On Friday's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett and Chris Egan from KING 5 start off the Friday show, minus, the Go-2-Guy, Jim Moore who is off traveling to Pullman for Parents Weekend. Puck and Egan talked about what stage of grief they are in with the Mariners and they have yet to reach the point where they are thankful on the past season. Once thing they agree on is that this year is not a predictor on next season. Ownership and front office must be committed to winning in 2026. Once the boys are over talking Mariners, they switch gears to high school sports and discuss the controversy surrounding the Skyline High School football program and the suspension and reinstatement of head coach Peyton Pelluer. The decision surrounds a group of senior parents upset about playing time and they took their grievances to the school and the school district. What has unfolded is just an ugly, ugly story of a group of entitled parents having too much influence and a school and school district lacking a backbone. Pucksports handicapper TroyWins.comjoins Puck to discuss the top games in college football and the NFL. After Puck wraps up with Troy, he welcomes “Friday Night Lights” with Todd Milles from VarsityWaNews.com to cover and preview all the top games in high school football and Todd shares his reporting and perspective on the situation at Skyline High School. Puck then heads to High School football with “The Last Word” with Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times to get the latest on the Seahawks. This past Monday they showed that they truly are championship contenders, but at the same time they do have their warts. The running game is preventing them from comfortably closing games, why is that happening? Drake Thomas continues to be a great story for the defense and one of the best stories in the league. The trade deadline is 10 days away, does Bob anticipate any moves being made for Seattle?Puck wraps up the show with “Hey, What the Puck!?” Once again, parents are trying to ruin high school sports (1:00) Puck and Chris Egan (38:00) TroyWins.com (44:46) Todd Milles, Varsitywanews.com (1:03:25) Bob Condotta, Seattle Times (1:29:14) “Hey, What the Puck!?”
