The Bothell High School football season has been one of perfection so far. The team improved to 11-0 with a dominating 45-14 victory Friday against Eastlake. The Cougars will take on an old adversary in Bellarmine Prep at 1 p.m. tomorrow at Mt. Tahoma Stadium in Tacoma.

Bothell advanced to the State quarterfinals with the win against the Wolves despite the loss of All-State defensive back and 1,000-yard running back Sam McPherson. The senior suffered a torn ACL during the team’s 56-7 victory against Bethel on Nov. 7 during the Round of 32 of the State playoffs.

The State quarterfinal game tomorrow gives Bothell a chance to exorcise some demons, as Bellarmine Prep has knocked the Cougars from the playoffs three-of-the-last-four seasons. Bellarmine Prep upset Camas 20-13 last Saturday. Camas had been 10-0 on the season prior to the loss. Prep was led by running back Nathan Doyle with 134 yards on the ground, including a 70-yard touchdown run, and a stout defense, which also scored a touchdown.

Mt. Tahoma High School is located at 4634 South 74th St. in Tacoma.

Bothell also received more good news this week as head coach Tom Bainter was selected to coach 2015 U.S. Under-15 National Team when the International Bowl series returns to Arlington, Texas, in January and February 2015.

Bothell offensive line coach Jim Monson has also been selected to coach on the Under-16 National Team.

The games are a collaboration of the sport’s national governing bodies in each country – USA Football and Football Canada – featuring top student-athletes in football’s greatest annual international competition.

The event will feature a week of practices and activities for five high school-aged U.S. National Teams culminating with official international competitions. The U.S. Under-18, Under-17, Under-16 and Under-15 teams will play Jan. 30-31 at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys.

Bainter is 124-33 in 14 years at Bothell High School, where his teams have twice won state runners-up.
