MaxPreps Top 10 High School Football Games of the Week

Bellevue (Wash.) vs. Oaks Christian (Westlake Village, Calif.)

There aren't a lot of high school teams running the misdirection-oriented Wing-T offense, which makes Bellevue a tough team to prepare for. But what makes it even tougher to play the Wolverines is just how disciplined and consistently good they are. The program has captured the Class 3A state title every year but two since 2001 and has lost only 12 games in 11 seasons under coach Butch Goncharoff. This year's squad has 13 starters back including three offensive linemen and all-league quarterback Tyler Hasty (son of former NFL defensive back James Hasty).

While Bellevue specializes at playing the game at a fast pace, it probably doesn't have as much pure team speed as Oaks Christian. The Lions are loaded with athletes including one of the nation's top receiver prospects in 6-3, 200-pound senior Jordan Payton. The task of throwing Payton the ball now belongs to Luke Falk, a 6-4 junior who played last season at Logan (Utah). Defensively, the team's strength is in the secondary, where highly recruited senior cornerback Ishmael Adams leads the way. The question mark on this team is its offensive line.
