Curtis holds the number one spot with an impressive Tournament Championship in Oregon.  The best of the Northwest is probably in Washington.  That will be confirmed this week when Lakeridge (Curtis' opponent in the championship game) goes against the only challenger left for Lakeridge in Oregon - Newberg.  Check out Maxpreps to see who wins - or drive down to Lake Oswego to watch the game.

 

The Auburn School District tournament gave us some early idea of other powers.  Puyallup won the tournament and strengthens its position at #5.  Not sure yet how they would do against the top 4 at this point, but Bellevue's 21-10 victory over Shorewood at Shorewood gives a slight edge to Bellevue.  It would be nice to see a Puyallup vs (MI,Roosevelt or Bellevue) game.

 

Roosevelt clearly established their position at number 2 with victories on the road against MI and Bellevue.  Maybe they should be number 1 !?!

 

This week has some interesting games as MI plays Bellevue for the first time this season and the Newport / Shorewood ranking will be determined as those two go head to head.  Newport / Shorewood could be critical in determining who goes to regionals for the North.

 

Other games that should give us additional insight are Bainbridge Island vs Peninsula and Gig Harbor vs Stadium!!
