Federal Way’s Olive and Pulu named All-State
December 1st, 2011 at Thu, 1st, 2011 at 4:38 pm by caseyolsonFederal Way High School seniors Uso Olive and Jordan Pulu were named to The News Tribune’s All-State Team.
Olive is a Portland State-commit and might be the strongest player in the state of Washington. The 6-foot, 310-pound Olive can bench press 455 pounds and can toss away opposing offensive lineman like flies.
The senior finished third in the SPSL South in tackles for loss with 12 during the regular season. Olive’s presence in the middle of the Eagle defense helped Federal Way give up just 11.7 points a game, which was far-and-away the best in the SPSL.
Pulu was a first-team, preseason all-state selection and didn’t disappoint. The 6-foot-3, 235-pound middle linebacker was a beast in the middle for the Eagles’ defense and will play next fall at Washington State University. Pulu was named the SPSL South Division’s Linebacker of the Year by the coaches.
Pulu led Federal Way in tackles with 61 in nine SPSL games for an average of 6.8 a game. He had 50 solo tackles and a high game of 10.5. Pulu broke his ankle during the Eagles’ playoff opening win over Snohomish and was held off the field during their state loss to Eastlake.
