Prime prospects

Tavita Pritchard

QB, 6-4, 180, Sr., Clover Park

Led Seamount in passing last season and has solid group of receivers back this year. One of the state's top quarterback recruits, already has a scholarship offer from Stanford.

Erich Williams

QB, 6-2, 195, Sr., Lakes

Last year's first-team all-division QB is back to lead the high-scoring Lancers offense. Keeping with the Lakes tradition, Williams will throw often, but he did lose a big group of receivers from last year's team.

Mike Fuaau
 
LB/RB, 6-0, 210, Sr., Washington

The league's top linebacker will anchor the defense for first year coach Chris Nofo, a former CFL linebacker from Mount Tahoma. On offense, he'll be expected to dish out more punishment to would be tacklers.

Rising stars

Justin Gran

QB/S, 5-10, 170, Jr., White River

Took handoffs from his brother Jason last year, but this year will be expected to lead the Hornets from the quarterback position.

Jesse Cedarland

QB, 6-0, 185, Sr. Peninsula

One of league top receivers last year, Cedarland, will move behind center this year having been groomed as the successor to Mike Roncevich.

Key game

Clover Park at Lakes

Nov. 29, 7 p.m., Harry Lang Stadium

Last year, Warriors ended rival Lakes' 45-game regular-season win streak in 42-21 stunner. This year's game will feature two of area's best QBs and could have big playoff implications.
