Lockdown rattles students and staff

MTHS went into a lockdown that resulted in the arrest of a senior on Thursday, Oct. 22 during 6th period, after reports that a student had a weapon on campus. The lockdown lasted 15 minutes, from roughly 1:30 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. In this time, administrators were able to isolate the student and their bag that contained a loaded handgun, along with unprescribed pills recovered by local police. The student was then charged with possession of a dangerous weapon on school facilities, possession of a stolen firearm and knowing possession of a controlled substance with no prescription. No one was harmed during the event as the student cooperated with staff.

NK football to host state game, Olympic headed to Anacortes

Fall high school sports is coming down the home stretch with the state playoffs arriving for football, volleyball and girls soccer. Several West Sound teams have the opportunity to host contests this week after earning high seeds from committees that met Sunday, Nov. 8 to finalize state brackets. Here's a look at the upcoming matchups, starting with a football state playoff game coming to Poulsbo: Football No. 9 Woodland (8-2) vs. No. 8 North Kitsap (9-1), Class 2A first round, Saturday, Nov. 14, 4 p.m. : The Vikings won their Round of 32 playoff game against East Valley of Spokane, prevailing 29-6 as the No. 10 seed. The Beavers defeated Bainbridge 28-14 in the same round. North Kitsap last qualified for state in 2023 when they beat Ephrata and Lynden before falling to Tumwater in the semifinals. If North Kitsap beats Woodland, it would most likely draw No. 1 Tumwater in the quarterfinals. No. 13 Olympic (8-2) vs. No. 4 Anacortes (8-1), Class 2A first round, Friday, Nov. 13, 6 p.m. : The Trojans demolished Foster 46-0 in their Round of 32 playoff game as a No. 13 seed, but it didn't move the needle with the state seeding committee.

Elementary school evacuated in Pierce County after students find ‘unusual odor'

Staff and students evacuated an elementary school in Spanaway today because of an unusual odor. According to a post from Central Pierce Fire & Rescue, crews went to Naches Trail Elementary School in the 15000 block of Waller Road East at about 7:58 a.m. The school day had not started, but several students who had arrived early noticed the odor and then said they felt ill. Paramedics evaluated the students, then released them to their parents, the post said. Crews also monitored the air throughout the building and said people could re-enter the school safely. While investigating, crews found an illegal outdoor burn in the area, which might have caused the odor, the post said. Crews found the burn and extinguished it. “Bethel School District officials communicated with affected staff and families throughout the incident,” the post said. “Once the building was determined to be safe, students and staff were able to return to school.” CPFR is taking the opportunity to remind residents about the impacts of outdoor burning. “Burning garbage, plastics, treated wood, and other prohibited materials is illegal and releases harmful pollutants into the air. In some areas of our fire district, burning yard waste is prohibited year-round,”

Results, recaps, stats and more from Week 10 (the Round of 32 playoffs) of the high school football season around the South Sound will be posted on this page over the weekend. FRIDAY’S GAMES (NOV. 6) EMERALD RIDGE 56, EASTLAKE 28 Emerald Ridge has plenty of capable ball carriers. Their styles vary: shifty, bruising, quick, powerful and contact-seeking. But none are as electric with the ball in their hands as Tre Robinson. Whether it was a race to the edge or flashing legit breakaway speed by turning a small gap into a long touchdown run, Eastlake had no answer for Emerald Ridge’s talented junior back on Friday night at Sparks Stadium in the Round of 32 playoffs. Robinson finished two yards shy of the school’s rushing record in a 56-28 win, racking up 274 yards and three touchdowns on 21 carries. “It feels great,” Robinson said. “Just trust. Trust in my coaches, teammates, everybody around me, puts us in a great, great place.” Emerald Ridge piled up 515 yards on the ground. Quintin Gardley rushed for 102 yards and three touchdowns on 14 carries. Moose Amosaia rushed for 62 yards and a touchdown on eight carries. Emerald Ridge’s newfound success
