LAKE STEVENS — The Lake Stevens football team took its time getting into a rhythm against the 3-6 Woodinville Falcons last week to open the postseason, leading by just seven at the half. Saturday saw the No. 2 Vikings (11-0) put their pedal to the metal from minute in to minute out in their state playoffs first round matchup with No. 15 Kamiakin.

Lake Stevens got out to a 41-0 lead in the first half, recovering from a fumble on the first play from scrimmage to watch junior star QB Blake Moser sling five TDs while the defense forced five turnovers. By the end of the afternoon, the scoreboard read 55-14, pushing the Vikings to a quarterfinal matchup with No. 7 Moses Lake as head coach Tom Tri’s squad kicked off its bid at its third state title in four years.
