Game notes

  • Union hosts another familiar face in non-league play. The Titans beat Curtis twice last season, 24-7 in the regular season and 42-14 in the state preliminary round playoff.
  • One coach will still be unbeaten at his career at his new school when Heritage plays Hudson’s Bay. Heritage has a first-year coach in Matt Gracey, and Bay’s first-year coach is Mark Oliverio.
  • In four games after taking over as Union’s starter last season, Jordan Lawson threw three touchdowns passes — total. He had three in the first half last week against Federal Way and finished with six.
  • Hockinson’s 28-0 win over La Center was the third consecutive shutout in non-league regular-season games for the Hawks.
  • The Camas and Mountain View football teams are the two road warriors in the first two weeks. With trips to Seattle and Bothell, the Thunder will have logged 706 total miles on the bus in the first two weeks of the season. But the Papermakers have them beat. Camas, with trips to Pasco and Federal Way, will log 728 total miles in two weeks.
