High SChool FALL Sports preview Friday night lights

MOUNT SI FOOTBALL

Traditions shine bright for Mount Si football | ‘The Dome. That’s our number one goal’ When the crowd fills the stadium, when the Friday night lights power up, senior lineman Griffin McLain definitely senses spirit. “Just see, on Friday, how many people come out here,” he says. “The whole Valley is out here.” That tradition is palpable, too, for teammates Mitch Rorem, playing at center, and Trent Riley, a wide receiver. It’s a whole new line, except for Stephen Nnabue, but Rorem says that it feels like they’ve been playing together forever. Following weeks of practice, communication is strong. Riley missed his junior season due to a knee issue, but he’s back in for senior year. KingCo, as always, looks like tough competition, “but I think we’re ready,” Riley says. McLain’s goal: “Go out every week, compete. Get the win, and try to have our best year ever.” Rorem and Riley are in agreement on the destination. “The Dome. That’s our number one goal,” says Riley.

Mount Si’s cross country vets share the philosophies that keep them running Bailey Scott has been up in front of the Mount Si cross country pack for more than a season now. Running comes naturally to her, but as she pushes further ahead, she finds that it takes more work to succeed. “Being on the team, being with my friends is low key, no stress,” the junior says. “But you still want to push yourself as far as you can.” She wants to see fellow girls runners work together, “motivate each other and push each other to districts,” Scott said. She has her eyes on the top ranks in district and league, and finally, state competition.

For the boys, senior Tim Corrie is in his second year of cross country (he’s been in track for four years). “I have a different philosophy than almost anyone else on the team,” Corrie says. “Every sport I do, helps another sport. And I love to run.” Distance running this fall helps Corrie in his wrestling career this winter. Corrie started running in sixth grade. He says he didn’t start out super strong. But little by little, he has improved. Corrie would like to make state and break 16:30 on the 5k course, as would fellow senior Dom Canady. Asked what it means to be a Wildcat runner, Canady says “it means putting the team on your back.” He cares about his team, and wants to see this squad become tightly knit. “We have a small team. We should really learn everyone’s names, get to know everyone,” Canady says. “So, at the end, no matter how well you did, you know a lot of people.”
