NO. 22 BELLEVUE ROLLS SKYLINE IN NORTHWEST SHOWDOWNNot many programs in the state – or country for that matter – can claim to have Bellevue's number.
But entering Friday night's showdown between Washington's top two programs over the last decade, Skyline claimed victories over the Wolverines in each of the past two meetings, including a come-from-behind 28-21 victory last season.
