Program that once took down De La Salle is Evergreen State's most dominant.

In the MaxPreps era, Bellevue has cemented itself as the most dominant football program in the Pacific Northwest's Evergreen State.
Seven state titles and five No. 1 rankings will tend to lend credence to your claim on the title of most dominant. The Wolverines won the state title six years running from 2008-2013, as well as another in 2006. Additionally, Bellevue had runner-up finishes in 2014 and 2015.
That was enough to distance it from Skyline, which has five state titles of its own and seven Top 3 or better finishes.
Here is how the points break down:
1. 20 for a state title
2. 10 for a state championship game appearance
3.
Other points are based on where a team finished in the final
MaxPreps Washington Football Computer Rankings presented by the Army National Guard. For example, if a team finished No. 1 overall, it would receive
25 points. If it finished 25th overall, the team would get one point. No
points are awarded if the team did not finish in the Top 25.
