MARYSVILLE — The Tomahawks’ run game will be tested against the hard-hitting Bellevue Wolverines’ defense Nov. 28 at the Tacoma Dome in the state 3A playoffs.

No. 1-ranked six-time defending state champion Bellevue, with an unblemished record, brings a 4-3 scheme that is tough to score on and an offense powered by the winged T that hasn’t failed them since 2007.

No team has scored more than 21 points against Bellevue this season, and that was Mercer Island, a team they squashed 42-21.

The Wolverines’ defense trounced Peninsula 31-7 Nov. 21 in the semifinals.

Though their offense was penalized for being sloppy in the first half, Bellevue was always in the lead and scored rushing touchdowns from four players.

The Wolverines excellent offense materialized in the second half which propelled their 10-0 halftime lead to 31-7.

The Wolverines can pass the ball as well.

They won from the air when they took out Sumner 38-0 the game before Peninsula. Wolverine quarterback Justus Rogers completed two touchdown passes while he threw for 133 yards.

M-P’s solution is to fight for every yard, and the defense must not give Bellevue any extra yards, coach Brandon Carson said.

“Every yard we can get is crucial,” he said.
