Bothell is on a seven game winning streak.
Washington's high school football playoffs got underway Friday with serious drama in the Class 4A bracket.

A semifinalist a year ago, Puyallup held off Eastlake for a 40-34 win. The Vikings will wait on the winner of Camas-Eastmont on Saturday.
Kennedy Catholic (11-0), the top seed in 4A, eased into the quarterfinals with a 49-20 win over Wenatchee. Behind junior quarterback Sam Huard, the Lancers have scored 40 or more in each of their last 10 outings.
In Class 3A, No. 1 seed O'Dea (10-0) blanked Kelso 35-0. The Fighting Irish get Mt. Spokane in the quarterfinals.
