About 800 tickets for the Sept. 18 nationally-televised high school football dream contest between Issaquah's Skyline High (with BYU QB recruit Jake Heaps) and California's Oaks Christian High (with UW QB recruit Nick "Son of Joe" Montana) go on sale tomorrow at 8 a.m. at Skyline High School. Cash or check only. We will be at a wedding in Buffalo--does no one check the high school football schedules anymore?

We are sitting in front of the TV watching the Issaquah-Skyline 4A championship game, still working on a heaping plate of leftovers from last weekend. (Does turkey have an expiration date?) This game was originally scheduled for Saturday, but was moved to accommodate Bellevue, who plays Union in the 3A final. Bellevue played a rescheduled game earlier this week after their bus rolled over on the way to last week's game. Here...grab a plate.

Tonight's KingCo 4A football championship game between the Skyline Spartans and the Bothell Cougars will be broadcast nationally tonight at 5 p.m. on ESPNU. Skyline (8-0) is ranked seventh nationally by USA Today and features QB phenom Jake Heaps. Bothell comes into the game at 6-2, and has won its last five games.

A few years back, we braved a soccer match between two top flight teams in Buenos Aires. A 'super-classico' as they call it. Barbed wire and riot police ringed the field and more than once a cannon was fired. The tension was palpable. Early in the match, the visiting goalkeeper was hit in the head with what the papers later reported was a keychain. Bleeding, the goalkeeper was stitched up on the sidelines and his head was wrapped up Frankenstein style. Later, with the game scoreless, the visiting team was awarded a penalty shot. The coach waved at the goalkeeper, and as the home crowd lost their collective minds, the goalkeeper trotted down, took the shot, scored, then proceeded to jog back to his net, flipping off the crowd the entire length of the field. He spent the rest of the night tucked under his goal, with a big grin, we imagine.

Who is the best quarterback in the state? Matt Hasselbeck? We don't think so. Jake Locker? Sorry Husky fans. You are only half right.
