Pete Carroll is officially returning to the NFL.

The former Seahawks coach agreed to a three-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders to become their next head coach.

The deal includes a fourth-year team option .

Carroll, who turns 74 on Sept. 15, is one of four head coaches to have led teams to both a college football national championship and the Super Bowl.

He’ll also be the Raiders’ fifth coach since the franchise moved to Las Vegas from Oakland in 2020.

The Raiders are coming off a 4-13 season that included a 10-game losing streak, the franchise’s longest such skid in 10 years.

 

The Kraken were silenced by the Washington Capitals 3-0 last night.

The game was scoreless heading into the second, but the NHL-leading Capitals scored a pair of goals to secure their sixth straight win.

Alex Ovechkin added an insurance goal in the third to pull him within 20 goals of Wayne Gretzky’s all-time scoring record.

Joey Daccord had 30 saves in the loss for the Kraken, who were on the verge of winning three straight for the first time since mid-November.

They’ll look to rebound when they wrap up their homestand tomorrow afternoon against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Coverage begins at 12:30 pm and puck drops at 1 on KPUG.

 

Huskies basketball is back on the radio tonight.

The Washington men are looking to snap their five-game skid in a home match against UCLA.

The Huskies have struggled after playing five straight ranked opponents in the Big Ten and sit at the bottom of the standings with a 1-7 conference record.

But tonight could be a bounce-back opportunity against a Bruins team that’s just recovering from a four-game losing streak itself.

Coverage begins at 7:30 and tipoff is at 8 on KPUG.

Meanwhile, the Cougs are hoping to rebound tomorrow after suffering a nearly 30-point loss to Santa Clara last night.

And the Zags will look to avoid an uncharacteristic three-game skid when they travel to face Portland tomorrow.

 

Taking a look at high school basketball scores from last night…

The Sehome girls lost to Mount Vernon 39-32.

Coming up tonight, we’ve got a great doubleheader for you on KGMI…

First up, the Lynden Christian girls host Nooksack Valley in a matchup of the top two 1A teams in the Northwest Conference.
