Bellevue 49 Mercer Island 7
The Islanders kept touch for part of the first half with the six-time defending 3A state champions, but were unable to string together enough offense or slow down the bevy of Bellevue playmakers in the Wolverines’ 49-7 win.
The victory not only secured another perfect run through 3A KingCo, it set the state record for consecutive overall wins at 49. Bellevue has not lost since a 2010 game against Skyline.
It will be another home game for the Wolverines next week in the district playoffs, as they look to push their state record for consecutive titles to seven in the 3A tournament.
Newport 49 Woodinville 24
