Lake Washington football falls to Bellevue, heads to Sammamish this week
The Lake Washington football team suffered their third loss of the season last Friday, going down 56-14 to the 3A state champions Bellevue.
The Kangs couldn’t hold back Bellevue during the first half, as the Wolverines scored 43 unanswered points in the first 24 minutes.
Lake Washington found a way to slow down Bellevue’s offense in the second, with their opponent earning just one touchdown in the third quarter, followed by a second in the fourth.
The Kangs put their first numbers on the board when Max Simpkins made a 4-yard touchdown run, capped off by a solid kick from Adam Krebs. Moments later Bellevue scored an 80-yard touchdown for the Wolverines final run of the night. But with the ball in their possession Lake Washington found their way back to the end zone thanks to a 25-yard Shawn Grey pass to Phil Luong and another solid kick for the final score.
Tonight the Kangs travel to Sammamish for a KingCo conference game. The Totems are coming off a 58-0 loss to Juanita last Friday. The game begins at 7 p.m.
