Mr. Playoffs - High School Version

The "1st Round" of the state playoffs kicks off tomorrow night and there are going to be some interesting matchups this weekend. Here is a link to the 4A bracket.Defending state champion Oak Harbor has to travel to Olympia on Saturday night, eliminating their unique home field advantage.

#1 ranked Bothell has to be the favorite, with Ferris barely squeaking by last week. Graham-Kapowsin is the only remaining SPSL team and they get a home game against South Kitsap. Other matchups include Woodinville traveling across the mountains to play Lewis & Clark at Joe Albi Stadium and 10-0 Edmonds-Woodway hosting Snohomish.

The best game of the weekend happens in 3A when #2 Skyline hosts #1 Lakes. This game could be a very high-scoring affair, although both teams have decent defenses. The winner of this game 9 out of 10 times goes on to win the 3A state title.
