The Sound Christian Lions football team has struggled over the past couple of years, usually winning one game per season. The Lions coaching staff is now in its second year at the helm. They made the playoffs in their first season, only to have an early exit at the hands of Neah Bay. Our coaches spent the offseason planning out a new strategy for the team, revolving around a few key players and some new ones that were joining the team at the start of the season. This season, Sound Christian, as of September 30, has matched their win total over the past two seasons combined, currently outscoring their opponents 106-64 in three games. The Lions have had two shutout victories, one against a larger 1A school in Vashon Island. The Lions are above the national average in completion percentage, yards per completion, passing yards per game, completions per game, passing long, and quarterback rating. In the ground game, the Lions are above the national average in yards per carry, rushing yards per game, rushing long, and rushing touchdowns. The Lions are currently averaging 485 all-purpose yards per game, which amounts to 170.8 yards per game higher than the national average. The Lions football team also had the honor of being ranked in the WIAA RPI Top-10 for the first time in five-plus years.
