Photos of Jack Westover and Efton Chism , both professional football players playing in Super Bowl LV, as high school athletes in Washington. For Monroe head football coach Scott Darrow and former Mount Si Coach Charles Kinnune, it will be the first time their former players will be playing in the Super Bowl .
“It’s really exciting for all of us, old coaches and teammates that were around him and that know what a great person he is,” Kinnune said. “It’s really fun to see such a good person have such a great experience with a great team.” Darrow previously coached Patriots wide receiver Efton Chism. Chism then went on to play for Eastern Washington University. “We’re just really proud of Efton,” Darrow said. “He had a great run and a great kid for us, so we wish him luck.” Kinnune remembers playing Monroe in the last game of the 2019 season, thinking he knew Chism would play on Sundays. It reminded him of when Westover was in his locker room. “He’s taken advantage of his natural talent,” Kinnune said. “That’s what I’ve always appreciated about Jack — he’s never been given anything. He’s had to earn everything.” Westover walked on at UW, earning a scholarship in his second year and playing a big role on the team that got to the national championship. “He’s had numerous setbacks and just keeps plugging because he has dreams, he believes in himself, so you put all that together, and you get Jack Westover,” Kinnune said. Darrow noticed Chism as early as middle school. He remembered him coming onto the team as a skinny freshman and transforming himself over time. “He just devoted himself to the weight room and just got better every day. He was a great leader for us,” Darrow said. “What made him special was just that work ethic and that drive. It’s a lesson for all of us, for all these young kids that come through our program.”Chism isn’t even the most famous person from his graduating class. Senior year, Darrow taught a history class with Chism. Four seats over sat Grammy-nominated musician Benson Boone. “Both really friendly and popular kids,” Darrow said, “It’s fun to see those guys grow and do great things. It’s going to be Benson on the Super Bowl commercials and Efton’s playing potentially. Definitely wild from little Monroe. It’s crazy.” Rooting for the players rather than the team is how both Darrow and Kinnune will approach Sunday, as they still can’t help but root for the Seahawks.“I’m born and bred in Seattle, I love all Seattle teams, but I want Jack to stay healthy and be productive,” Kinnune said.A prosecuting attorney with the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office said thieves have shifted from catalytic converters to copper communication lines.As several players with roots in Washington are set to take the field for Super Bowl LX, their former coaches can't wait to cheer them on.A fatal shooting broke out Tuesday night at a small Renton grocery store, killing one person, the Renton Police Department confirmed.L&I: Renton bus driver allegedly collected workers’ comp while working other jobs A Renton bus driver faces a felony theft charge after he allegedly took time loss payments and other benefits meant for injured workers while working multiple jobs.WSECU Community Champion: Chrystal Ortega’s mission to feed Spokane Chrystal Ortega's tireless dedication recently earned her the WSECU Community Champions Award and a $1,000 grant to further the mission.When Shawn Tibbitts opened Tibbitts FernHill, he was just trying to survive.
