Cascade Christian had a simple philosophy on defense against Nooksack Valley at the Emerald City Kickoff Classic at Qwest Field on Saturday.

Tackle the ballcarrier. Make the ballcarrier fumble.

The Cougars recovered three fumbles during the 34-12 victory over the Pioneers.

"I told these guys right from the beginning it was all about tackling and turnovers," Cascade Christian coach Randy Davis said. "I think we had one drive and it was right at the beginning that didn't start off a turnover. We took advantage of it."

Cascade Christian beat Nooksack Valley in the Class 1A semifinals last season, 28-12, in the Tacoma Dome. The Cougars lost to Connell, 28-7, for the state title.

The Cougars (1-0) racked up 443 yards of total offense against the Pioneers on Saturday. All-league receiver Jake Archer had seven catches for 105 yards and touchdown catches 14 and 19 yards – both coming in the first quarter when Cascade Christian took a 20-0 lead.

Running back Colton Faverty had two touchdowns and finished with nine carries for 63 yards, including a 24-yard touchdown run that gave Cascade Christian a 34-7 lead heading into the fourth quarter. That offensive series was sparked by one of three fumble recoveries by Cascade Christian, with two leading to touchdowns.

Quarterback Kyle Stennes was 11-for-21 passing for 145 yards and two touchdowns.

Nooksack Valley scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, the last by Bret Rediger on a 5-yard keeper.

Life Christian 44, Seattle Lutheran 22: The Eagles exploded for four second-quarter touchdowns at the Emerald City Kickoff Classic at Qwest Field to win their first game since 2008.

Life Christian scored touchdowns on offense, defense and special teams, with five players reaching the end zone. Quarterback Kingston Kuehner threw two touchdown passes and ran for another.

Drew Curry caught a score and returned a kickoff 81 yards for a touchdown. Cameron Hutchens had a 37-yard fumble return and a 4-yard scoring run.

Riley Roetcisoender hauled in a 72-yard touchdown pass from Kuehner and Kyle Pierotti return an interception 71 yards for a touchdown.

Camas 29, Timberline 15: The Blazers committed six turnovers and the Papermakers outscored Timberline in the second half, 22-6, to win at the Emerald City Kickoff Classic.

Timberline took a 9-7 halftime lead on Josh Brimley's 19-yard field goal as time expired in the second quarter.

Camas' Logan Grindy, a highly-touted quarterback, was 20-for-33 for 171 yards and one touchdown pass.

Todd Olson takes talents to Georgetown University

Posted: 04 Sep 2010 09:42 PM PDT

A doctor of philosophy, a master of science in education and a bachelor of arts with distinction, Todd Olson has been with the University of Denver for almost 16 years.

He has worked in seven student affairs positions, served on 12 committees, taught leadership classes and helped to bring such diverse projects as the Pioneer Leadership Program and Nelson Hall, the new resident hall, to DU.

Student affairs work brought Olson to DU, and this summer it will be taking him away. Olson has decided to leave his position as associate vice provost for Campus Life at DU to become associate vice president for student affairs at Georgetown University in Washington.

In August 1986 Olson came to DU as a resident director. After working in five other positions, he became associate vice provost for Campus Life in 1999. For the past three years he has managed annual budgets totaling $12 million and has overseen 40 full-time staff member, 10 graduate assistants and more than 100 student employees.

In his career at DU, he has instigated change in programs, policies and on-campus living.

Recently, he served as "owner's representative" and "programmatic designer" of Nelson Hall, the $40 million residence hall scheduled to open in 2002.

He also played a leadership role in 1999 developing a "Greek Strategic Plan" to guide the development of the Greek system.

In 1994, he co-founded the Pioneer Leadership Program, a living-learning community focused on ethical leadership, and annually since then he has taught a course for the program entitled "Leading Teams."

He was also a founding member of the National Coming Out Day Committee at DU in 1991.

Through his committee work, he has helped to develop a long-term land use and master plan for DU, helped develop the new admission interview process for prospective students, and has worked to build a positive relationship between DU and surrounding neighborhoods.

When asked why he has decided to leave DU, he said, "I've been here 16 years…it's time for me to try something new…explore a different environment."

Olson said, "I've loved working at DU…DU's been home to me for a long time and there are a lot of people I will miss here."

In early July, he will be taking a new position at Georgetown University, a Jesuit institute with 6,500 undergraduates. He said one of the attractions of the position was the prestige of the university; it is one of the top universities in the country.

He said it will be "a very interesting challenge."

In his position as associate vice president for student affairs at Georgetown, he will be supervising the university's career center, counseling center, minority affairs, student programs and residence life.
