It is a weekend of non-league matchups of current WIAA football champions taking on one another.

This is the biggie - 3A No. 1 Bellevue traveling to 4A No. 3 Lake Stevens. Both won state championships in their respective classifications last December in Husky Stadium.

Last season, these two programs met in Bellevue as the Vikings wiped out a 21-point deficit to edge the Wolverines, 34-31.

The two face off at 7 p.m. Pacific time. The game will be streamed live on STSPN Sports Video.
