De La Salle High School football team's winning streak ends at 151

Kennedy???? Those tools are overrated every year because they beast eveyone in the worthless seamount league. The Metro league is one of the best leagues in the state. Kinco might be the best.

Where did you go and when? Because I remember the 1995 O'Dea team was awesome. They were actually ranked like 19th in the country that year. Only gave up like 21 points all season(including the state playoffs). They were back to back 2A champs, but they haven't had the same luck since they moved up to 3A, even though they make the state playoffs every year.

I went to Hazen High School. Part of the worthless Seamount league. Early 90s grad, it was 91 and 92 that we got beat in the semis.

I hated Kennedy with a passion.

[ThaSaltCracka]

ah, Hazen. I live like 10 minutes from there. I have some friends that graduated from there in 96.

I still hate Kennedy.

Hisssssssssssssssss! I went to Renton, back when they were one of the best football teams in the state (beat Bellevue in the playoffs my junior year, as a matter of fact). Senior year we were undefeated, ranked 7th in the country by USA Today, but ran into Billy Joe Hobert in the first round of the playoffs. Bad times.

[ThaSaltCracka]

are you in Bellevue to?

Renton HS? Have you seen it lately? Their football team still sucks, but they have a nice school now.

O'Dea usually kills them in Football/Basketball/track/everything [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

To borrow a phrase from BisonBison, usually reserved for the SS forum:

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O!!!!

That must have been back in the NPSL days that Renton was good at football.

Edit- doublepost demon pwned me.

I think it was either the last year or 2nd to last year of the NPSL (I graduated in '88).

Renton had a decent football team last year, but just missed the playoffs after some late season missteps. They had a very good basketball team that lost a heartbreaker in the state tourney.

Any team (ODEA?) that can recruit students from outside its geographic area is going to have a huge advantage over smaller public schools.

[/ QUOTE ] Its not recruting if the players want to go there. O'Dea/Seattle Prep/Blanchet/ Eastside Catholic/ Kennedy are just not restricted to school districts.

FWIW, public schools are not immune to recruiting. I know that when Mercer Island had an awesome b-ball team in the late 90's, several of their best players didn't even live on Mercer Island.

I went to Monte Vista High School, and it always sucks having to play De La Salle. We won two NCS 3A championships in a row, and got moved up to the 4A division with De La Salle. So much for winning any more NCS titles.
