundraising golf tournament for a while,” Sixkiller said, “but we wanted to make sure that everything was right. We wanted the right charity and wanted to make sure that we could stage a first class tournament.”

“I have always wanted to set up a tournament to showcase the

legacy of University of Washington sports, especially football,” Sixkiller said. “I also wanted to make sure that the tournament would accomplish two things. I want it to raise a lot of money for charity and I want every player to walk away after the event saying that they had the time of their life.”

Sixkiller is the official spokesman for the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, who operates the Casino, Longhouse Market and the golf course.

“I’ve always had a lot of respect for Ron and Jerry Allen,” he said. “They really make you feel comfortable and they do a lot for the community. That was important to me. I knew that by working with them that we could do a lot for the Foundation, which directly and indirectly does a lot for the people on the Peninsula, not just in a single community.”

“The Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe is very honored that Sonny Sixkiller is choosing to initiate this annual fundraiser here at our Cedars at Dungeness Golf Course,” said Tribal Chairman Ron Allen. “Sonny is a ‘class act’ for the University of Washington, our northwest community and now here in our Olympic Peninsula community. We have been blessed by his great leadership, character and community spirit.”

“We are delighted to be a part of this tournament — we think it will be the premier sporting event on the Peninsula,” said Jerry Allen.

It was also important to Sixkiller that there are a lot of Husky fans on the Peninsula. Since his playing days ended in 1972, he has stayed very close to the University – he is currently the Senior Associate General Manager for IMG Sports Marketing at the University, after being involved with Fox Sports Broadcasts for 13 years, and serving with the UW Alumni Association, Tyee Club, and the Husky Hall of Fame and Athletic Director Search Committees.

“In all my years coming over to the Peninsula, I learned that there is a strong following for the U Dub,” said Sixkiller. “I see a lot of people walking around in Husky polo’s or other UW attire.”

The Huskies that will accompany Sixkiller are a Who’s Who of Husky players and coaches. They include Steve Emtman, Robin Earl, Michael Jackson, Jim Lambright, Ronnie Rowland, Sequim resident Don McKeta, as well as Scott Jones,

the only Port Angeles High School graduate to play in the NFL.

A native of Ashland, Oregon, Sixkiller played for the Hawaiians in the World Football League, and was a cast member of the original The Longest Yard movie production.

As a sophomore at the UW, he took over the reins of a team that had gone 1-9 the year before, and directed seasons of 6-4, 8-3 and 8-3. He led the nation in total passing in 1970, completing 186 of 362 passes for 2,303 yards and 15 touchdowns.

Roy Blount Jr. aptly described Sixkiller as a player in the Sports Illustrated story: “Another powerful inducement for fans and scribes to go wild over Sixkiller is his style of play. He is a fine looking athlete who whistles the ball and moves fluidly. He is…not much of a runner, but he scrambles and does wild things. His passes tend to be either 15-yard lasers into someone’s stomach or lofted 25-yarders that just clear two defenders’ hands to hit a receiver in full stride down the sidelines.

“After he matched, or perhaps outdid, the passing of Heisman Trophy winner Jim Plunkett in

Washington’s 29-22 loss to Stanford last year, Stanford Coach John Ralston said, ‘We’ve faced some fine quarterbacks this season, but none of them presented as many defensive problems as Sixkiller. After studying the films of him in action, our coaching staff agreed they have never seen a passer as loose as this kid. He free lances all over the field and you never know what he’s going to do next. And talk about your gunners, I can’t recall anyone who unloads the ball as fast and as often as Sixkiller.”

His movie and TV credits are short but memorable. Burt Reynolds, who is one eighth Cherokee, visited a UW practice in Sixkiller’s sophomore year. Two years later, he invited him to Georgia to be a part of The Longest Yard movie. Sixkiller played a halfback on the inmate team that took on the guards. Later, he appeared as a boat captain in Hawaii Five-O.

Sonny was inducted into the Husky Hall of Fame in 1985.

Angel Awards, presented to the team’s top lineman. Following an extensive college coaching career, Highfield recently became a resident of the Olympic Peninsula when he was named the Head Football coach of the Forks Spartans.

Earle IRVINE

Earle Irvine enjoyed a prep career that remains as decorated as any in Seattle’s schoolboy annals. Playing for Lincoln High School, he twice broke the city single-game scoring record with 41 points as a sophomore and 44 as a senior. Irvine was rewarded with a basketball scholarship to Washington and became a varsity starter for 2 1/2 seasons. Basketball may have been his passion, but baseball could have been his true calling. Playing only one season for the Huskies, in 1959 the right-hander topped that team in victories (6) and innings (56 2/3), and finished with an ERA (1.91) that still ranks sixth in school history and was near spotless in conference play (0.29). Irvine pitched the Huskies’ first and only NCAA regional victory covering the next 33 years.That single season earned him a place on the Huskies All-Century Baseball team.

He went on to play for eight seasons for the Seattle Seahawks, where he became one of the team’s all-time defensive greats. He led the Seahawks in tackles for a number of seasons and received numerous other awards, including team MVP, Most Improved Player, and the Seattle P.I.’s Sports Star of the Year.

He earned All-America mention all four years at Washington, and for his senior season, in which the Huskies went 8-3-1, Jaeger was a consensus All-American, selected as a 1st Team All-American by both the AP and UPI.

Jaeger is still the all-time Washington Husky scoring leader with 358 points and held the NCAA record with 80 career field goals. Jeff had a 12 year career in the NFL, playing for the Cleveland Browns, Oakland Raiders and Chicago Bears. In 1993, he led the NFL in scoring.

21 Joe JARZYNKA

He is second in team history in career punt returns (101) and sixth in kick returns (46). Jarzynka was named Pac-10 Player of the Week against California in 1998, after breaking the conference record with 166 punt return yards, including a 91-yard punt return TD (he also kicked the PAT after the return). An all-time Husky fan favorite, primarily because of his daredevil play on special teams, he was awarded first-team All-Pac-10 honors in 1998. He was also the recipient of the KIRO-TV/Pete Gross Player of the Year Award. 82/79 Scott

1985-1988

As a junior, he helped anchor the offensive line for the undefeated 1991 National Championship team that defeated Michigan in the Rose Bowl. Kennedy was a two-time winner of The Morris Trophy, which is given to the Pac10’s Lineman of the Year, and was a unanimous consensus AllAmerica as a senior in 1992. This O-Line stalwart allowed only two sacks in his four years at Washington, and played in three Rose Bowls. He was drafted with the ninth overall pick in the 1993 NFL Draft and went on to play 11 seasons with the Atlanta Falcons and Oakland Raiders.To cap his stellar career, Lincoln was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in the 2015 Class.

86 Graham LASEE

2003-2003 DL/TE

24 Matt LANE

2004-2006 BASEBALL

Home town fans acquired an affection for Matt Lane, a lefthanded hitting catcher from Port Angeles High School, who was a three year letterman for the Huskies (2004, 2005, 2006). As a senior, the local hero started 56 of the Huskies 61 games and belted 12 of his career 24 home runs. During his senior season, he was the primary batterymate for Golden Spikes Award winner Tim Lincecum, who went on to win two Cy Young Awards in the National League. In 2006, Lane was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 11th round of the MLB Draft , and spent three seasons in professional baseball with the Blue Jays’ organization.

19 Mark LEE

1977-1979 CORNERBACK

Mark Lee was successful enough at cornerback while playing for the Huskies to earn All-Conference as well as Honorable Mention All-America Honors. However, when he went back to return punts, is when the stadium would start to pay attention. One of the best punt returners of the Pac-10 era, he had three punt returns for touchdowns in 1979, including a memorable game-winner against Oregon that was the first punt return of his college career. Three punt returns for touchdowns set a school record at the time. Lee was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the second round of the 1980 draft. He played for the Packers from 1980 to 1990 and started 140 of 157 games and recorded 31 interceptions. He finished his final year in the NFL playing for the San Francisco 49ers and New Orleans Saints.

Chip LYDUM

Born at the University Of Washington Medical Center — a stone’s throw from Husky Stadium — Omare Lowe found the early road to his destiny which has been framed in football infamy. Honing his skills during a stellar career at Tahoma High, Omare was fulfilling his earliest dreams of pulling a Husky jersey over his broad shoulders. A four-year letterman (l9982001), who played his final two years at cornerback, Omare was a member of the 2000 Rose Bowl team that won the PAC-12 title and defeated Purdue, 34-24. Lowe went on to be drafted by the Miami Dolphins in the fifth round of the 2002 draft. He played for the Dolphins, Jets, Patriots, Falcons and Jaguars and was a part of the New England Patriots when they defeated the Philadelphia Eagles, 39-24 to win Super Bowl XXXIX (2005).

Greg METCALF

For over two decades, Greg Metcalf came to epitomize Washington cross country and track.A product of Ephrata,Wash., Metcalf made his mark as a Husky All-American distance runner from 1990-93. His passion for the sport led him into coaching, and soon he was back at his alma mater working with the distance program. In 2002, having served five years as assistant coach, Metcalf was named Washington’s 12th head track and field coach, and just the fifth since Clarence “Hec” Edmundson took the helm in 1919. Metcalf’s work with the men’s and women’s cross country teams helped develop each into national contenders, with historic finishes for each team, highlighted by an undefeated season for the 2008 women’s team and the program’s first NCAA title. The women’s squad also reached the podium in 2009, taking third, and again in 2011, as the NCAA runner-up.

Gary “Chip” Lydum is one of the longest-tenured employees of the UW athletic department. After having served in the United States Marine Corps, Lydum got his start in athletics as an undergraduate student before joining the sports information staff in the 1984. In 1991, he switched jobs to become the assistant to the athletic director, a job he held for three years before taking over as the UW athletic department’s associate athletic director for capital projects. In that role, he has overseen some of the most ambitious projects in the department’s history, including the construction of the Dempsey Indoor Practice Facility, Husky Ballpark and the Husky track and soccer facilities, along with the complete renovations of Hec Edmundson Pavilion and Husky Stadium, which re-opened to rave reviews in 2013.

21 Shane PAHUKOA

1989 – 1992 SAFETY

Following in the footsteps of his older, Husky All-American offensive lineman Jeff Pahukoa, Shane became a force of the defensive side of the ball at Washington. He was a four-year letterman at safety, and served as a team captain as a senior. He helped lead the ferocious Husky defense to three straight Pac-10 titles and three Rose Bowls, and started all 12 games during the UW’s 1991 National Championship run.

Eddie PASATIEMPO

1974-1976 BASEBALL

As a Husky ‘horse-hider’ in the mid-70s, Eddie Pasatiempo was the ultimate ‘pepper player’ whose characteristic hustle and bustle earned him respect and admiration from his teammates. Pasatiempo credits his experience as a university student and athlete, as well as friends and colleagues, for influencing him to become the successful person he is today. As a freshman on a full baseball scholarship, Eddie played the infield with sizzle and speed, making up with heart and soul what he lacked in size. Between Coach Bubba Morton and teammates, classmates and fraternity brothers, Eddie not only has embraced the qualities of those around him, he has put them to good use during his distinguished career.

59 Ray PINNEY

1973-1975 CENTER

Pinney was an All-Pac-8 selection at center and two-time co-captain for the Huskies playing for head coaches Jim Owens and Don James. One of seven Huskies drafted in 1976, Pinney was selected in the second round by the World Champion Pittsburgh Steelers. He played guard and tackle for the Steelers, and was the starting right tackle in Super Bowl XIII. He also played for the USFL and was a starting tackle for the USFL Champion Michigan Panthers. After the USFL folded in 1985, he returned to the Steelers where he remained until he finished his playing days in 1987.

60 Andrew PETERSON

1991-1994 OFFENSIVE GUARD

After a stellar prep career at South Kitsap High School, Peterson signed with the Washington Huskies, where he made three trips to the Rose Bowl and played on the greatest team in school history — the 1991 national championship unit. Peterson was a redshirt freshman on the title team. He didn’t make any starts, but played in every game. He started all 23 Husky games as a sophomore and junior at weak-side guard and 11 games at tackle his senior year when he was voted the UW’s top offensive lineman while earning second-team All-Pac-10 honors. Following his senior season he played in both the BlueGray Classic and Hula Bowl all star games before the expansion Carolina Panthers, then coached by former Husky assistant, Dom Capers, selected him in the fifth round of the 1995 NFL draft.

44 Ray PRICE

1972-1974 BASKETBALL, BASEBALL

Remembered as “The Machine,” Ray Price was recruited out of Temple City (CA) High School by Coach “Tex” Winter as the highest scoring player ever to have enrolled at Washington. He averaged 36.3 points per game his senior year. He earned AllPAC 8 honors not only in basketball, but baseball as well, where he was named to the Huskies’ All-20th Century team. Price dominated play, leading the Dawgs in innings, ERA and strikeouts in 1973-74. His 1.90 ERA in l973 still stands as the fifth-best in school history. He was a fourth-round pick of both the NBA’s New Orleans Jazz and MLB’s Pittsburgh Pirates. Not only did he compete for 10 seasons of professional basketball overseas, where he left his impact in South America scoring a single game record 79 points, Ray also logged four seasons of minor league baseball in the Pirates organization.

26 Ronnie ROWLAND

1976-1977 TAILBACK

Rowland joined the Huskies as a Junior College AllAmerican and made a huge impact on the team his first year. Rushing for 1,002 yards, he became the first Husky to gain a 1,000 yards in a single season since the legendary Hugh McElhenny. He finished second in the conference in rushing behind USC’s Ricky Bell. Rowland was an important part of that Husky team that reached its first Rose Bowl in 14 years, where they defeated a heavily favored Michigan squad.

26 Tom SCOTT

1971-1972 WIDE RECEIVER

Atransfer from San Mateo JC,Tom Scott wasted little time making an impact for the Husky offense. Immediately becoming one of Sonny Sixkiller’s favorite targets, he ledWashington in receptions with 35 for 820 yards and six scores in 1971. He also finished third on the team in rushing while returning kicks and occasional punts. He earned All-Pacific Coast and All-Pac-8 honors that season. His senior season he kept up his big-play legacy by averaging nearly 26 yards a reception. Following his days as a Husky, Scott was drafted by the Detroit Lions, but opted to go north to Canada, where he began an 11-year career in the Canadian Football League, again had an early impact, as he was named the CFL’s rookie of the year with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 1974. He retired in 1985 and was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 1998.

6 Sonny SIXKILLER

1970-1972 QUARTERBACK

Sonny Sixkiller led the nation in passing in 1970, completing 186 of 362 passes for 2,303 yards and 15 touchdowns. He was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated on October 4, 1971, and was named one of the top 10 Pac-10 quarterbacks of all time in a recent poll. A native of Ashland, Oregon, he played for the Hawaiians in the World Football League, and was a cast member of The Longest Yard (1974). He currently is the Senior Associate General Manager for the Washington IMG.

Tommie SMITH

1989-1992

STRONG SAFETY

Big-hitting safety Tommie Smith joined the Huskies as a running back from Lancaster, Calif., before moving to defense. Tommie earned four letters – 1989 through 1992 –and thus played on three Pac-10 Champion teams, including the 1991 National Championship. His sack of quarterback Mike Grant for a safety during the 1992 win over Nebraska remains one of the high points in that run of success. Smith also returned kicks and punts and still ranks second in UW history in interception return yards.

Chris

1984-1994 ASSISTANT COACH

Longtime UW assistant coach Chris Tormey worked at UW under several different Husky head coaches, starting as a graduate assistant coach under Don James in 1980 and 1981. In 1982 he returned to his alma mater, Idaho, where he was All-Big Sky defensive end and linebacker, to coach the defensive line, serving under newly hired Idaho Vandals’ head coach Dennis Erickson. After two years on the Palouse, Tormey returned to the Huskies in Seattle for eleven seasons he coached the tight ends, outside linebackers and the secondary, and also served as defensive coordinator during the 1993-94 seasons. During his tenure as an assistant, the Huskies appeared in 10 bowl games and shared the 1991 national championship with Miami (Fla.).

Robb Weller has been a public figure since his college days at the University of Washington. His popularity as a yell leader made him a personality on campus, leading to dozens of invitations to emcee University events as a student. The student section was always packed early when he was patrolling the sidelines of Husky Stadium with a microphone in his hand. He invented “The Wave” – the cheer that gets spectators on their feet and ripples through an entire stadium. He gained national exposure when he joined the nationally syndicated show Entertainment Tonight, co-hosting with Mary Hart.Weller has won four Emmy Awards and has 11 Emmy Nominations. In addition, he has been honored as the first inductee into the Washington State Broadcasters Hall of Fame.
