Henry Jarvis rattled off a pair of first half touchdown runs to go with scores from quarterback Trey Reynolds and Elisha Pa’aga to help Eastside Catholic to a 31-13 halftime lead and coach Jeremy Thielbahr’s squad exploded for 34 more points after the break to bury Marysville-Pilchuck in the 3A state quarterfinals.

The win moves the Crusaders to the state semi-finals for only the second time in school history and sets a Saturday date with University of Spokane at Joe Albi Stadium with a 4 p.m. scheduled kickoff.

A win would put EC into the title game against the winner of the other semi-final between KingCo foes Mount Si and four-time defending champion Bellevue, which ousted the Crusaders in last year’s tournament.
