But it’s not just Sumner carrying our local hopes! We've got No. 16 Skyline taking on No. 1 Richland, and No. 3 Tahoma battling No. 14 Lake Washington. Don’t sleep on No. 13 Curtis either, they’re playing No. 4 West Valley (Yakima), or the clash between No. 5 Gonzaga Prep and No. 12 Puyallup. And check this out: No. 6 Kamiakin vs. No. 11 Eastlake, No. 7 Glacier Peak vs. No. 10 Kennedy Catholic, and No. 8 Olympia vs. No. 9 Woodinville. Every single one of these games feels like it could go down to the wire. The competition is fierce, and we are ready for it!

Our local pride is also riding with No. 3 Gig Harbor, who’s got a tough road against the winner of No. 14 Liberty/No. 19 White River. No. 7 O’Dea is in there too, playing No. 10 Mountain View, and No. 8 Mercer Island takes on No. 9 Roosevelt in what could be a classic! The 2A and 1A finals are heading to Joe Martin Stadium in Bellingham, with No. 1 Bainbridge leading the charge in 2A against No. 16 Pullman, and No. 1 Montesano kicking things off in 1A versus No. 16 Royal. Over in 1B and 2B, they're battling for titles at Wood Field at Carlon Park in Selah, with No. 1 Tri-Cities Prep aiming high in 2B and No. 1 Liberty Christian leading the 1B bracket.
