1. This s**t happens all the time. 2. Sound familiar? 3. The way media reports this is so cowardly. Oh this is gonna be tough for us to hear? Its to naughty to say on tv? ….if an 11 year old had to go through, we’re prob ok to listen to the words. It’s like they want you to look away.

Court docs indicate a plea may be forthcoming in the JULIAN WILLIS matter. Facing three felony s*x crimes for victimizing a minor student, the former Kamiak teacher & coach is likely hemmed in by the DNA he slopped out on the carpets of Coach Macc’s portable, after assaulting a student midday during school. Willis was known for filming TikToks on the days he was assigned to substitute. Reminiscent of a strip club Instagram announcing the day’s lineup, Willis performed suggestive routines from his assigned classroom prior to the school day. The fact that neither these highly disturbing videos …nor the the female student who said Willis cornered her coming out of the girls bathroom…or the girls who told admin that willis was filming their yoga class through a window…really raised any alarms among staff… tells you all you need to know about the relative ease with which serial predators are allowed to operate in the modern public school environment. Willis is set for jury trial Dec 12. He’s probably not looking forward to any plea deal tho bc even if the max of 15 years gets cut to say 44 months via plea…well. The Surenos have a green light on p**os at Coyote Ridge. Ask convicted Lake Stevens p**o Brian Garvie, who hasn’t left his cell in four years bc he was tired of getting stabbed up about the 🚦. Court filings say the persistent Southsiders have now taken to spitting accelerant into Garvie’s cell …followed by a tossed match 🔥. The former independent wrestling official has suffered burns on several occasions. Garvie was initially sentenced to 72 months after news broke that he may have victimized “dozens” of Lake Stevens and Mount Vernon / Sedro area wrestlers in ‘07. He quickly pled to one count of child r**e in a strange set of circumstances. Top prosecutor Mark Roe had bizarrely imprisoned an 18 year old victim for the duration of pre-trial, supposedly to keep the prospective witness available. Nonetheless, a highly unusual step and a quick plea was reached. However, Roe doubled back on the convicted offender as his release date neared, prosecuting the convict for lying during his jailhouse appeal process. Garvie no longer has a release date. Is Willis next?

PASCO – Doing battle with a tattered and wary old predator isn’t anyone’s idea of a pleasant weekend.

No, signing up for a Saturday midday cage match with a literal cornered lion isn’t in the same league as hitting the Home Depot with Honeybuns – perhaps even a Bed, Bath and Beyond run – who knows if you’ll have enough time?

But that’s the situation in which 10-1 Chiawana finds itself. Yes, they are the deserved three seed, the home team for a state quarterfinal matchup and the definitive favorite.

Yeah, that’s all true.

But you know they can’t be thrilled to see Tom Tri, Kolton Matson, Keagan Howard and Jayshon Limar getting off that bus tomorrow, riding a ten game WIAA playoff win streak.

Nowhere outside of mid-2000s Skyline can one find a more decorated set of 4A football players. Matson - the reigning Gatorade State Player of the Year and starting quarterback of the last three 4A title games. Limar and Howard bring four state titles and seven all conference awards between them.

So one would assume this isn’t the type of six seed one might hope to draw for a quarterfinal matchup.

YAKIMA — Fourth-seeded Viking volleyball is in action at the Sun Dome here in Yakima in a little over an hour, and J425 will be there live for photo/video and updates on Instagram and X. The Viks will play this evening as well.

Lake Stevens (17-3) squares off with thirteen-seed Tahoma (15-6) at 11:45 am on Court 1

Meanwhile, in Puyallup, Viking soccer has a change to punch a ticket to the championship game with a win in tonight’s WIAA State Semifinal.

The eight-seed Viks (17-1-2) are favorites tonight against Issaquah, a thirteen seed with nine losses on the season. That said, windy weather is expected and Lake will have to defeat a KingCo opponent that is playing better than their record.

J425 plans to post a livestream of the soccer semifinals with chat and commentary tonight from Yakima.

We’re also happy to announce that we’ve contracted with skilled photographer and videographer Cory Fanton to shoot the soccer semifinal for J425. Fanton’s industry-leading equipment and video quality are evident in his work for Iron Cory Productions and we’re thrilled that he’s able to cover Viking soccer in collaboration with J425.

We’ll also have a preview for tomorrow’s massive state quarterfinal football playoff between Lake Stevens and Chiawana set for tomorrow at 1 pm in Pasco. J425 will cover that event live from the sidelines as well, in addition to the morning and evening volleyball action in Yakima.
