The Varsity team, a perennial contender in the Emerald Sound Conference, secured a 3rd-place finish in the regular season (6-2) and opened the playoffs with a commanding 6-0 victory over #6 seed South Whidbey. The semifinal matchup against Overlake is a familiar one - the two teams faced off at this stage last season, when the Blazers earned a 2-1 win en route to the conference title.
