4A WINNER TO STATE
Glacier Peak 49, Skyline 21
SNOHOMISH — Since moving up to Class 4A at the start of the 2016 season, the Glacier Peak High School football team has come close to the state playoffs time and time again and fallen just short.
The Grizzlies made the Week 10 playoffs each season from 2016-19, but they couldn’t figure out a way to get over the hump.
On Friday night at Veterans Memorial Stadium, Glacier Peak finally got the monkey of its back.
The Grizzlies’ defense allowed just 26 yards in the first half and scored on an interception and a fumble recovery and Glacier Peak captured its first state playoff berth in state’s highest classification with a 49-21 thumping of Skyline.

Skyview 28, Kamiak 7
VANCOUVER — The Knights’ season came to an end with the loss to the Storm in the Week 10 winner-to-state playoff game Saturday at the Kiggins Bowl.
Kamiak (7-2) played with Skyview (8-2) throughout the game, but was thwarted on several occasions after driving into the red zone. That included a 103-yard interception return for a touchdown by Skyview’s Gavin Parker in the fourth quarter that completed the scoring and put the game away. The Storm also produced a game-changing moment in the final minute of the first half, when the combination of a botched snap on a Kamiak punt and a quick-strike touchdown pass from Niko Arriola to Tanner Beaman made it 21-7.
Wesley Garrett’s 11-yard touchdown run in the first quarter tied the score at 7-7 for Kamiak.
The Knights, who were ranked No. 10 in the Associated Press 4A state poll, had a strong season after winning exactly one game in each of its last three full campaigns from 2017-19.
Lake Stevens 63, Emerald Ridge 21
LAKE STEVENS — The Vikings turned a close game into a rout, scoring the game’s final 35 points to win the Week 10 winner-to-state game Saturday and secure their berth to the state playoffs.
Lake Stevens (8-0), the second-ranked team in the Associated Press 4A state poll, jumped out to a fast start, grabbing a 14-0 lead in the first quarter. The teams traded TDs through the second quarter, with Emerald Ridge (5-5) pulling within 28-21. However, the Vikings closed out the half with a touchdown in the final minute, then dominated the second half.
Playing without injured quarterback Grayson Murren, Lake Stevens did much of its damage on the ground, scoring seven rushing TDs.
Lake Stevens learns its round-of-16 fate when the bracket is revealed Sunday.

3A WINNER TO STATE
Arlington 35, Auburn Mountainview 0
ARLINGTON — Arlington High School linebacker and senior co-captain Quintin Yon-Wagner skipped enthusiastically up and down the sideline during the first quarter while the Eagles’ offense was on the field.
He and the rest of the Arlington defense were just that eager to get back on the field, because they knew they were the ones who were going to make the difference Friday night.
The Eagles’ defense played a near-perfect game, pitching an impressive shutout, and Arlington advanced to the state playoffs for the first time in nearly a decade thanks to a 35-0 victory over the Auburn Mountainview Lions in a Week 10 winner-to-state football game at Arlington High School.
