3A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
(1) Yelm over (3) Arlington
Yelm is the clear favorite, given they have the best player in the state in Brayden Platt Brayden Platt 6'1" | 240 lbs | LB Yelm | 2024 State WA . Damian and Marius Aalona Marius Aalona 6'2" | 200 lbs | ATH Yelm | 2024 State WA have been on another level this season, showcasing their special connection at a high level. They have been able to dominate most opponents this season but so has Arlington. Arlington’s defense has been one of the best in the entire state, not allowing over 20 points at all during this season despite playing 3 teams that are in this tournament. This is the closest game I had regarding predicting the state champions. Leyton Martin Leyton Martin 6'0" | 165 lbs | QB Arlington | 2025 State WA , QB for Arlington, has been OUTSTANDING this season and has showcases his abilities to step up in big moments, which is why I almost gave them the win. I give Yelm the slight advantage due to the experiencen in these type of games.
