Eastlake’s win over Skyline solidifies things at the top and sends the Spartans to an unfamiliar setting at the bottom of the 4A rankings. The 4A KingCo title game should be a great one on Thursday at Pop Keeney with a pair of undefeated division champs looking to prove the conference is as strong as ever and again boasts a top-line state title contender.

In 3A, everyone is just waiting for the epic Bellevue-Lakes matchup in the state quarterfinals…wait, what? That’s right, the consensus top-two teams in the 3A rankings will not meet in the Tacoma Dome for the semi-finals as they did last year, or for a state championship as most believe they should, but instead for a semi-final berth.

2A looks to be exceptionally balanced and my guess is at least a few teams are going to get upset early on. From a local perspective, it will be interesting to see how far Interlake can go after reeling off three straight league wins heading into Friday’s regular season finale with Juanita.
