Garfield and Bellevue are both eager to make the playoffs, and after their last meeting Garfield has something to prove.  Bellevue has bein a spin dropping the last three games, arguably setting up a powerful match-up in a must win situation for both teams. Bellevue and the Bulldogs face off at Skyline high school to determine the fate of their playoff hopes.

After the four way tie for the last two spots in the playoffs, one game would decide who'll move forward to the Saturday game against either Bainbridge or Issaquah. Going into the end of the first half, score is close at 6-5 but with under one minute in the half, Holmes adds to his total as he wraps the crease for a goal and the tie going into the half.

The Whatcom Warriors were all dressed up and know where to play their home play off game, so they were forced to travel down in Stanwood to take on The Port Angeles Rough Riders due to the field in Bellingham being closed early for a construction project.

With all the discussion about the Division II playoff structure, one of the great games we all want to watch, and instead of that being a semi-final game, it will be a first round game.  Both Hale and Northshore are brimming with anticipation.  Knocking out one fo the most talented teams would be the order of the day for both Hale and Northshore.  Which one would it be?

Maple Valley and Mercer Island are in an odd position battling for possession of third place, in what could be a potentially three-way tie.  Each have different styles of play, and maple Valley's late season push has placed them amongst the top four.  Mercer has exceeded expectations all year with a superlative class of sophomores, and tonight may be their crucible of maturity.

The Oregon Ducks have had a tumultuous season.  Starting the season ranked in the top ten, coming into the playoffs in the PNCLL losing players and firing their head coach, the success of the program in jeopardy.  Unified behind their captains, they regrouped and like a phoenix from the ashes, reborn with energy and momentum. 

Western Washington, a team who made a trip to nationals last year, competes against semi-finalist Western Oregon in a stadium perched beneath glorious views in Missoula, MT for the B division championship and a chance to go to nationals.  This year, Western Oregon is the top seeded team, defeating Western Washington 21-11 at their place earlier this year.

What started off as a storybook season, including a upset win over Montana to make the team 5-1, ends with a tough loss to nationally ranked Simon Fraser.  The Huskies, have improved their record from a paltry 2-8 three years ago, to a bid in the playoffs for the first time since 2005.  The beautiful sun and picturesque mountains served as a perfect backdrop to a young squad's best season in four years.

Last night saw the final regular season games for boys DII and what a night it was.  Lots of close games and the battle for the Cascade title between Redmond and Northshore (see recap).  An absolutely great way to end the season.

Large crowds turned out for the final game of regular season and the biggest game so far for Northshore.  Redmond sat in number one positon, undefeated while Nortshore sat in number two nipping at their heals.  A win tonight by Northshore would break Redmonds record and also give them a chance of taking the first round bye in the playoffs.
