The stands at Edmonds Stadium were hardly jammed, but the Edmonds-Woodway Warriors continued their dominant ways in the annual Mavs-vs.-Warriors Stadium Jam showndown,  shutting out their Edmonds School District rivals from Meadowdale 27-0.

The Mavericks defense played hard, holding the high-scoring Warriors team to just one touchdown for most of the first half, before surrendering a 19-yard touchdown pass from Cruze Colwill to Forrest Newton with just :04 seconds on the clock before halftime.

Edmonds-Woodway used two second-half touchdown runs from Steele Swinton to put the game out of reach.

Swinton made the most of his 38 yards rushing by scoring three times. He finished the season with 14 touchdowns in the five games, 12 of them coming in the final three games.

The real story was the absolute dominance of the Warriors’ defense.

They frustrated the Mavericks offense all night long, holding them to minus-13 yards rushing and just 12 yards passing, for a total of minus-1 yards for the game with no first downs.

Edmonds-Woodway finished the season undefeated, with a 5-0 record. Meadowdale completed the season with a 2-2 record.
