Visualizing basketball scoring

Adam McFadden — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 01:00:07 +0000

Here are breakdowns of the Seamount teams’ scoring. Each colored portion represents a player’s percentage of the total team points.

Some clarity for basketball playoff scenarios

Adam McFadden — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 00:47:12 +0000

There’s quite a bit of confusion about how the Seamount’s new 3A/2A split will change playoff allocations. Here’s an attempt to clear things up:

2A

Seamount teams: Renton, Lindbergh, Evergreen, Foster and Tyee, plus Interlake out of the KingCo 3A/2A

Breakdown: There are five sub-district spots for these six teams. That means Lindbergh and Renton (both boys and girls teams) are all safely in.

Next level: The top two seeds carry a big advantage into the postseason. Those teams enter into a double-elimination portion of sub-districts and have already clinched a spot in districts. All other seeds will need to win two games in a row to make districts.

3A

Seamount teams: Hazen, Kennedy Catholic and Highline, plus Bremerton out of the Olympic 3A/2A/1A

Breakdown: There are three sub-district spots for four teams. Locally, the Hazen boys and girls teams are both in.

Next level: The top two seeds are both moving on to districts. The top seed gets a bonus since that team’s worst case scenario is third district seed, and that would only happen if it lost two both sub-district games.
The third seed must win its first game to advance to districts.

Bremerton: Seamount 3A teams and Bremerton get one point for wins over 1A and 2A opponents and 1.5 points for wins against 3A and 4A opponents. Points are totaled, then divided by the number of games to determine seeding.

Lindbergh cross country… wow

Adam McFadden — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 23:26:10 +0000

The Lindbergh boys cross-country team finished with a perfect 15 at the Seamount League meet last Thursday. This is just the latest in an astounding run of Lindbergh cross-country teams.
The Eagles boys teams are 45-2 in league competition since 2005. Going back to 1999 when head coach Jef Rettmann took over, the boys team is 80-11.
The past three years have been especially impressive for the Lindbergh program as a whole. The boys and girls varsity squads are a combined 45-1 in that span with six league titles and three top six finishes at state (with this year’s state meet in a couple of weeks).

Liberty injury news; offensive leaders

Adam McFadden — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 20:46:50 +0000

Despite averaging 37.5 points per game this season, Liberty’s passing attack hasn’t been at full strength most of the time.
Receiver Jake Bainton left in the third quarter of Liberty’s opening game against Skyline and didn’t return until last week. Meanwhile Josh Gordon, who was outstanding against Skyline with four catches for 169 yards and two touchdowns, got hurt early in the Patriots’ next game against Issaquah and has been hobbled since.
Bainton is obviously back as he caught seven passes for 137 yards and two touchdowns last week. Liberty coach Steve Valach said Wednesday that Gordon is looking good too. That’s great news for Patriot fans as the team takes on a tough Juanita squad this Friday night.
Liberty is 3-1 overall and 2-0 in KingCo 3A/2A.

Offensive leaders through four games:
QB Trey Wheeler: 47-97 for 870 yards, nine touchdowns and four interceptions
RB Chandler Jenkins: 68 rushes for 507 yards and seven touchdowns
WR Jake Bainton: 12 receptions for 193 yards and two touchdowns

Liberty’s Nicole Lecoq working towards Ironman

Adam McFadden — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 20:37:43 +0000

Liberty senior Nicole Lecoq picked up four state-qualifying times in the Patriots’ first meet of the season earlier this month. I spoke with Liberty coach Kris Daughters Wednesday and Lecoq now has qualified for state is six events, leaving her two shy of the Ironman (qualifying for state in every event).
Lecoq would be the first Liberty girl swimmer since 2003, and the first Patriot swimmer overall since 2005, to complete the challenge.
She holds Liberty team records in the 100 free (53.26 seconds), 500 free (5:20.84) and 400 free relay (3:50:59, along with Mackenzie Maynes, Michela Lecoq and Elise Tinseth).

Lindbergh’s Sarah Reiter running away from the competition

Adam McFadden — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 17:26:13 +0000

Lindbergh junior Sarah Reiter has the state’s top 5,000-meter time at 18:00.79. The next-best time from a 2A runner is Kingston’s Marina Roberts at 19:11.77.
Reiter has been dominating early-season competition so far. She put up the best times at the Tahoma Co-ed relays and Seamount Class meet. She won the Fort Steilacoom Invitational Sept. 18 and she placed second at the Nike Pre-Nationals Sept. 25.

Reiter took 14th at the 3A state meet last season.

Liberty’s Jake Bainton left the Patriots’ win against Skyline Sept. 3 with a shoulder injury and didn’t return to the game.

Liberty coach Steve Valach said Bainton, who starts at safety and wide receiver, is a game time decision for the Patriots game against Issaquah Friday.

Lindbergh teams land familiar spot, but in new poll

Adam McFadden — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 16:33:39 +0000

After both the Lindbergh boys and girls team placed sixth at the 3A state meet last season, the Eagles moved down to the 2A this year. And they’re getting the same respect.
The Lindbergh boys showed up third in the 2A preseason coaches poll, behind Sehome and Mark Morris.
The girls are also third, behind just Sehome and Kingston.
No other local teams showed up on the 3A or 2A polls.

Lindbergh gets new volleyball coach

Adam McFadden — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 16:28:26 +0000

Tom Muckerheide is the new volleyball coach at Lindbergh.
Muckerheide moves to Lindbergh after 25 years at Kennedy Catholic. He led the Lancers to the state tournament 16 times and earned 12 trophies (taking second four times). Kennedy won 19 Seamount titles, including the past eight.
Muckerheide replaces Bob Stewart, who had been at Lindbergh since 2002.

A Liberty opponent bulks up

Adam McFadden — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 20:14:26 +0000

Juanita, who finished 7-3 last season and lost to Liberty 28-21, is getting a boost from five transfers from Marysville-Pilchuck this season.
Mike Cane of the Everett Herald does a great job breaking down who the players are and what the moves mean for both teams.
This makes things just a little tougher for Liberty in the KingCo. Juanita and Bellevue, along with the Patriots, are expected to challenge for the league’s top spot this season.

Lindbergh’s Diondre Toms ranked as top DB prospect in Washington

Adam McFadden — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 17:35:33 +0000

Lindbergh senior Diondre Toms was recently ranked as the top defensive back in Washington on ESPN’s college football recruiting website.
Here are the scouting comments on the 6-foot, 165-pound cornerback:
“Toms is an athletic, rangy defensive back prospect. Best college position may be free safety down the line. Has good height and body length. Is very lean and needs to fill out, but his long arms and stride allow him to cover a lot of ground. Better in coverage at the next level.”

Hazen hires new swim and volleyball coaches

Adam McFadden — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 16:56:55 +0000

Hazen has hired new swimming and volleyball coaches.
The Highlanders’ new swim coach is Ken Alfonso and the new volleyball coach is Cari O’loughlin-Britt.
Alfonso swam at Cal Poly at San Luis Obispo, Calif. He previous coached girls water polo and swim at Lincoln High School in Stockton, Calif.
O’loughlin-Britt coached volleyball for 13 years at Kennedy Catholic High School. She also coached at Arlington High School.
In May, the Renton School District decided to combine the Renton and Lindbergh programs into a cooperative swim program. After that, the District ended the swim coaching positions at Renton, Lindbergh and Hazen.
In June, the District reconsidered the cooperative swim program and decided to scrap all of the changes.

Tim Lincecum makes the N.L. All-Star team for third straight year

Adam McFadden — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 17:18:30 +0000

Liberty High graduate and San Francisco Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum made his third straight All-Star team earlier this week.
Lincecum, who has won the past two N.L. Cy Young awards, currently sports a 3.28 Earned Run Average (ERA). That’s the highest he’s had since his rookie year in 2007, when he posted a 4.00 mark.

SD Dirk
Lincecum’s 9.93 Strikeouts Per Nine Innings (K/9) and 3.78 Walks Per Nine Innings (BB/9) rates also represent the worst since 2007.
The decrease in K/9 is likely a fluke as Lincecum’s Contact% (percentage of time batters make contact) is lower than last year. In fact, the 73.2 percent rate is the best he’s ever had.
Lincecum’s SwStr% (swinging strike percentage) is 11.7, up from his 11.1 career rate – another good sign the strikeouts could be on the way back up.
The fact that 2010 has been disappointing shows just how lofty Lincecum has set the standards with early in his career.

Adam McFadden — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 16:47:05 +0000

Holland made the first team all-Seamount offensive team. He placed third at the 3A state meet in the 110-meter hurdles.
