Call them the undefeated.

Three area teams have yet to taste defeat in the young high school football season after posting victories this weekend.

Ballard's Beavers stand at 2-0 following a 28-19 victory at Mariner of Everett on Friday and the combined team of Mount Rainier and Tyee is 1-0 after a 40-0 shutout win over Jackson of Mill Creek at Highline Memorial.

Kennedy Catholic went out the next night and blew away Bothell by a 41-21 score in a game at Highline Memorial to run its record to 2-0.

Mount Rainier and Tyee is just 1-0 because its opener in Bothell against North Creek was cancelled by a massive lightning storm that rolled through Saturday, Sept. 7.

Kennedy Catholic entered this season as the Seattle Times' No. 5-ranked Class 4A team in the state and perennial powerhouse Bothell as the No. 8.

The Lancers led, 21-14, at the end of the first quarter and 28-14 at halftime.

Bothell closed the gap to 28-21 by the end of the third quarter, but the Lancers dominated the fourth, 13-0.

As good as being undefeated is, all of the local games so far are non-league.

Mount Rainier and Tyee visits Tahoma at 7 p.m. Friday as Kennedy Catholic goes to Blanchet.
