The Federal Way High School football squad captured the 2026 Fife football camp championship on July 5, a victory that has already ignited enthusiasm as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
Head coach Marcus Yzaguirre describes the roster as a balanced mix of seasoned seniors and a wave of talented newcomers, among them junior Kace Carter, who recently received an offer from the University of Oregon.
The defense has been labeled ‘nasty’ by coaches and peers alike, with standout contributions from Dash Jones, whose father, former NFL player Reggie Jones, casts a long shadow over his aggressive style on the line.
A Promising Start
Summer workouts have become a crucible for the Eagles, emphasizing relentless work ethic and heavy time in the weight room, a regimen Coach Yzaguirre believes will forge the physical edge needed for the battles ahead.
In the quarterback room, two freshmen and two sophomores are locked in a fierce competition for the starting spot, a battle that could define the team’s offensive identity.
The first test arrives on September 4, when the Eagles travel to face Kent‑Meridian, a match that will serve as the inaugural measuring stick for a team poised to make a deep playoff run.
