Si but proved to be a worthy opponent for the top 10 ranked Wildcats.  Their next league test will come at the hands of Liberty Wednesday night in Renton.  1-1 in league play, a win against Liberty will put the Totems on the Kingco map.

Coaches must be smart and one player gets sick, SEND HIM/HER HOME!  Do not let one players sickness turn into 6 players getting sick.  Scouting the flu is more important this year than scouting your opponent, so do your research and play it smart, your season is depending on it.

      Kingco Basketball Preview 2009/2010

      Mount Si = The Wildcats enter the season as the league favorite.  Mount Si returns all five starters from a team that finished 2nd last season.  Tanner Riley the league leading score returns along with James Lawson, Kingco’s leading rebounder.  Thebb-riley-action-225x300 challenge for Mount Si will be if they are able to handle full court pressure that they certainly will encounter in the District playoffs.
      Bellevue = Bellevue returns the Kingco League Most Valuable Player in Aaron Bright.  Last season Bright was successful in leading the Wolverines to a disappointing 3rd place finish in the state tournament.  Four of the five starting players have graduated but Chris O’Connor is welcoming a large number of talented players from his undefeated junior varsity team.
      Mercer Island = Mercer Island is the this years Kingco “mystery” team.  They graduated all 5 starters and Ed Pepple, the Islander long time coach retired.  On paper Mercer Island looks to be in a rebuilding mode, but over the last 30 years the Islander have displayed remarkable consistency.  Look for MI to start off slow and gain momentum as the season progresses.
      Sammamish = The Totems look to make great progress this season.  After suffering through 3 disappointing seasons the Totems look to make a statement this season.  Four of five starters return led by Danny Wruble and Anthony Do.  The Totems look to get production from three sophomores who saw considerable action last season as freshman.  Sami Jajour, John Steinberg and George Valle look to make their presence known in a competitive league this year.
      Juanita = Juanita is entering its second season at the Kingco 3A level.  Last year the Rebels struggled but did make the playoffs.  The Rebels will play hard but it will be difficult for this young squad to climb the Kingco ladder.  Look for the Rebels to again make the playoffs and pull off  a few surprises.
      Liberty = Liberty enters the season with a new coach and a very young but talented team.  Last season the Patriots made a late season run by winning 3 or 4 Kingco lead games to qualify for the District tournament.  This season the Patriots will be lead by Jason Wilson their all-everything junior forward.
      Interlake = The Saints seem to be entering another rebuilding season.  They finished last in Kingco in 2009 but have high hopes with the return leading rebounder and scorer, Tim McDonald.  The Saints hope to qualify for the 2A District tournament and must win at least half of the non-league games.
