With "Hollywood High" heading to Sammamish on Friday, I asked around to see which celebrity parents would be traveling to Skyline to watch their kids.

As the father of Oaks Christian quarterback Nick Montana, former Super Bowl winner Joe Montana will be on hand. NHL legend Wayne Gretzky is expected to watch his son, Trevor, the Lions' backup QB and Will Smith should be in the house to watch his son, Trey.

Now that we've got the celebrity gossip out of the way, let's get back to football.

The Spartans are trying to treat this week like any other, and they seem to be handling it well early on. This is not the first time they've prepared for a TV game and it's not even their first big test of the season after beating Jesuit (Portland) at Qwest Field in Week 1.

"The worst thing we can do is get caught up in the media, and the hype behind it and the crowd," Skyline coach Mat Taylor said. "The bottom line is, when the lights come on and they cross onto the field, it’s a 100-yard field and it’s our home field where we feel very comfortable."

The game is being hyped as a matchup of quarterbacks -- the future Husky against the hometown standout -- but the game could really come down to defense. I'm interested to see how Erik Kohler -- also a UW recruit -- and Oaks Christian's offensive line handle the Spartans' defense.

A few weeks ago I talked to Skyline receiver Kasen Williams. He said Sept. 1 was the first day juniors could receiver offers from colleges. At the time Williams said he expected his phone to start ringing off the hook with both calls and text messages.

The day came and went much quieter than expected. However, that doesn't mean Williams felt unwanted. Instead of calls and texts, the junior was slammed with mail.

"My box was filled up," he said with a laugh.

Here are a couple of other items I followed up on today:

Mount Si pulls off upset

Mount Si coach Charlie Kinnune spent most of last week hammering home the same point: It takes four full quarters to string together a win.

It sounds like an obvious concept, but it is something young teams can never hear enough.

During halftime of the Wildcats’ 24-21 upset win over Issaquah, Kinnune told his players to celebrate the game’s first two quarters. Then he asked the kids for two more.

They delivered.

“I’m extremely proud of the kids and the coaches,” Kinnune said. “A lot of times in situations like this, especially when you live in a small community and the high-school programs are what people talk about, you’re either the goat or you’re the hero. It was a tough week around here last week. The adults, at times, have it tougher than the kids. Our coaches did a great job of staying focused and dealing with what’s important.”

In his first career start, senior quarterback Chris Clark completed 15 of 17 passes for 226 yards and three touchdowns.

"In my 18 years, I don’t know if we’ve ever been that efficient,” Kinnune said. “That was really nice for him to come out and do really well.”

Two keys to Juanita’s success

The last time Juanita started 2-0 was 1999 when the Rebels opened the season 6-0. Since then they have only had a winning record twice.

This year, after a perfect two-game start, Juanita’s football program is generating a buzz.

“It’s exciting for the players, it’s exciting for the staff and we feel good,” Rebels coach Shaun Tarantola said. “We feel like we’ve played two pretty good football teams and we’ve played well overall against them.”

When asked to explain the reason behind Juanita’s success, Tarantola provided two reasons.

No. 1, the Rebels are stopping the run.

“That’s been huge for us,” he said. “Our defense has really defended the run.”

No. 2, Juanita has yet to turn the ball over. The Rebels haven't broken off many big plays, but they have been able to sustain drives and control time of possession.

"That's really given us a good opportunity to win," Tarantola said.
