KING 5's Big Game of the Week played out between longtime rivals Shorewood vs. Shorecrest for Week 4 of the 2018 High School Sports Blitz.
Shoreline Schools athletic director Don Dalziel called it the biggest event of the season.
Shorewood got off to a hot start and never looked back. They earned the Rotary Cup with a 24-0 shut-out over Shorecrest:
Friday’s big football game for the Rotary Cup drew standing-room-only crowds as the crosstown rivals faced off for bragging rights.
This was the 40th Rotary Cup between Shorewood and Shorecrest and it the first time since 2004 that both teams entered the game with winning records.
Shorecrest started 3-0 for the first time since 2005 and had a big win in week two over the defending league champs from Edmonds-Woodway.
Shorewood started 2-1, but also had a big win in week two when they knocked off Meadowdale.
The Rotary Cup trophy was made possible by the Shoreline and Lake Forest Park Rotary clubs. The newer cup style was purchased in 2005.
This season Shorewood is averaging over 33 points a game and Shorecrest is only giving up 15 points a game.
Seahawks photographer Rod Mar was in attendance to take his annual half-time picture of the Shorewood and Shorecrest crowds. We also witnessed an exciting battle off-field as both school's nationally ranked drum lines faced off.
