MATCHUP WE’RE MOST INTRIGUED BY

Central Valley vs. Glacier Peak: These two 4A contenders seem to find each other this time of year. Last season, the two teams split - the Bears won in regionals, and Glacier Peak returned the favor at the state tournament. Central Valley will not want to get into a track meet in this game, and will rely on its hard-nosed defense, led by MJ Bruno and Peyton Howard. Grizzles will need to find that high gear to win in Spokane.
