Football Preview: Cascade Christian Cougars vs. King's Knights

Suggested Video

Cascade Christian has won five straight games at home (dating back to last season), while King has won five straight on the road also dating back to last season, but those streaks won't matter much on Saturday. The Cascade Christian Cougars will be defending their home-field for the first time this season they go up against the King's Knights at 7:00 p.m. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this match.

Cascade Christian is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They took a 34-28 hit to the loss column at the hands of Eatonville.

Cascade Christian might have lost, but man, Grant Johnson was a machine: he threw for 215 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 127 yards on only nine carries. The dominant performance gave him a new career- in rushing yards. Chace Jenkins was Johnson's top target, picking up 105 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Cascade Christian's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged three passes before it was all said and done. It was truly a group effort as Jenkins, Josiah Laurence, and Johnson picked up one apiece.

Meanwhile, King's lost 34-14 to Orting on Friday.

Cascade Christian couldn't quite finish off King's in their previous matchup back in September of 2023 and fell 15-13. Will Cascade Christian have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other football content.
