O'Dea -11' Rainier Beach (58)
3 units Rainer Beach +11' LOSS
*I had thought I would be backing the "Fighting Irish" of O'Dea when formulating my initial thoughts on this 3A Title game.....I looked at my notes from an earlier O'Dea game (with Eastside Catholic) and the name Jamyn Patu is still the workhorse he was in the season infancy.. This young man is really remarkable as he has amassed 1,921 yards on 215 carries, also scoring 26 Tds...the RB averages 151.1 rush yards per game... The 6'0" 195 lb Sr is a bruising running back that can be very elusive.... He plays right into HC Monte Kohler game plan of ground and pound, moving the clock and keeping possession.... Kohler has coached at at O'Dea for 3 decades... The offensive philosophy works with a fairly massive and athletic o-line that features 3A Metro Mountain Div Offensive Lineman of the Year..Griffen Korican.... The Irish is well coached and loaded with talent (some D1) up and down the roster.... QB Emonte Scott (Jr 6'3" 180 lbs) is an effective passer and will take it down and scoot as a dual threat...... The program is returning to the State Title after losing last year to Kamiakin in OT....
It isn't all bad when this team plays in OT contrary to last year's Championship result, as last week Patu had 259 yards w/3 Tds on 30 carries as O'Dea survived a nail biter by beating perennial power Bellevue (the team that upended CA Power DeLaSalle Win Streak) 34-33 in 2 OT, when Bellevue kicker missed wide right on the PAT.... Note: O'Dea does have a very good special teams play with Kicker Stephen Powell making a 22 yarder to force OT last week......
Rainier Beach has the distinction of no other school has played in more 3A State Title Games (in Basketball)(12) just ahead of another WA St school... O'dea (8)..In fact the Vikings Beat the Irish in the 2016 State Basketball Championship. Vikings are in their first State Football Championship after defeating Garfield last week... *The game was the first time 2 Seattle Public Schools had faced off in the Semi's. I guess what really needs to be mentioned here is that Garfield upset (quite miraculously) Eastside Catholic to advance to the Semis... Many people predicted and assumed that E Catholic would roll through the playoffs into the title game..... QB for Rainier is a transfer from Garfield, Sr Max Nall is 165 for 255 with 2,817 yards w/25 Tds...
In last weeks game he was 15 of 24 for 212 yards w/1 TD, he also contributed 10 carries for for 52 yards rushing and a TD.... His goto receiver is Mason Starling (73 receptions for 1,532 yards w/20 Tds.) Defensively, Rainier is very stout with the front 7 and in the secondary where the Coaches kid Darrien Sampson helps lead the D.... HC Corey Sampson played for Franklin-Pierce in 1990 & 1991 he went on to play at Northeast LA where he was tied for 5th in the Nation with 6 INTs in 1995...
Both schools are nearly identical in stats with O'Dea holding a slight advantage with 38.1 points per game while Falcons average 35 ppg..... Defensively, O'dea holds teams to 14.25 while Rainier holds at 19.58....When these two met on Oct 6, O'dea walked away 27-12 victory, however, perhaps there should be an asterisk next to this game as Rainier Beach was without 5 starters for that game (3 are D1 bound).... I'm not altogether sure that the line has accounted for this and I'm not convinced that the Falcons can't get a win, but I'll take the points in what could be a fairly low scoring, defensive minded game that may come down to a possession....
