Most of the Week 10 postseason games are locked in. There are a few play-in games and mini-playoffs — there’s a five-teamer in the Evergreen Conference! — but here are the match-ups.
Week 10 State Play-in Games
The games for 4A and 3A are listed in order of how teams will be place on the WIAA state playoff bracket. For instance, if Marysville-Pilchuck and Auburn win in Week 10, M-P will play at Auburn in the first round of the state playoffs.
CLASS 4A
Game 1: Graham-Kapowsin at Marysville-Pilchuck
Game 2: Kamiak at Auburn
Game 3: Lake Stevens at Bethel
Game 4: Federal Way/Gig Harbor# at Skyview
The next four games are part of the Columbia Basin Big 9/Greater Spokane League crossovers. The winners of these individual games are not slotted into a place on the state bracket. For instance, if CBBN No. 5 Moses Lake beats CBBN No. 1 Eisenhower, making it the lowest seeded team to win one of these four games, it will receive the No. 4 seed from District 5/6/8.

HOW DOES A 5 WAY PLAYOFF ON THE SAME DAY WORK?
How sure are you in your slotting of games #5 & #6? This would mean that the GSL’s #1 seed Mead & the CBBN’s #1 Ike would meet in the second round, while the lower seeded teams in games #7 & #8 would end up playing each other in Round 2.
Wouldn’t the pairings would be set up so that the #2 seed’s could/would play the other league’s #1 seed, i.e., Mead & Wenatchee in one bracket, and CV & Ike in the other???
I left out the following explanation on this post. I had included it in previous playoff projection posts. In short, the CBBN/GSL teams aren’t automatically slotted into a particular slot on the state bracket. Their placement depends on the winning teams’ seeds.
For instance, if CBBN No. 5 Moses Lake beats CBBN No. 1 Eisenhower, making it the lowest seeded team to win one of these four games, it will receive the No. 4 seed from District 5/6/8. If Eisenhower wins, it gets the No. 1 seed from District 5/6/8.
