Fall camp is at the midway point, and a smattering of spectators at Timberline High's football practice Tuesday in Lacey brought up one popular topic.
Jonathan Stewart.
Stewart is not only easily the school's most-recognizable football star, he's in his own camp in the NFL, trying to secure a spot in the rotation with the Carolina Panthers.
But inside the fence, on the field, second-year coach Nick Mullen was orchestrating an offensive drill, secretly hoping his scout-team defense would hold up.
When the offense moved the ball closer to the goal line, Mullen looked back at his assistants, "I hate being an offensive coach," he said.
And for the next few plays, the second-team defense stuffed the offense – so inspiring that Mullen jumped in the pile to celebrate while the offensive players did 20 push-ups as punishment.
High school sports news from around the state:
It looks like basketball superstar Tony Wroten might be playing at Renton High School instead of Garfield this year. Wroten is widely regarded as the best sophomore in the nation.

Finally, here's more football from The Bellingham Herald. Reporter Joe Sunnen says the Squalicum Storm could shed the label of "basketball school" this season. Squalicum has been reclassified as a 2A school and is the third-largest school in the class.
