Before getting to the matchup with Arizona let’s take a look at the playoff picture. With the Rams loss this past week, the Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers are both in the playoffs. However, the seeding is very much up in the air. I’ll stick with just the possibilities between the 49ers and the Seahawks for the division title. Both teams have 11-3 records with two games left to play. They play each other in Seattle the last game of the regular season. Should the Seahawks win their remaining two games they will win the div...
Dayton-Waitsburg's fall athletic teams banquet theme seemed to be the future is bright at its Monday night at the Dayton Elementary multipurpose room. The only thing that could have gotten the message across better would have been to be playing Timbuk 3's song "The Future is so bright, I gotta wear shades," in the background during the ceremony. "The future is bright," Head Football Coach Troy Larsen explained. "These kids don't play just one spot and they each got better week by week." Larsen s...
Winter sports officially started this past week as the Dayton-Waitsburg girls opened up their basketball season with three games. They fell to St. John-Endicott/LaCrosse 59-28, to College Place 64-35, and 50-30 to Mac-Hi in their first home games of the season at the Dayton gymnasium. While things did not start off optimistically with three losses, the team came away with valuable lessons that will become instilled in them as the season progresses. “They now understand that they have to work hard for four quarters and to play 32 minutes,” sai...
PRESCOTT—Prescott boys basketball played Bickleton High School on Saturday December 7th for their second game in two nights.

Last week's loss to the Los Angeles Rams was costly on two fronts. First it caused the Seattle Seahawks to drop back down to the 5th seed in the playoffs, and second, they lost running back Rashaad Penny for the the rest of the season with an ACL injury. Other injury news is more positive. It was revealed by Pete Carroll that Tyler Lockett had been dealing with a shin bruise for weeks but that it has finally healed. This explains Lockett's lack of production over the past several weeks. Both...

Boys high school basketball kicked off the season in the area with the Dayton-Waitsburg High School's team's first home game of the year. Instead of good tidings, the Mac-Hi Pioneers arrived in a grinch-like mood and left town with a 46-33 victory. Dayton-Waitsburg dropped two other games last week, 78-56 to College Place and a close loss 59-48 at St.John-Endicott/LaCrosse. Despite losses against bigger schools, Coach Roy Ramirez felt the team is going to be fine as the season goes along. "It...

Since head to head matchups are the first tie-breaker when determining playoff seeding, if these teams ended the s...

The girls team has seven students this year and are trying to encourage more girls to come out. They lost 5 seniors off of last year's team....
PHILADELPHIA, Penn.- This should be another close game for Seattle against a quality opponent. Philadelphia has been a hard team to figure out this year losing games against bad teams like Detroit (3-6-1) and Atlanta (3-7) but winning on the road against Buffalo (7-3) and Green Bay (8-2). The Eagles are -2 in turnovers meaning they have more giveaways than takeaways for the season. Their biggest issue is the fumble. Once again the quarterback advantage goes to the Seahawks. #11 Carson Wentz runs...

The 49ers have ten different players with a receiving touchdown. Recently acquired #17 Emmanuel Sanders picked up from Denver and tight end #85 George Kittle lea...
