Arlington knows if it wants to be considered a viable Class 4A contender after many seasons in 3A, it has to beat some of those storied programs in the classification.

A good start would be Friday night by hosting 4A KingCo titan Bothell.

The two face off at 7 p.m. Pacific time. The game will be streamed live on the NFHS Network (subscription only).
