SEMI-FINALS:
(1) Yelm vs (4) Eastside Catholic
(2) O’Dea vs (6) Bellevue
MY PREDICTIONS (from beginning: https://prepredzone.com/2023/11/wa-state-predictions-3a-class/ )
(1) Yelm over (4) Eastside Catholic
(3) Arlington over (2) O’Dea
OUTLOOK:
Yelm has continued to dominate whoever they face on Friday nights. Some teams have been able to stay with them a bit, showing signs that the defending champs can be beaten. Damian Aalona Damian Aalona 6'1" | 190 lbs | QB Yelm | 2024 State WA has been one of the most impressive quarterbacks within the entire state of Washington throughout this season. He’s been able to lead them so far, we will see if Yelm can go all the way once again.
Eastside Catholic is a phenomenal team. They are stacked with talent on both sides of the ball. They won a tough, tough defensive battle last week against Kennewick. Not a lot of teams have been able to score on them, due to having one of the best defensive back groups led by Tyson Weaver Tyson Weaver 6'1" | 185 lbs | DB Eastside Catholic | 2024 State WA and Ambrose Marsh Ambrose Marsh 6'1" | 170 lbs | DB Eastside Catholic | 2024 State WA .
There’s no debate out there that O’Dea has one of the top offensive lines in the entire state, they are MASSIVE. Led by one of the best running backs in Jason Brown Jason Brown 5'10" | 205 lbs | ATH ODea | 2024 State WA Jr, not many teams have been able to stop this offense. We will see if any of the teams remaining will be able too.
Bellevue is a team you just shouldn’t doubt ever. They are led by fantastic coaching year in and year out. They always have a plethora of solid players who always step up and do their top. Lucas Razore Lucas Razore 5'11" | 165 lbs | QB Bellevue | 2024 State WA has been awesome all season long, leading this team to a win last week over a very solid Arlington team. We will see if they can play Cinderella and upset #2 O’Dea.
