He’s not much for offense.
But Friday night at French Field, Kentwood High defensive back Steele Warner was plenty offensive – on both sides of the ball.
Warner, a senior, returned a fumble for a touchdown and set a school playoff record on offense with a 91-yard rushing score on his only carry of the night as the fourth-ranked Conquerors blitzed Heritage 57-14 in a state preliminary game.

Overall, it was a rough day for local teams at the league tournament.

The Kentlake High girls swim team delivered another good day in the pool at Rogers High in Puyallup Oct. 29-30, grabbing a third-place finish in the Class 4A West Central District.

Another broke down only to get back up and deliver one of the season’s most courageous performances.
Despite the heavy rain, there were plenty of local highlights from which to choose during the Class 4A Westside Classic cross country race at Fort Steilacoom Park on Saturday, Oct. 30.
The Kentwood High girls soccer team is finally healthy.
And the results on the scoreboard have reflected as much.
Behind goals from Kiana Kraft and Mykala Benjamin, the Conquerors upended third-ranked Tahoma 2-0 Oct. 28 in the South Puget Sound League North Division regular-season finale for both teams.
Long touchdown plays. Onside kicks. Gaudy offensive statistics. Halftime streakers.
Friday night’s South Puget Sound League North Division showdown at French Field between Kentlake and Kent-Meridian had a little bit of everything.
Except defense.
No resolution was reached during the appeal hearing Friday, Oct. 29 for Kentwood High quarterback Shane Green.
Green, a senior, was suspended for last week's game against Auburn Riverside along with Thursday night's 34-10 win over Kentridge for violating the Kent School District's athletic code. The district was expected to complete its investigation into the incident Friday afternoon.

Off-the-field distractions did little to slow down the Kentwood High football team Thursday night at French Field.
If anything, the recent suspension of starting quarterback Shane Green for an alleged violation of the district’s athletic code very well may have galvanized the fifth-ranked Conquerors.
Kentwood High’s Danny Lunder heard the footsteps closing in and the familiar voice that followed.
Despite being in the midst of a career-best performance on the 3.1-mile cross-country course at Fort Steilacoom Park Oct. 23, Lunder couldn’t help but be taken back a bit upon realizing that voice was coming from teammate Will Richmond.
The Kentlake High girls swim team swam fast at the South Puget Sound League meet on Saturday, Oct. 23.
But the Falcons firmly believe that they can, in fact, swim faster than they did at Rogers High.

Things have come together nicely for the Kentwood High girls golf team.
In fact, things could not have gone any better for the Conquerors during the South Puget Sound League Medalist tournament on Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 20-21 at Bremerton’s Gold Mountain Golf Course.
Behind a near flawless performance by Catherina Li, the Conquerors cruised to the team title with 511 strokes, followed by Tahoma (556) and Thomas Jefferson (556).
The Tahoma High football team hasn’t stopped believing this season.
Not after falling to Auburn in the final minute during the fourth week of the season. Not after squandering a fourth-quarter lead and losing to Kent-Meridian two weeks ago. And not after falling in the final seconds to Auburn Riverside last week.
T-Birds goalie Calvin Pickard has been selected to take part in the 2010 Subway Super Series.
