It's no secret one of the keys behind two-time defending Class 4A champion Lake Stevens' later-season resurgence has to do with the play of ninth grader Maxten "Max" Cook.

And the talented newcomer made an impact in his first playoff game last week against Tahoma - an 84-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the team's runaway state play-in victory.

Cook's special-teams highlight was voted the top Week 10 play around the state of Washington. It received 55.7% of the vote, beating out Monroe's late-game touchdown pass against Bellarmine Prep, which received 42.0%
