Referenced below will be the top 10, with #11-25 being featured separately.&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>1.<strong>Bellevue WA (2-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Wolverines are loaded with double digit D1 kids on the roster, highlighted by POY favorites [player_tooltip player_id='1128444' first='Max' last='Jones'] and [player_tooltip player_id='348143' first='Ryken' last='Moon']. They will also feature two of the nation's top lineman in Oregon commit [player_tooltip player_id='348139' first='Demetri' last='Manning'] and USC commit [player_tooltip player_id='693682' first='Willi' last='Wascher'].&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2.<strong>West Linn OR (3-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Lions got a scare from a good Sumner WA team last week, getting a big comeback 34-27 win. They also have a quality win versus Eagle HS, a top Idaho program. The game this Friday versus Skyview, WA will be telling.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>3.<strong>Central Catholic OR (3-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Rams have been super impressive considering all of the talent that graduated or transferred after winning the state title. They have nice wins against Hawaii and a good Central Catholic, California team. They likely won't be tested the rest of the regular season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>4.<strong>Eastside Catholic WA (3-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eastside is a legit title contender with some of the top ranked underclassmen on the west coast. The game this Friday versus 3-0 O'Dea is huge.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>5<strong>.Camas WA (3-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Maybe the most well-rounded team in Washington with [player_tooltip player_id='1136399' first='Jake' last='Davidson'] leading the O and [player_tooltip player_id='693691' first='Nikko' last='Speer'] and [player_tooltip player_id='723691' first='Luke' last='Webb'] on defense. The 33-14 win over Lincoln last week was impressive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>6.<strong>Sumner WA (2-1)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sumner has made an early season statement, with a 31-28 win over 2x back-to-back state champ Lake Stevens, and a close loss to top ranked West Linn, Oregon. Give Jr. QB [player_tooltip player_id='726169' first='Nate' last='Donavan'] a lot of credit.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>7.<strong>Lake Stevens WA (1-2)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The record is easily justified with close losses to #1 Bellevue and Sumner. They can still feel good about the rest of their season and a potential threepeat.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>8.<strong>Lake Oswego OR (4-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Steve Coury is a hall of fame coach and has a team that could potentially compete with West Linn and Central Catholic. It always helps when you feature the NW's top running back in [player_tooltip player_id='402416' first='Lamarcus' last='Bell'].&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>9.<strong>Skyview WA (3-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The game of the week in the NW will be when the Storm host #1 West Linn this Friday. [player_tooltip player_id='693684' first='Gavin' last='Packer'] will need to do his thing if they want to compete.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>10.<strong>O'Dea WA (3-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>O'Dea has one of the most talented defenses and line groups anywhere in the West. They beat Eastside Catholic 16-7 last year, and It will take everything they have to beat them again.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
