Car-show shooting gang members arrested

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

Kent Police arrested six gang members in connection with the July 23 shooting at a West Hill car show that injured 12 people.

Thirty-five officers on five teams from several agencies made four arrests Sept. 1314, said Kent Police Chief Ken Thomas at a press conference Sept. 15 at the La Plaza strip mall, 23311 Pacific Highway S., the site of the shooting.

Members of the U.S. Marshals Service picked up two more men Sept. 16 at a home in the Pacific area of South King County.

Both men were wanted by the Kent Police for reportedly firing shots at the car show. “We believe there were a total of at least five shooters,� Thomas said. “We expect ad-

ditional arrests in the near future.�

Bail set at $750,000.

Rotary club offers Kent Oktoberfest The Rotary Club of Kent Sunrise is planning a fundraising event for several important causes close to the hearts of the members.

The fall Harvest for the Community event is scheduled from noon until 8 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 1 The club is hosting a family-friendly Kent Oktoberfest. The event will take place rain or shine under tents at Town Square Plaza in downtown Kent.

The $25 admission ($20 in advance) includes a German stein filled with the first beer (wine and soft drinks also available).

Admission includes entertainment and entry to the Family fest.

The club will donate 50 percent of the proceeds to benefit returning veterans in the south King County region.

The club will be working with the Kent Armory and Valley Cities Counseling and Consultation to provide services to the veterans.

Marge Williams, the program chair for club, said the title of the program is “All gave, some gave all.”

She said the club members are committed to helping returning veterans and would like the community to join in the cause.

“The military can’t ask for money, but we opened the door by asking how we could help,” Williams said.

She noted one of the most important areas of concern is jobs for returning veterans. Many left jobs that are longer available when the veterans return.

“People want to help, but they don’t know how,” she said.

One of the ways is to join the rotary for the Harvest of the Community

According to Anna’s mother, Svetlana Voloshina, she read much more than 1,000 minutes during the summer and is reading at a high school level.

“I can’t get her to go to sleep sometimes,” Svetlana Voloshina said. “She keeps saying ‘just one more chapter, just one more chapter.’”

Anna said she enjoys fairy tales and many other types of books.

“My house is kind of boring on rainy days so I like to read,” she said. “On sunny days I can go out and play on the trampoline.”

Along with reading, Anna participates in gymnastics and plays the piano.

Police blotter

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

Kent Police arrested a man for investigation of fourth-degree assault after he allegedly

smashed his mother-in-law’s face into a dresser when she tried to break up a dispute between he and his wife.

The wife called 911 at about 5:25 a.m. Sept. 13 to report that her husband had assaulted her mother at a home in the 25300 block of 121st Place Southeast and then fled the scene, according to the police report.

tors were proud of her progress and even had trouble finding the tumor site for several months – it looked like it had actually shrunk!

Throughout the whole ordeal, mom did her best to keep her fabulous sense of humor. She continued to sing with her church’s praise team and she inspired everyone who knew her.

At the beginning of 2011, while still undergoing the same treatment that had worked so far, mom began to have severe difficulty in communication. She said that she knew what she wanted to say, but just couldn’t seem to get the words to come out. A new scan showed that the tumor had, in fact, reappeared – with a vengeance. These types of tumors are known to “hop” from one site to another, causing all sorts of mental and physical issues as it affects other areas of the brain. The doctors also said that the reason these tumors come back so quickly is that they seem to “figure out” the treatment and work around it.

Mom’s curse was that she was fully aware the entire time, meaning she knew what was happening and that there was nothing she could do. Mom’s final days were like a toboggan ride. She went from being my mom to being disoriented, afraid and childlike.

This amazing woman, who had always been so gifted musically, poetically and in so many other creative ways wanted to communicate, but she couldn’t form the words. We could only watch as one day she could walk and the next she was bedridden. Within days of invoking hospice care, my dad, sister and I held her hands as mom slipped away on April 2.

Mom would have been 61 this August. I was grateful to get the Officers noted that the mother-in-law had a swollen, red knot on her forehead.

The husband reportedly was upset at first that his wife had not ironed his work uniform. He then accused her of spending time with her “lover.” The couple had argued for the previous two days about the wife’s social networking account.

chance to honor her on Aug. 18 in a speech that took me all the way to the semifinals of the World Championship of Public Speaking. To see the transcript (and the original blog post upon which the speech was based – including my mom’s comment), visit http://hopespeaking.com and look for “The Snuggie Speech.”

Mom loved the outdoors and we took walks every day that weather permitted right up until her last days. Mom walked with us in the Seattle Brain Cancer Walk last year. This year, she will float above us as we walk in her honor.

Brain cancer does not discriminate. It affects men, women and – yes – children all over the world.

According to the National Cancer Institute, 22,340 new cases have been diagnosed and 13,110 have died just this year.

Up until recently, very little was known about brain cancer as it was considered very rare. We hope that with awareness and funding from events like the walk, more people will be given a better chance at longer lives after diagnosis.

The fourth annual Seattle Brain Cancer Walk will take place on Saturday, Sept. 24 at Seattle Center’s Founders Court and 100 percent of the proceeds go to patient care and research.

This year, you may stretch your dollars even further as a donor has anonymously offered to match all donations up to $500,000! Please do not miss this chance to offer hope and help to the sufferers and survivors of brain cancer and the families who love them.

To donate and/or join Team Hope Walking, please visit: http://community.swedish.org/. hopespeaking The mother-in-law, who lives with the couple, heard the argument and started to argue with her son-in-law about why he was talking to her daughter like that when the man allegedly grabbed her by the shoulders and shoved her face into a dresser before he left the home.

Police arrested the man later that day at his workplace in Seattle.

State law designated the city must reduce the levy by what the RFA would levy, $1 per $1,000.

The group asking for the taxes to not be collected contend that about 38 cents per $1,000 was kept by the city that would have been used for fire department operations. This adds up to about $4.9 million.

Other residents noted their property tax bill increased although they thought it would decrease when the RFA was formed.

According to Bob Nachlinger, city finance director, “it is inaccurate to say taxes went up. (A property owners) tax bill went up, but the property tax did not.�

Nachlinger said a property owner’s tax bill would have increased for the first half of 2011 because of voter-approved bonds and levies, including school and library measures. Also adding to the bill was the new fire benefit charge that was added by the fire authority, not the city.

The fire benefit charge varies by the home or business and is dependent upon

OPINION

● QUOTE OF NOTE: “I may not be a smart man...but I know what love is.” - Forrest Gump

The new world of online dating

We are considering a new series of enterprise reporting written by TJ Martinell who works out of the Covington-Maple Valley-Black Diamond Reporter office.

The subject is online dating.

I was hoping I could do the research and write the series, but, certain staff members think the story is too much fun for me.

Fine.

The idea for the series came from me.

Despite what some think, I’m really Mr. Happy.

The online dating issue caught my attention when TJ told me that guys his age, in their mid-20s, are going online to find dates.

I always thought the folks clicking the online dating buttons were sitting around on locked wards sipping red liquid and watching Jack Nicholson in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.”

Now I find out everyone is using online dating. I did a brief survey of folks in my office and found out most had friends and relations of all ages using the various online dating services.

No one ever tells me anything.

The whole world changed and no one told me.

I’ll bet God is up there in heaven saying, “Online dating? What’s that? Why didn’t anyone tell me about this? I’m God, I get to know things.”

Apparently, people looking for a date fill out screening surveys online and some computer nerd matches you up with a breathing entity who has the same answers.

The color pink does run - a lot It’s no secret that I hate the color pink.

True, I have come to see it as a neutral color since my daughter Lyla arrived almost two years ago, but still it’s not a color I have in abundance in my wardrobe.

But, on Sept. 16 my Facebook feed was filled with pink as friends and professional contacts posted photos from the Susan G. Komen 3 Day Walk for the Cure.

And I didn’t mind the pink.

First of all, I’ve known Tina McDonough for two years now, at least I think so. McDonough is the founder and amazing leader of Valley Girls & Guys, a team she founded a few years ago to walk in memory of a close friend, Michelle.

McDonough’s friend may have lost the battle with cancer — and since then, she has lost other loved ones — but she continues to fight on.

As a result, Valley Girls & Guys has grown beyond even McDonough’s wildest dreams, becoming the largest team in the state and the highest fundraising, as well. In fact, it’s quite likely this group raised more money than any

That scares me.

There is even some quasi-scientific study I read somewhere that said most men think they look like Greek gods even though a knuckle-dragging cave man is staring back at them in the mirror. It’s a special male talent.

The only thing I can figure is there must be a very good lie detector on the man side of the screening survey. I bet that lie detector is a girl sitting at a terminal with a finely honed sense of humor.

“Right, 150 pounds. Yeah when you were 2.”

“Sure, 6 feet 2, on a ladder.”

When I was young I don’t remember any screening devices beyond a six pack of beer, which may be the best argument for online dating and screening surveys The truth is every boy I have ever known was a major fumbling loser when it came to girls. All of us were trying to get some girl

to like us, and all we heard were, “not in this lifetime, dip.”

I have a scientific theory that women are genetically designed to be impervious to all the dopey girl catching tactics males try.

There is one small caveat that allows for marriage.

I call it women’s Achilles’ heel.

Females are completely invincible except for that one moment of weakness. At the right moment, if a male specimen is lucky, he gets a girl to believe his lies for a very short time.

If he doesn’t hesitate, he may find someone to share his life and believe his lies until death do them part, and there is nothing in this world like it. It has happened.

Based on my observations of watching hopeless guys try to get a date, online dating may be the best way to find that special girl.

It can’t be any worse.

other team in the country.

This year more than 150 walkers — nearly double the number on the team last year — raised more than $320,000.

I am friends with McDonough on Facebook.

I also liked the Valley Girls & Guys Facebook page so I could keep up with everything the team was doing as it prepared for this year’s walk.

Every time a new person joined the team, and sometimes they came in twos or threes, she posted. And I celebrated.

There are times when I don’t have to be objective to tell someone’s story.

And I won’t lie. I am absolutely biased when it comes to Valley Girls & Guys.

They are an example of how awesome this community is and I am proud to say I live here, to say I know McDonough but I also feel lucky that I get to write about this group’s accomplishments.

I must confess that while I have always thought this was awesome, I didn’t quite get it, I didn’t understand why anyone would walk 60 miles on a weekend in September when they could very well be watching football or playing outside in the sunshine.

Now, though, I get it.

But, this year, it was a bit more personal for me. It was more than just pride as a journalist and as a member of this community.

For the first time in my life cancer hit close to home. In April I got an email from a close friend, someone who is like a big sister to me, saying we wouldn’t be able to meet up for lunch soon as we had planned because she had been diagnosed with breast cancer.

My friend Ilyse has been in my life since I was 16 years old. She was my math teacher.

But, more than that, she was an advocate for me and my own personal cheerleader. She helped me with homework. She helped me get into college. She went above and beyond the call of duty.

We’ve stayed in touch over the years. But, she’s always been an important part of my life, not just someone I talk to now and again.

Ilyse was at my graduation from the University of Washington as proud of me as my own family.

Two weeks before that she was at my wedding where she read out of Songs of Solomon.

I got to meet all her kids when they were newborns and I’ve watched them grow up, mostly through photos, but now they are all in grade school.

Her family is amazing. I could tell all kinds of stories about how lucky I am to have her in my life.

One of the first people I contacted when I found out about Ilyse’s diagnosis was Tina McDonough.

Of the 13 victims, seven were gang members, Thomas said. None of the injuries were life threatening.

Detectives and crime analysts from 14 local, county, state and federal agencies are part of the shooting investigation.

They interviewed more than 150 people, reviewed hundreds of hours of video and still images and analyzed records from more than 70 cellphones. “The initial success is due to the cooperation of regional partners and the assistance Kent received

As I was heading out of McDonough’s office on Monday I asked her what the pink rubber bracelet on her wrist said. “Faith Courage� with a ribbon between the two words.

Teens and Technology

A NEW VIRTUAL REALITY

BY KRIS HILL khill@covingtonreporter.com

In this new age of instant gratification in cyberspace, most young people don’t realize the lasting effects their virtual lives can have on their real lives, and it’s a lessons many are learning the hard way.

Educators and cybersafety experts are working with kids to teach them the importance of taking a moment to think about what may happen if they put every thought that pops into their head out on the Internet.

What kids see as funny could be viewed as everything from cyberbullying by teachers to irresponsible behavior by parents or potential employers or even something that raises the eyebrows of an admissions officer at a college.

THINK BEFORE YOU SEND There’s a saying floating around about the permanence of cyberspace: posting something to the web is like writing it on a wall in pen.

Michelle Bennett, Maple Valley police chief, did her doctoral dissertation on cyberbullying. “The Internet is permanent,� Bennett wrote in an email interview. “There are archive websites who take a sort of ‘screenshot’ of web and data media sites and warehouse store every image and post. Careful what you post on your Facebook or MySpace or other social media site.�

Future employers, college admissions officers and other influential decision makers do view Facebook profiles and Twitter accounts, Bennett stated. “Kids should know that future employers and college admission folks do look at your MySpace or Facebook page,� she wrote. “If a youth is posting pictures of himself underage with a bunch of beer cans, illegal drugs, partying – they will probably not be the first to be hired.�

Instead, use social media as the ultimate public relations profile, to create a brand for yourself and develop a positive image.

Bennett suggests posting photos of yourself doing good things and involved in activities.

Heidi Maurer, principal at Cedar Heights Middle School in Covington, is bringing in an anti-bullying expert to her school, Stu Cabe, on Sept. 12.

In her second year at the middle school, Maurer is working to change the culture there among students, and something that is crucial from the first day of class to deal with bullying both online and in real life.

During the first month of school, Maurer said, Cedar Heights won’t be on its usual schedule. One day a week students will be immersed in lessons about the school’s core values while the rest of the week there will be discussion about technology. “We’re going to do technology lessons so we can develop a common foundation about technology and we’re going to go over what’s appropriate and what’s not appropriate,� she said. “We’re going to teach them basic skills that we assume they already know.�

An important lesson, Maurer said, is for her students to learn to think before they send an email, a message on Facebook or a text.

Even with the problems that have come from the ability to communicate electronically, it’s not all bad, Maurer said. “In that increased communication there’s an upside,� she said. “Students feel like they can share things they otherwise wouldn’t share.�

Kush, of wiredsafety.org, said the most effective program his organization has come across is its Teen Angels group. “It’s a peer to peer type of thing where teenagers... they set up chapters much like you would any school based group,� Kush said. “They have what we call den mothers, adult leaders, and they work to impart this information in their schools. We’ve found for the most part kids are more receptive if they have one of their own giving them this information than if we have school assembly and some gray hair like me gets up and harangues them about how stupid they can be online.�

He encourages kids to remember the Golden Rule. “Don’t post something online about somebody that you wouldn’t want to have posted about yourself,� Kush said. “If you’re mad at somebody think about it for a day before you post.... think before you post anything.�

He also urges parents to limit their kids use of technology, which while he knows it may not be popular, it is the best way because just monitoring a child’s Facebook profile and Twitter account is only scratching the surface of their virtual lives.

Jason Krafsky said there is some basic etiquette parents and kids should be aware of when interacting with one another. “Parents and kids should have common respect for one another on Facebook,� he wrote. “Don’t embarrass one

Attitude and protecting your heart The Kent Reporter

It’s not far-fetched to think that optimistic people are not only happier but also healthier.

Some scientists now believe that keeping a positive attitude may even reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.

“Past research has linked optimism with a range of health benefits, including cardiovascular outcome,” Eric Kim said, a doctoral student in clinical psychology at the University of Michigan and lead author of a study that was recently published in the medical journal, “Stroke,” a publication of the American Heart Association. What always remained a mystery is exactly how a sunny temperament affects a person’s health.

“Optimism could be working by reducing blood pressure, or the extent to which blood pressure spikes when [someone is] stressed out, or it could be that those who are optimistic are more likely to engage in healthy behaviors such as good eating and exercise,” Dr. Redford Williams said, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University who has studied connections between personality and health.

Critics have pointed out

that there may be a correlative relationship between people’s psychological characteristics and their biological functions, rather than a causal connection.

“This doesn’t mean that all optimistic people will have a lower risk of stroke,” Dr. Joseph Broderick said, a professor of neurology at the University of Cincinnati. “Optimism can also work against making healthier decisions – you can be optimistic and feel like everything will work out, and so you don’t change your behavior for the better.”

Still, Kim and his colleagues are convinced they have found solid evidence for a strictly biological impact of positive thinking.

For the study, a group of more than 6,000 adults over the age of 50 were rated on a 16-point scale in terms of their general outlook on life. The researchers measured optimism levels with a modified “Life Orientation Test,” a widely used assessment tool in which participants rank their responses to a questionnaire on a numeric scale.

The results showed for each point increase in optimism a corresponding 9 percent decrease in acute stroke risk over a two-year follow-up period.

Adjustments were made for an array of other factors, like race, gender, marital status, body mass index, blood pressure, level of physical activity, alcohol

use, smoking, chronic illnesses and other health issues.

“Optimism seems to have a swift impact on stroke,” wrote Kim in a press release after the publication of his report. “In a similar way that depression can impact functioning, we think optimism can as well.”

Confidence & Smiles

Kim’s line of thinking, of course, is by no means revolutionary or even all that new.

In “Anatomy of an Illness,” a famous autobiographical account of overcoming a life- threatening illness, Norman Cousins describes in diary-style

another, don’t comment often on each others posts, and don’t deal with family issues on Facebook. For kids and non-related adults – we think more responsibility falls on the adult to determine if a Facebook friendship is appropriate.�

Kelli Krafsky, for example, will only accept friend requests from the friends of their teenage children but she doesn’t seek them out.

Meanwhile, Jason Krafsky is not friends with his kids’ friends on Facebook, explaining, “It’s a personal and professional choice.�

And most importantly, don’t forget the potential impact of what is posted online, Jason Krafsky said. “If a student is living by the old adage, ‘What happens on Facebook, stays on Facebook,’ they are fooling themselves,� he wrote. “Employers, colleges, military

and parents of future love interests are all checking your Facebook profile. We have heard about teens getting kicked off sports teams, school clubs and student leadership because of what they posted on Facebook.

We talked with someone from a summer camp who told us about a high school girl who wanted to be a camp counselor. Her resume was impressive. Her references checked out. Her interview went well. Her Facebook however, showed a very different person.

They couldn’t take the risk of which girl would show up at the camp. They didn’t hire her.�

CYBER SAFETY TIPS And with all that, young people should avoid other kinds of danger lurking in cyberspace. “Do not friend people you don’t really know,�

Kelli Krafsky wrote. “Even if you ‘met them’ online or through a game on Facebook, don’t open the door for them to know more about you. Do not post personal information like home address, phone number or full birthday (including year) on your Facebook profile. If someone needs it, they can message you. This is an added measure of security to avoid cyber crimes and real crimes.�

Bennett has similar suggestions. “Don’t talk to a person online you don’t know in real life,� Bennett wrote. “Never ever agree to meet with someone you meet online that you don’t know.

Don’t become the cyberbully by bullying back when someone bullies you. Never send inappropriate pictures of yourself to anyone, you lose control of the image the moment you do.�

Kentwood, Kentlake will again battle each other and Tahoma for the top spot in the SPSL North Division

BY KRIS HILL

khill@covingtonreporter.com

A handful of Kentwood players were among the athletes selected by coaches in a poll for the 2010-2011 4A All State teams. The poll was voted on

by Washington State Soccer Coaches Association members and other high school coaches across the state.

Coach of the Year – Aaron Radford, Kentwood First Team Defenders – Cody Crook and Eli Peterson, Kentwood.

Second Team Midfielders – Stefan Bangsund, Kentwood.

Honorable Mention Midfielders – Jared Fuller, Kentwood.

year ago Tahoma and Kentlake’s girls soccer teams battled it out for the top two spots in the South Puget Sound League 4A North Division but in the end Kentwood hoisted the state championship trophy.

This year, it may be a battle for the top again among those three squads, as the Bears and the Conquerors are atop the North Division standings while the Falcons are looking to break out of a slump.

DEFENDING CONQUERORS Being defending state champions can mean high expectations.

As of Sept. 19, the Conquerors were 3-0, but midfielders and co-captains Reilly Retz and Megan McNally felt like the team could be playing better.

McNally said that while winning state again is the ultimate goal, Kentwood has to deal with the pres-

Kentwood’s Megan McNally, right, defends Tahoma’s Sarah Jeric during the 2010 4A girls soccer state title game. Kentwood won the crown 1-0 in a shootout. The division rivals will square off on Oct. 1 at Tahoma High. FILE PHOTO sure it faces in defending its title, but “it just makes us work harder.”

“We’re obviously coming off a big win last year,” Retz said. “But, we’re trying to put last year behind us. It’s a new year.”

Retz noted that while on paper Kentwood seems to

be fine, on the field there’s something missing right now.

“We have a lot of individual talent,” she said. “Some players, we can play well together, but we have to get there as a whole team. We don’t have a rhythm and we’re not connecting as a

T-Birds prepare to end playoff drought

playoffs.

“I know the last couple of years not being very successful there’s always doubt.

But this year, having a new coaching staff, a couple of new faces in the room and a different leadership group, we are gelling together pretty well so far.”

The T-Birds open the 2011-12 season against the rival Portland Winterhawks at 7:05 p.m. Saturday, Sept.

That helped lead to the firing of coach Rob Sumner after last season and the June hiring Steve Konowalchuk, a former NHL player and Colorado Avalanche assistant coach.

“Everyone has to believe we can do it,” Gallimore said about making the

feat of Kentlake and 2-1 win against North Division foe Kentridge before squaring off against Mount Rainier on Tuesday.

also return Marcel Noebels (54 points), Luke Lockhart (48) and Colin Jacobs (44).

Second-leading points man Brenden Dillon, who played four years with the T-Birds, is now with the Texas Stars of the American Hockey League after signing a three-year contract in March with the Dallas Stars.

Seattle features nine new players, including four rookies, on its 25-man roster. Rookie defenseman Jared Hauf looms as one of the rookies to keep an eye on. “He’s competitive and he seems to be a smart player and has the skills to go with that,� Konowalchuk said about the 6-foot-5 Hauf. “He’s a young kid who still has to learn how to play a little bit in different situations and still work on his speed and get stronger to play with 19 and 20 year olds. But for 16 years old,

he’s a very good player and should have a good future.�

The T-Birds finished with a record of 27-35-5-5 last season. They placed ninth out of 10 teams in the Western Conference. The top eight teams advanced to the playoffs. “The U.S. Division is the toughest so it’s harder for us to make it,� Noebels said. “We were a young team last year and we’re still young this year.�

Noebels just returned Tuesday from two weeks at the Philadelphia Flyers training camp. As of Tuesday, goalie Calvin Pickard, Jacobs and Lockhart remained at NHL training camps and their availability for Saturday’s opener remained uncertain, although all are expected to eventually return to the T-Birds.

Konowalchuk likes his mix of veteran and young players. He noticed during the second half of train-

ing camp that the players are working hard but still having fun, something he wants them to continue to experience all season. “You’re going to see a team that’s passionate and playing with a purpose and determined to get the results,� Konowalchuk said.

Players have been inspired by the new coaching staff. “Those guys bring fresh air in here,� Noebels said. “We keep almost everyone from last year. We know how we play. The guys learned a lot from last year after we lost eight or nine in a row after Christmas. We have to find a playoff spot right away from the first game to the last game.�

Playoffs definitely dominate conversations among the T-Birds because of the two-year drought. “We’re trying to tell the young guys that it’s not fun losing,� Gallimore said. “You might miss home and stuff but you don’t want to go home when the (regular) season ends. You want to be here playing after that in the playoffs. We’ve got to get that in everyone’s heads

earlier and we shouldn’t have any problems this year.�

That playoff drive starts Saturday against the Winterhawks. “It’s going to be tough playing them all year,�

Konowalchuk said. “They are one of the best teams.

They have built that reputation up the last few years.

We have to come out and be on top of our game and make them work for everything they get. It gets back to puck management, wear them out and stick to the game plan.�

A game plan the T-Birds expect to lead them to the playoffs for the first time since the 2008-09 season. “You want to be in the Super Bowl in football and you want to be in the playoffs in hockey,� Noebels said.

Kentwood holds off Tahoma in 24-17 win The Thursday, Sept. 15 Kentwood and Tahoma football game was a tale of two halves with the Conks stopping the Bears in the closing minutes of the fourth to take a 24-17 victory at French Field.

Both teams came into the game with a loss and a victory and plenty to prove.

Tahoma had beaten Thomas Jefferson 38-31 in the opening game of the South Puget Sound League 4A North schedule and lost a nonleague match the next week at South Kitsap, 42-35.

Jefferson went on to upset Kentwood 24-7 the second week of the season which made the Tahoma game carry even more weight for the Conquerors.

The Conks came out swinging in the first frame posting 10 points.

Matt Hubbard scored on a 30-yard run and Mitchell Cox booted a 34-yard field goal.

In the second quarter Chance Kalua-Fuimaono broke a 44-yard run for another six. Cox kicked the

extra point.

The two teams went into the locker room at the half with Kentwood up 17-0.

The second half proved to be a different story as Tahoma began to put drives together and chipped away at the Conks lead.

At the beginning of the fourth David Stoecker hit a 26-yard field goal for the Bears.

The next possession for the Bears was pay dirt when Shane Nelson hit Jason Smith in the corner of the end zone on a 19-year pass.

Stoecker nailed the extra point and it was suddenly a seven point game.

Kentwood got busy and Kalua-Fuimaono broke a run for 22-yards and six points with Cox adding the extra point.

The closing minutes of the quarter got very interesting.

Nelson hit Dallin Williams on a 9-yard pass and the extra point made it 24-17.

With about 90 seconds remaining, Tahoma attempted an onside kick that appeared to work for few seconds, but Kentwood controlled as the clock

until the third quarter, putting South Puget Sound League 4A North Division rival Mount Rainier away 55-0 Saturday night at French Field.

On a rainy, cool night, the Falcons jumped out to a 13-0 lead on its first two possession of the game

ticked away with no more scoring.

Week four has Kentwood hosting a nonleague game against Puyallup at 7 p.m.

Saturday.

KENTLAKE 55, MOUNT RAINIER 0: Kentlake started scoring right away and didn’t stop

and never looked back.

Junior running back Caleb Mathena made it 20-0 to start the second quarter on a 16 yard scamper.

Next up Steffin Church, who started again at quarterback, tossed a 15yard touchdown strike to Jordan Seffens with 6:38

left in the third to make it 27-0.

Scoring was spread out among the running back corps as sophomore Riley Higgins made it 34-0 with his dash for the end zone.

Kentlake travels to Thomas Jefferson Friday.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
