Garfield Downs MI 7-5 RecapSubmitted by walax on Sat, 2006-04-15 01:24.Tonight, we will see the match up of a Mercer Island team fresh off of a successful road trip, and Garfield off the game of year short-handed. Has MI finally gelled? Will Garfield open the offensive cannons early? Seattle Prep vs. Issaquah Game RecapSubmitted by walax on Wed, 2006-04-12 20:37.Just thirty seconds into the game, and Prep is on the board with a Shane Oneill shot top center. The lefty fired one top center on Johnson and the score is 1-0 Prep. Mikey Travers returns to keeper for the Panthers and settles into a groove as the Eagles turn the ball over on passing to give Prep another opportunity that they can't capitalize on.

RECAPS
DIVISION I
Parity seems to be the story this week. Prep dropped one to Vashon who came to play, at home on Monday missing O’Neill in their line-up. Curtis was missing three starters in their loss to Issaquah, and Bellevue picked up a strong win over Prep at Prep’s house. Bellevue has a tough week ahead of them, as does Prep with Bellevue playing Issaquah and Bainbridge this week. Also, Garfield plays Mercer who will be coming back from a road trip to Norht Carolina and Garfield coming off of the best game to watch of the year in their overtime defeat of Issaquah. The top spots may change possession a few more times, the parity this year is very satisfying. Was Bainbridge over Garfield a fluke? Was Bellevue over Issaquah a fluke? I see the 6-8th spots as completely up in the air, but look for the mid-season evaluation of playoff contention next week. If you get an opportunity to watch the video of Issaquah vs. Garfield, it was incredible. Hats off to both teams!
Bainbridge Island BI is officially 6-0 and hitting their stride. Defeating Maple Valley, BI has a host of weapons in the shed right now with a gelling offense and a solid defense. The Gilbreath brothers and Weisner have been playing very well to support Masi, Delius, Colegrove, Knight and others. BI is uncontested at this point, but will have an interesting game against Bellevue on Tuesday.
Garfield Playing a short game against a beat up Haile squad in their 12-2 win of just three quarters, Garfield went into the Issaquah game with just four subs on the bench. Garfield’s keeper Montoya is playing very strong as are Snider, Hoffman, and Rohrbach. Attackman Jason Travis broke the drought this week, but will have to begin producing in order for Garfield to keep developing.
Issaquah Takes their first OT loss in their game against Garfield. Defeating Curtis two days before minus three of Curtis’s starters led them into Friday. Defensively, Gerrard has been playing terrifically as has Smith and Johnson. More production from Wright and Yaap now that he is back will help Campi shoulder his leadership role as will continued Kale support from the brothers. Issaquah is a run and gun team, and will need to keep relying on the youth to help peak in mid-season. Issaquah is explosive, and will be a play for the championship if they can keep MI down.
Seattle Prep Vashon beat Prep last week without a full strength O’Neill and fire in their bellies.Prep has a tough week facing Bainbridge and Issaquah back-to-back. If Prep leaves Thramer in cage (assuming no Travers) and allows their defense to gel, we may have games both ways. The Prep offense has been generating with and without O’Neill, but his return will be essential for success in these two big games. One nice surprise has been Sam Bernoski, who has been producing for Prep. A well-rounded offense in addition to settling defense and goalie situations will be key to begin a mid-season settled run.
Bellevue Defeating lakeside on Friday, Bellevue plays two games on Saturday in Oregon. Tuesday will be a true test against the undefeated Spartans though it is Spring Break. If Bellevue can get offensive output and possession time minus their line of d-mids, Spangler may be able to lead his offense against Weisner and company at home. Defensively, Bellevue has been playing solid ball, and will have to keep the ball out of Delius and Masi’s hands to keep the game in check.
Curtis Goes into their spring break week with an easy win over the Roughriders and developing a well-balanced offense. At times the Yerglers, Hodge, and Grimstead ball movement is tremendous, their defense is young but improving. Dropping their game to Issaquah came after not playing three starters. Curtis is showing they have what it takes to make the playoffs already, we will have to see what happens at Bellevue next week.
Vashon In solid form against Prep last week, Vashon’s new formula seems to be working. I think Coach DuPuis said it best stating Vashon is on a mission. Friday’s test against Garfield will pair potent offenses up. Vashon has led ground balls in the last three games and possession time. Led by Craighead and Serko, Kimbrough and McMurdo continue improving as does Wilks who is just getting back into the fold. Vashon continues to impress as the freshman class in Division I.
Mercer Island Mercer had an easy week with a game against Lakeside, their out-of-state trip will hopefully get the Islanders into a groove they have been looking for thus far. Beating Charlotte Latin was a good start, the Islanders also defeated Providence Day on Monday, a team that is 10-0. Mercer has the week to prepare for Garfield on Friday, another great game to define MI.
Lakeside Dropped a nail-biter to Maple Valley Last Saturday, and then a pair of tough games against Mercer and Bellevue. The Lions have to unseat Prep as number two to make the playoffs and will continue to count on Copenhaver, the Holmes brothers and Rothblatt for production. The Lakeside defense continues to improve, this is a rebuilding year for a young team with a bright future.
Maple Valley Buckman, Butt, Tooley and Johnson helped lift the Vandals over Lakeside in a great game. Maple Valley then faced two tough games in BI and MI. Both islands came away with wins, but Maple Valley has potential. The Vandals have their work cut out for them on Wednesday against Garfield, pitting a developing attack against a developing attack. If Maple Valley will have their work cut out for them, and will play Eastside. The Vandals still have time to get out of the Sound doghouse, but are members of the developing second best conference behind teams who are firing on all cylinders right now.
Eastside The Mountain-bourne Ravens have two games against the Sound conference bottom in Vashon and Maple Valley. Eastside has relied on Bearson all season, and he will need continued help from Liias and Finkenstadt to win games on points alone. The Ravens defense led by Sophomore net minder John Olin will have to have big games this week, but may be able to battle for wins.
Roughriders Truitt played a gritty game in their loss to Curtis. Roosevelt will have to get perspective on their goals for the season. Their season success will be determined by what Pawluskiewicz, Shaul and Hennings bring to help Grose, and the defensive effort exerted by Wheeler and company.
Nathan Hale Springer, Benitez and Shiplett lead the listless Hale Raiders looking for leadership and wins this week. Hale will travel to Issaquah to take on the Eagles before another game against Curtis. Hale is winless, but not hopeless- Defense is key and solid focus from team leaders and coaches can break the drought.

If you came out to the Seattle Pacific University fields Sunday, you witnessed more than 200 kids and a who's who of coaches attending Gary Gait's players clinic. Girls and boys from 3rd grade through high school were out on the field together, doing dodging drills, passing drills and learning from the Michael Jordan of Lacrosse, Gary Gait.
