Wouldn't seem like a normal year of WIAA playoff football if the best rivalry in Class 3A wasn't rekindled.

It's here - No. 2 seed O'Dea, the 3A Metro League champion, against No. 3 Eastside Catholic.

The Fighting Irish went up to Sammamish in Week 4 to clip the Crusaders, 20-0, during the regular season.

The two programs meet in a rematch at 1 p.m. Pacific time in a WIAA semifinal game at Seattle's downtown historic Memorial Stadium. A live feed is available on Eli Sports Network (subscription only).
