Skyline back in 4A title game, Eastside Catholic downs University to punch 3A ticket | Prep football news

Skyline and Eastside Catholic will play for a 4A and 3A state title next week.

Eastside Catholic into 3A championship game

Three Henry Jarvis scores and a defense that allowed only seven points in the second half helped Eastside Catholic to a 42-21 win over University in the 3A state semi-finals and their first trip in school history to the state championship game.

Senior quarterback Trey Reynolds had touchdowns on the ground and through the air for the Crusaders, which will face four-time defending champ Bellevue at 7 p.m. on Friday in the Tacoma Dome.

Skyline erases deficit, heads back for 4A championship

Camas put an early scare in Skyline, taking a 14-0 lead in their 4A state semi-final game, but it was the Spartans that rebounded for a 51-28 win behind four Max Browne touchdown passes and two more from Matt Sinatro.

Browne pulled his team to within seven when he hit Nic Sblendorio in the first quarter and helped his team rattle off 44 consecutive points with another scoring strike Austin Bui and one to Cedric Cooper.

Bellarmine Prep survived Auburn 21-19 in the other semi-final and will be the final team standing between a second straight Skyline championship at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday in the Tacoma Dome.
