Bellevue football named dynasty of the decade by Maxpreps
December 30th, 2009 at Wed, 30th, 2009 at 2:05 pm by Joel WillitsIssaquah/Sammamish Reporter sportswriter Kevin Endejan pointed out to me this article by Maxpreps.com writer Nathan Joyce.
Joyce marks down Bellevue football as the No. 1 dynasty of the decade in Washington. Not particularly a tough spot – the team has won seven state titles in nine years.
Newport gymnastics, owners of six state titles since 1998, also makes the list, tied with Issaquah as the No. 7 team.
Joel Willits I'm the sports writer at the Bellevue Reporter newspaper. On this blog you'll find extra bits and pieces to stories I've written, observations on events in our area, and a behind the scenes look at what it takes to bring a story together. I'll field questions here, and maybe even ask a few too. I'm a 2007 graduate of the journalism program at Eastern Washington University. Prior to joining the Reporter, I worked at USA Hockey Magazine and did radio work with the Colorado Springs Sky Sox AAA baseball team. When I'm not busy covering the happenings in Bellevue, I enjoy playing hockey, watching sports and spending time with my family. You can also follow me on Twitter or you can send me an email.
