Prep football results for Friday, Sept. 21

There have been some surprises in the first month of the football season in the new North Sound Conference.

King’s and Sultan, the two preseason conference co-favorites, have a combined 1-7 record after both squads lost Friday. The Knights fell to Cascade (Leavenworth) 40-10, while the Turks lost to Friday Harbor 8-6.

Meanwhile, South Whidbey and Coupeville posted wins Friday to improve to 3-1. The Falcons defeated Concrete 14-13, and the Wolves beat La Conner 33-12. Cedar Park Christian, which didn’t play Friday, is 2-1.

North Sound Conference play will begin next week.

Here are recaps and statistics from all of Friday’s local games:

♦♦♦

Glacier Peak 68, Kamiak 13

Ayden Ziomas threw five touchdowns passes, three to tight end Evan Mannes, as Glacier Peak improved to 4-0 on the season and 2-0 in Wesco 4A play with a win over visiting Kamiak.

Grizzlies coach Nick Bender said one of the most impressive plays of the evening came on the Glacier Peak’s second-to-last touchdown play, as senior wide receiver David Castro made one-handed grab for a 20-yard score.

“It was pretty phenomenal,” Bender said.

Quarterback Nick Laman ran for a touchdown and threw for another for the Knights (0-4).

The Bearcats improved to 1-3, while the Marauders fell to 1-3.

Lake Stevens 30, Mount Vernon 7

Revitalized Mount Vernon gave No. 4 Lake Stevens everything it could handle in the first half of a Wesco 4A contest, forcing Vikings quarterback Tre Long to beat the Bulldogs with his arm.

The senior was up to the challenge, throwing a pair of touchdown passes in the second half lift to the visiting Vikings to a hard-earned win.

Lake Stevens coach Tom Tri had some high praise for Mount Vernon coach Nic Vasilchek and the Bulldogs.

“I thought they were much improved, even from last year. They were very disciplined and played hard and physical,” Tri said. “Up front, they played six or seven guys in the box and were every bit as physical as anyone else we’ve played.”

Mount Vernon went into the locker room tied at halftime after a 20-yard run by Seth Tercero in the second quarter.

“They were physical and fast to the ball and were doing a good job of stopping our run game,” Tri said. “They were taking things away, so we had to start throwing the ball.”

Tri said the Bulldogs came out in a cover-zero look with man-to-man coverage on the outside, and were geared up to contain Lake Stevens running backs Dallas Landeros and Tom Lewis.

“We grew tonight,” Tri said. “You don’t want to go into halftime struggling offensively like we were, but we grew when they made us change our game plan. We weren’t expecting that and we hadn’t seen that look before. I give them all the credit in the world. They had a great game plan put together, but I think they got a little tired in the second half and we wore them down a little bit. But we were very impressed by the Bulldogs.”

The Turks fell to 1-3.
