East Oregonian Page 3B SPORTS SEAHAWKS: Williams was a Washington prep football star in Sammamish Friday, August 25, 2017 Continued from 1B AP Photo/Scott Eklund Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Kasen Williams (18) re- acts to a play against the Minnesota Vikings in the first half of a preseason game on Aug. 18, 2017, in Seattle. third preseason game against Kansas City exceptionally important for Williams. Another big game could make for a quite difficult decision regarding Williams when the final cuts are made next week. “He has been spectacular. It is just such an exciting thing to see because this is a kid that we know he has this ability, but he is doing it in the games, so it’s obvious you got to keep going to him,” coach Pete Carroll said. “We have to see how long it continues and how stable that part of our game can become.” Where Williams eventu- ally falls in Seattle’s wide receiver hierarchy may ultimately depend on health and specific attributes. Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett are roster locks. That also appears to be the case for former second-round pick Paul Richardson, should he be able to stay healthy. Seattle is unlikely to part with a third-round pick like rookie Amara Darboah and veteran Jermaine Kearse — as much as fans locally may find fault in his game — is a proven commodity and a favored target of quarterback Russell Wilson. It may come down to Williams and Tanner McEvoy for the final spot if Seattle keeps six wide receivers. The Seahawks like McEvoy’s 6-foot-6 frame and his contributions on special teams, but what Williams has done so far may be too tough to ignore. “Where I am right now is farther than I was in high school and college,” Williams said. “It’s a new me. It’s a better version.” It took one drive for Williams to stand out last week against Minnesota. He made a leaping, one-handed catch for 27 yards, and followed up with a 1-yard touchdown catch to cap off the drive. What happened on the ensuing kickoff may have been even more important. Racing down the middle of the field, Williams made an open-field tackle on Minnesota returner Jerick McKinnon after just a 10-yard return. It’s a given that if Williams makes the roster he will have to contribute on special teams. “It was probably the most important (thing),” Williams said of the special teams play. “Because I know I’ve been here for two years and I know that in order to make this team it’s going to be on special teams. You can make all the offensive plays in the world but if the special teams doesn’t happen it’s going to be hard to make the team.” Williams was one of the top high school players in the country at Skyline High in Sammamish, Washington. He was a star at Washington, only to see his career derailed by a major foot injury. He found a home on Seattle’s practice squad each of the past two years, but other little injuries limited his opportunities on the active roster. Williams has appeared in three regu- lar-season games with one catch in his career. This offseason meant changes. Williams altered his diet, relying heavily on shakes and juices containing numerous vegetables that Williams wouldn’t otherwise eat. The dietary changes seem to be working. He’s down around 10 pounds and feels his body is recovering quicker from practices and games. Williams wants his career to be in Seattle. But he’s also realistic and knows that if the Seahawks do release him late next week there may be opportunities elsewhere. “This is where I want to play. This is love and I’ve put in so much work here,” Williams said. “But at the end of the day if it doesn’t work out here I do believe there will be an opportunity elsewhere.” SCOREBOARD Local slate Baseball VOLLEYBALL Friday Ione at Country Christian (1A Preview), 8 a.m. Ione vs. Trinity Lutheran (1A Preview), 11 a.m. Umatilla at Irrigon, 1 p.m. Ione vs. North Douglas (1A Preview), 2 p.m. Condon/Wheeler vs. Umatilla (at Irrigon), 2:30 p.m. Condon/Wheeler at Irrigon, 4 p.m. Saturday Hermiston at La Grande, 8 a.m. Pendleton at Lewiston (ID) Tournament, 8 a.m. Weston-McEwen at Grant Union Tourna- ment, 8 a.m. Irrigon at Stanfield, 10 a.m. Echo vs. Enterprise (at Stanfield), 10 a.m. Ione vs. Hosanna Christian (1A Preview), 10 a.m. Ione vs. Willamette Valley Christian (1A Preview), 5 p.m. COLLEGE VOLLEYBALL Today Blue Mountain at Lane, 4 p.m. EOU vs. Rocky Mountain (Big Sky Invite, Butte), 11 a.m. EOU vs. Montana Tech (Big Sky Invite), 7 p.m. Saturday EOU vs. Montana-State Northern (Big Sky Invite), 11 a.m. Blue Mountain vs. Umpqua (at Spring- field), 11:30 a.m. Blue Mountain vs. Pierce (at Springfield), 2 p.m. EOU vs. Grand View (Big Sky Invite), 3 p.m. Blue Mountain vs. Skagit Valley (at Spring- field), 3:15 p.m. Blue Mountain vs. Chemeketa (at Spring- field), 5:45 p.m. Sunday Blue Mountain vs. Edmonds (at Spring- field), 9 a.m. Blue Mountain vs. Tacoma (at Springfield), 1 p.m. COLLEGE WOMEN’S SOCCER Today Blue Mountain vs. Pierce (at Tukwila, WA), 4 p.m. COLLEGE MEN’S SOCCER Today EOU vs. Embry-Riddle (AZ) (at Caldwell, ID), 11 a.m. Blue Mountain vs. Southwestern Oregon (at Tukwila, WA), 2 p.m. Prep scores VOLLEYBALL Weston-McEwen 3, Imbler 0 Weston-McEwen 3, Dufur 1 Echo 3, Condon/Wheeler 0 MLB AMERICAN LEAGUE East Division W L Pct GB Boston 73 54 .575 — New York 68 58 .540 4½ Tampa Bay 63 66 .488 11 Baltimore 62 65 .488 11 Toronto 60 67 .472 13 Central Division W L Pct GB Cleveland 70 56 .556 — Minnesota 65 62 .512 5½ Kansas City 64 62 .508 6 Detroit 55 71 .437 15 Chicago 50 76 .397 20 West Division W L Pct GB Houston 77 50 .606 — Los Angeles 65 63 .508 12½ Seattle 65 63 .508 12½ Texas 64 63 .504 13 Oakland 55 72 .433 22 ——— Thursday’s Games Detroit 10, N.Y.
