Garfield Head Coach Reacts to Friday Forfeit

Seattle Times reporter Mason Kelly interviewed Garfield High first-year head coach Kelvin Goliday earlier this week about the situation surrounding his team's Friday night forfeit to Lake Washington in the 3rd quarter.

According to Kelly's report, Goliday says there was more to the situation than met the eye.  Garfield trailed 14-0 nothing when Goliday called timeout trying to discuss what he says was a safety issue with officials.  When officials wouldn't talk with him, he kept his team on the sidelines, and that's when he received three penalties, including two unsportsmanlike-conduct penalties that resulted in his ejection.

Goliday will now have to sit-out this weekend's game, which is the penalty for being rejected.

California High School Football Huddle

The 2011 regular season begins this weekend with nationally-ranked Bellevue trying to flex its muscles for Washington against another out-of-state opponent.

The Wolverines will face Oaks Christian of California in the 2011 Mission Viejo Football Classic on Saturday.

Oaks Christian enters the game ranked #21 by MaxPreps.com, Bellevue holds down the #22 spot.  It's the season opener for both teams.

Bellevue lost several starters from last year's team that captured the school's third straight state title, including their starting quarterback and its top rusher.  Oaks Christian needs to find a replacement at quarterback as well, but Ishmael Adams, who rushed for over 1,000 yards, is back.

Bellevue is no stranger to playing out-of-state powers, having played De La Salle (Concord, CA), Long Beach Poly (CA) and Katy (Texas) over the the last decade.

Oaks Christian is building a national reputation, having sent several players into the NFL over the last decade, including Jimmy Claussen of the Carolina Panthers.  Over the last ten years, OC has amassed a 136-14.
