2013 Kickoff Classic Preview:
Skyline vs. Bellevue



Kickoff Classic Preview: Skyline vs. Bellevue
By Colin Caruso

To close the evening, the Emerald City Kickoff Classic brought in the two best teams in Washington, a matchup between the 4A Skyline Spartans and the 3A Bellevue Wolverines.  Bellevue has claimed the 3A state crown in 10 of the last 12 seasons, and hasn’t lost a game since 2010.  Their last loss came to these Skyline Spartans.  Coach Mat Taylor and the Spartans have raised the 4A state trophy in four of the last five seasons, and are looking to avenge their 2011 loss to the Wolverines.  This game is not only for ‘Eastside’ bragging rights, but for state bragging rights, as both of these teams are looking to repeat in 2013.

These series of games will be the second set of games in newly renovated Husky Stadium following the Husky opener last Saturday, Aug 31st, in the Dawg’s rout over Boise State. The Skyline – Bellevue game will kick off at 7pm, Saturday Sept 7th. Tickets are $15 at the door and $10 for seniors and students. Good luck to both of our defending state champions!
