Most intriguing matchup: Mount Spokane has won its past five games to reach playoffs, and has enough pass-game weapons to test Mount Tahoma.

Deep upset potential: Peninsula is certainly a road underdog in Tri-Cities, but game figures to be low-scoring - and Seahawks did scare Lakes earlier in fall.

Moving on to WIAA bracket: Bellevue, O'Dea, Eastside Catholic, Decatur, Lakes, Roosevelt, Lincoln of Tacoma, Kennewick, Enumclaw, Monroe, Evergreen of Vancouver, Mount Spokane, Ferndale, Central Valley, Seattle Prep, Kelso.
