Well, after rushing for 150 yards and five touchdowns Friday night, it seems safe to say Issaquah running back Grant Gellatly is finally healthy.

After the Eagles' 42-10 victory over Kentwood in the preliminary round of 32, the senior said he is still struggling with his breakaway speed, but he seemed thrilled just to be back and healthy.

Just his presence on the field seems to give his teammates a confidence boost. He adds a nice complement to the impressive passing numbers Issaquah has put up all season. On rainy nights like this one, Gellatly's pressence adds another dimension to an already talented offense.

I expected this to be a closer matchup. It sounds like the Conquerors had some players out with the flu. They kept the game close early. I was particularly impressed with the play of Josh Smith, the basketball standout who decided to give football a try his senior season. The kid can play. The most impressive thing he did all game was chase down Nik Landdeck at the end of a 50-yard run. Smith caught Landdeck from behind and showed impressive speed.

I was also impressed with Landdeck, a linebacker who was all over the field.

Speaking of Smith, I saw University of Washington basketball coach Lorenzo Romar in the stands with assistant coach Paul Fortier watching the big man play football. Smith has yet to decide where he will play hoops next season.

-- This is from Thursday, but it's a nice stat line: King's Curtis Clauson had three catches for 88 yards and three TDs, two INTs (one returned for 43-yard TD), a fumble recovery for 69-yard touchdown and seven solo tackles.

I think that's all the information I'm going to throw out there tonight. I'm going to be at Mountlake Terrace's first-ever playoff game on Saturday, so I'll have more information then, I might even do a quick chat before the game if anyone is hanging around the blog.
