The Emerald City's Biggest Football Weekend Is Set, And You Won't Believe Who's Ready To Explode At Husky Stadium
Alright, fam, listen UP! You know we bleed for our Seahawks, our M's, our Kraken, but let's talk about the absolute FUTURE of Washington football, because the news just DROPPED and it's HUGE! Get ready, because the Washington high school football championships are officially coming BACK to Husky Stadium! That's right, the Emerald City's biggest stage is locked and loaded for December 4th and 5th, hosting all six state title games. This marks the fourth straight year these championship showdowns will be played at the home of the Huskies. The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association just shook hands, virtually, with the University of Washington, according to a report from The Seattle Times, and we are absolutely STOKED for another epic season finale!
Reliving Last Year's Unforgettable Showdown
Remember last year, 2025? Holy smokes, the 4A state title game at Husky Stadium was a straight-up thriller. Lake Stevens and Sumner battled it out, two of the top three in the state according to Rivals, with Puyallup topping the rankings. And my man Lance McGee, Sumner's absolute beast of a senior running back and linebacker, he went LEGENDARY. We're talking 6 touchdowns and 356 yards rushing, including the game-winner in overtime! A new state record, just crushing it on the biggest stage. This dude, a three-star prospect and dual-threat, committed to Washington State over places like Portland State, Oregon State, and Boise State. He absolutely earned his MaxPreps Washington Player of the Year title with a monster senior year: 251 carries for 2,489 yards and 42 touchdowns. What an unforgettable show!

The Next Big Thing Hits The Field
Now, looking ahead to December and the 2026 season, Sumner's going to be fighting to get back to the big game, but they'll be doing it without McGee. Those are some tough shoes to fill, right? But hold onto your hats, because they've got another absolute stud on the roster: Braylon Pope. This kid is the crowning jewel of the 2027 class in Washington, a four-star wide receiver who's ranked as the top player in the state by Rivals Industry Rankings. Rivals scout Charles Power didn't hold back, calling Pope a "smooth, coordinated pass-catcher with one of the more complete skill sets among outside wide receiver prospects in the 2027 cycle." Power also noted his "projectable size, measuring in at over 6-foot-2 and around 190 pounds prior to his junior season," and described him as "a fluid athlete with natural movement patterns." This dude is ready to light up Husky Stadium, and you know every scout in the country will have eyes on him!
So yeah, the biggest weekend in Washington high school football is locked down! All six state titles, from 1A to 4A, plus 1B and 2B, are heading back to Husky Stadium on December 4th and 5th. The regular season kicks off on Friday, September 4th, so get ready for some gridiron action! This is where future Dawgs, Cougs, and maybe even some NFL talent get their first taste of glory. You better believe we'll be watching every snap, every highlight, waiting to see who makes history on the Emerald City's grandest stage. Who's ready for some FOOTBALL?!
