Issaquah 36, Inglemoor 7
The Eagles continued to soar Friday night, beating Inglemoor 36-7 at Pop Keeney Stadium, and improving their record to 3-0.
Issaquah got off to a fast start with a 4-yard touchdown pass from Joey Bradley to Ross Zuhl. Running back Grant Gellatly gave the Eagles a 13-0 halftime lead with a 9-yard score. Inglemoor scored first in the second half, but from there it was all Issaquah. Bradley, who was 15 of 21 for 241 yards, hit Nik Landdeck for a 33-yard strike and Zuhl for a 61-yard score. Gellatly, who carried 12 times for 63 yards, added another score from 1-yard out — his ninth of the season.
Issaquah’s defense shut Inglemoor down, earning three sacks and holding the Vikings to less than 30 yards of total offense in the second half.
Issaquah kicks off the KingCo Crest season tonight at home against Garfield.
Issaquah vs. Garfield
Kickoff: 7 p.m. tonight at home
Quick look: The Bulldogs are 0-3 this season, most recently falling 42-13 to Roosevelt. Garfield features the top prospect in the state in defensive end Deandre Coleman, a 6-foot-5, 295-pound senior. The Bulldogs have, however, struggle to stop teams and score, losing by a combined score of 118-40 this season.
Prediction: Issaquah is playing in front of its homecoming crowd this Friday — not a pleasant sight for a struggling Garfield team. Final score: 49-7 Issaquah.
Eastside Catholic 28, North Mason 7

Mike Bush ran for 157 yards on 21 carries and scored on a 16-yard run. Marion Bactol ran for 76 yards on six carries and added a 6-yard TD. The Crusaders had nine players total 321 rushing yards.

Eastside Catholic vs. Lakeside
Kickoff: 7 p.m. tomorrow at home
Quick look: Lakeside is 3-0 with wins over two class 1A opponents and one 2A opponent. The Lions have generated more than 1,000 yards of rushing offense in their first three games behind the two-headed monster of Michael Schwartz and Duncan Hussey.
Prediction: Eastside Catholic is playing its first game on its new home field and will be energized. Lakeside has yet to see a team with the speed of the Crusaders. Final score: 35-7 Eastside Catholic.
