Final high-school football rankings
Posted by Mason Kelley
It doesn't seem possible. Just like that, we're into the first round of the playoffs. Only 16 teams left in 4A and 3A. Instead of a top 10, I ranked all 16 teams in each classification.
There aren't many changes in the top 10.
4A
After winning a three-way playoff and knocking off Wenatchee, Ferris jumps into the No. 10 spot. Marysville-Pilchuck, Bethel and Eisenhower all jump up one spot.
There are some interesting matchups in the round of 16, starting with Marysville-Pilchuck at Auburn. Both teams are undefeated. Both teams have strong running games. The Trojans played well without Chris Young last week. It will be interesting to see of they can slow down the Tomahawks' ground game.
No. 2 Skyline has to play No. 6 South Kitsap on the road and Issaquah travels to No. 4 Jackson. The Timberwolves looked good against their first KingCo 4A playoff opponent in Eastlake. We'll see how they matchup against the Eagles.
The winner of that game looks to get No. 1 Bothell in the quarterfinals. At this point, the Blue Train is the favorite to win it all.
3A
After an impressive come-from-behind victory over Peninsula, Glacier Peak jumps to No. 9. The Grizzlies put up huge numbers. Quarterback Zach Richter completed 34 of 56 passes for 455 yards and six touchdowns. He didn't throw an interception.
They were down 35-13 with 3:45 left in the third quarter and rallied for a win. With the victory, Glacier Peak travels to No. 7 Timberline.
Capital claimed the final spot in the top 10 and gets to travel to No. 4 Union.
Mount Si get to play top-ranked Bellevue for the second time this year and, after edging Camas, No. 3 Liberty has to play No. 5 O'Dea at Seattle Memorial.
There are plenty of exciting matchups this week and we'll have more on those games throughout the week.
