Outlook: Bellevue's dominance in Washington under Butch Goncharoff is one of the great runs in high school football history, and the team shows so signs of slowing down. Sure, it has key positions to fill, but Bellevue has mastered the art of having replacement players ready to step in and not miss a beat. Such is the fruit of running the same schemes from grade school through high school. Bellevue in 2014 will look the same as Bellevue every year: talented, well-coached and remarkably precise.
