From the Sidelines
Observations on Vashon Island sports, mostly the Pirates, from the sidelines.

Other than the obvious for the Vashon v Cedar Park Christian football game this coming weekend, who to root for presents a dilema.
Do I want Orting or Cascade Christian to win? If Orting wins, and assuming Vashon wins, Orting, Cascade and Vashon will be 5-1 going into the final week. The winner of the Vashon-Cascade game would end up tied for first at 6-1 and the loser would be 5-2 and tied with Port Townsend for third place if PT takes care of Chimacum this week.
I think I will root for Cascade over Orting and Chimacum over PT. That way Vashon can tie with Cascade for first with a win in the final league game. Orting would have two losses and PT would be out of the way with three losses.
Of course if Cedar Park, Charles Wright or Life Christian pull off an upset or two everything changes.
Since I do not have the wisdom of a national magazine that predicts the winner of the Super Bowl before a single play has been run in the NFL season, and my crystal ball is all fogged up from the rain at homecoming, I guess I’ll just have to do it the old fashioned way: wait until the games are actually played.
