With the win this week over the Philadelphia Eagles, the Seahawks season continues. Minnesota's upset win over the New Orleans Saints also helped. Going into the playoffs, the top two seeds are the #1 seed 49ers and #2 seed Green Bay Packers. The Seahawks are the #5 seed and the Vikings are the #6 seed. Because the NFL reseeds teams after the first round, that means Seattle will be playing in Green Bay next weekend instead of San Francisco. Though it is not likely, it also sets up a possibility...
PRESCOTT-Prescott hosted Oakesdale Saturday January 4th in an early afternoon conference game. The crowd size was smaller than usual, likely due to the holiday break and 4 p.m. start time. The first quarter belonged to #12 Jonathan Cardenas. He opened the scoring in the first quarter with a jump shot then put on a show hitting three pointers. His first was an open shot that barely moved the net. On his next three, he was well-guarded and the shot was contested by Oakesdale but it didn't matter....
Okay admit it, you’re still not quite sure what happened against San Francisco last week. The first half had you wondering how bad the final score would look. Then Marshawn Lynch dove into the end zone and you started to believe in the team again. In the final seconds it looked like Seattle was going to pull off an upset at home and win the division title. Instead, Seattle fans now have to navigate the NFL playoffs as a #5 seed. Yes, a #5 seed has won the Super Bowl before. It happened back in 2007 when the #5 seeded New York Giants beat an u...

With the loss against the Arizona Cardinals, the Seattle Seahawks need to beat the San Francisco 49ers next week in order to win the division. Unfortunately, the injuries suffered at running back this week will make that very difficult. Losing Rashaad Penny (torn ACL) against the Rams was bad enough but to lose both Chris Carson (hip) and C.J. Prosise (broken arm) against the Cardinals could be too much to overcome. Since all three of the injuries are reported to be season ending, the Seahawks will need to find replacements between now and next...
