Four games into the season, the Mount Si football team is about to face some of its toughest opponents.

“We’ve got three critical weeks in front of us,” said Mount Si head coach Charlie Kinnune Monday. “This week is the best in the state. Skyline Eastlake and Woodinville, they all have state implications.”

This week, the Wildcats travel to Skyline for their first away game since the season opener.

The team’s high-scoring win over Issaquah last Friday, though, is still worth celebrating. Highlights of the 27-6 victory included Eric Daniels making the first touchdown. He scored in the first quarter on a seven-yard pass from quarterback Zeke Barden, who went on to throw a 59-yard touchdown to Jesiah Irish in the same quarter. Irish scored again on a spectacular 74-yard run in the second quarter, and Jack Weidenbach sealed the win with a two-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.

The Wildcats rushed for a total of 234 yards, led by Max Bonda with 108, and passed for 169 yards.

Kinnune was pleased with the team’s running game Friday, saying “We have to be able to run the ball to take the pressure off our inexperienced passing game.”

He was also happy to see the penalty count tick down, he said, and happy with the win overall, but “I think we left about four touchdowns on the field.”

The Wildcats’ record stands at 2-2 this week. Their next home game is Friday, Oct. 7, against Eastlake.
