TEAM HISTORY

The 2021 season marked the 22nd season for Coach Bainter as Head Coach at Bothell High School. He and his great staff have brought a winning attitude and great traditions to Bothell Football that the players, school and the community are so proud to be part of!

A little team history on the “Bainter Years”……

It didn’t take long after Coach Bainter arrived for the Cougars to make their mark in the tough KINGCO league and around the State. Can’t wait to see how this season turns out!
