Well, okay. That one lived up to the hype.
Issaquah swaggered into Bellevue Stadium Friday night fresh off a big win against Mercer Island. Bellevue was burstin’ its britches after knocking off Guilderland of New York, as well as Bainbridge Island. Fans crowed, smack was talked and Comcast Sports showed up to [...]
