2. LAKE STEVENS VIKINGS 10-0 (4A) beat No. 3 Gonzaga Prep, 35-14 (Sat.)

RB Jayden Limar and ATH Tracye Hanks run it and catch it; WR Drew Carter has hands of glue - and QB Grayson Murren is back. Versatility makes Viks tough out.

3. GONZAGA PREP BULLPUPS 10-1 (4A) lose to No. 2 Lake Stevens, 35-14 (Sat.)

Coach Dave McKenna said he was "greedy" going for it on fourth-and-short in own territory. It backfired - and once Viks grabbed lead, they never relinquished it.

Three-headed monster of William Wang (game-high 197 yards), Blake Teets (103) and Ishaan Daniels (79) unstoppable in team's Wing-T 431-yard rushing effort.

Tornados met their DNA match Saturday - Marysville-Pilchuck's slot-T rushing attack and RB Dylan Carson (career-high 427 yards), who could not be stopped.

6. KAMIAKIN BRAVES 12-0 (4A) beat No. 14 Camas, 35-14 (Sat.)

Even against one of the state's top defenses, WR Payton Graham's impact felt - two rushing touchdowns, a receiving score and a pass that set up final touchdown.

7. EASTLAKE WOLVES 12-0 (4A) beat No. 9 Sumner, 46-29 (Sat.)

When needed, they seem to plug into uncanny big-play scoring ability - and did with 99-yard catch and 100-yard interception return to earn first semifinal berth.

8. KENNEWICK LIONS 11-1 (3A) beat No. 13 O'Dea, 27-21 (Sat.)

Two playoff trips under Randy Affholter, two 3A semifinal berths. RB Myles Mayovsky (132 rushing yards) puts nail in Irish coffin with late third-down conversion.

RB Dylan Carson (career-high 427 rushing yards, five TDs) is now No. 3 in state history for single-season touchdowns (46) - 4 away from tying the WIAA record.

12. EASTSIDE CATHOLIC CRUSADERS 9-1 (3A) beat No. 16 Mount Spokane, 38-14 (Sat.)

Difficult to pinpoint when this offense is due for a break out or bog down - on Saturday, it scored on four consecutive trips to take control of Wildcats.

Irish overcomes slow start, gets RB Jason Brown (102 of 112 rushing yards in second half, two TDs) cooking after intermission - but defense can't get stops.

14. CAMAS PAPERMAKERS 7-5 (4A) lose to No. 6 Kamiakin, 35-14 (Sat.)

Credit the 4A GSHL champions for erasing early 14-0 deficit, but once Papermakers' run game dried up in second half, so did valiant 4A championship reign.

15. BOTHELL COUGARS 10-2 (4A) lose to No. 1 Graham-Kapowsin, 41-25

If somebody wants to knock off No. 1 Graham-Kapowsin, might take a hard look at Cougars' blueprint - blitz QB Joshua Wood on defense, pass often on offense.
