The Islanders scored five times on running plays in the first half, taking a 35-0 lead into the break. 

In the second half, Lake Washington finally put together a productive drive, ending with a 4-yard run by quarterback Shawn Gray (right), with Riley Simonson scoring on a 3-yard rush in the fourth quarter.

The Kangs fell to 2-1 on the season and play four-time defending state champion Bellevue on Friday, at Bellevue High School, at 7 p.m.

Also on Friday night, the Juanita Rebels were overwhelmed by No. 3-ranked Mount Si 60-6. The Wildcats found the end zone eight times in the rout, with four of them coming on the ground in addition to touchdown passes of 28 and 48 yards from quarterback Trent Riley. Juanita also gave up two turnovers, an interception and a fumble, which were returned for Mount Si scores. The Rebels (1-2) will try to bounce back against Liberty this Friday at 7 p.m. at home.
